Miss Gayle

7B3 - for discussing their reading books in the library and encouraging others to choose books they will enjoy.

Miss Hickey

Please can I appreciate the winners of the brainteaser this week.

Answer: There are 360 in total. 7 parts of that 360 are doctors and 11 parts of that 360 are nurses. There are 18 parts in total. To work out 1 part we divide 360 by 18 and then to work out the number of nurses we multiply by eleven.

360 ÷ 18 = 20 x 11 = 220

There are 220 nurses (and 140 doctors).

Students awarded with positives this week are:

Hamza Karim 7.6, Mohammad Ashhal Siqqiqui 7.6, Raiyan Khan 7.1, Ishan 7.1, Salahuddin Jabbar 7.3

Ms Knowles

Miss Lopez

7E because they have been working really hard and understanding some really complex grammar.

Dr Jennings

The group we took on the trip last Friday. Zarah, Adam, Salahuddin, Isa, Murtaza, Muaawiyah, Hasan.

They were incredibly mature and troopers in the face of typical British weather, they were polite, grateful and curious, asking thoughtful questions throughout the day and carrying out tasks with accuracy.

I was incredibly proud of the way that they represented themselves and our school.

Miss Peake

My 7E Drama class for their brilliant practical work yesterday on Commedia Dell Arte. Their enthusiasm and exaggeration was extremely comedic and enjoyable to watch! Keep up the good work.

Also, Yusuf Shah for making a better start to this half term. Although he has a little way to go, I acknowledge that he is making steps to improve his work ethic and I have personally noticed his efforts to be more civil around the school.

Miss Stein

Please can I appreciate Esah Ahmed for another fantastic week. He is the student who has received the most positives in our form for the last two weeks. He has done superbly - even when times have been tough this week - we're all just so impressed with him. Keep up the amazing work Esah!
