If this is of interest to you, please let us know by contacting Mrs Fargher office@camshill.com<\/a> to make an appointment or to find out more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For anyone wishing to recycle their child\u2019s uniform (blazers, ties, shirts, skirts and trousers) – we\u2019d gladly take items via our drop off point in Main Reception.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All money raised will be donated to a local charity or project. #CamsCommunity<\/strong><\/a> #CamsAndProud<\/strong><\/a> #TheresNoPlanetB<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On Thursday 2 and Friday 3 July we would have thrown open our doors to our Year 7 Class of 2025, welcoming them into school on their induction days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sadly, this was not to be but living in our virtual world, we have been able to offer pupils a real flavour of life at Cams Hill School with a tour of the school, videos from subject areas, welcome videos from tutors, transition activities and challenges and two live question and answer sessions for pupils, parents and carers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Accessed via our website, participants have been able to take part in our programme as and when it has been convenient to do so and can revisit the videos and activities time and time again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We thank pupils, parents and carers for the really positive feedback and truly hope that we have been able to reassure our class of 2025 that they are joining a wonderful community that will work hard to ensure they feel settled and comfortable as soon as possible when they join in September.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As part of our re-connection programme, tutors in Year 7 to 10 have hosted a virtual tutor time session this week with their tutor groups.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every tutor has commented on how their session absolutely made their day, how wonderful it was to see the 26+ faces and how excited the pupils were to be together again as a group, quizzing, sharing experiences and just having fun.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was wonderful to have so many entries for our D&T Rainbow Challenge which gave pupils and staff the opportunity to use their skills to \u2018create a rainbow\u2019 and show support for the NHS and all keyworker staff who are working hard during this difficult time. We were bowled over with the entries from both staff and pupils. They were all super creative and showcased a range of skills and mediums.<\/p>\n Well done and thank you all for taking part!<\/p>\n 1st place: S Kent Year 8 Invincible<\/strong><\/p>\n We were super impressed with this entry \u2013 the cake was well designed and demonstrated some excellent technical skills.

An innovative design idea to create an arrangement from everyday household objects. The final outcome was very effective.<\/p>\n 3rd place: M Whitewood Year 7 Endeavour<\/strong><\/p>\n The cake design was extremely creative and demonstrated some good technical skills.

Beautifully designed and decorated ingredients list and method.<\/p>\n Design and Technology pupils were set various food styling tasks with one of them being to produce a plate which focused on the presentation of a Tunnock\u2019s Teacake (or alternative representation of a teacake if people did not have these during lockdown).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We were looking for the most stunning plates created to enter for the national competition run through the \u2018Food Teachers Centre\u2019 Facebook page. The theme was \u201cSeasons\u201d or \u201cFood styling techniques\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Entries to the competition will be judged for creativity, presentation, skills and adding nutritional balance to the plate by the use of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients relevant to their design.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The pictures and descriptions have been uploaded into the competition and voting on them runs until 5 July 2020. This is a closed group of Food Teachers across the country who get one vote only in each category for their favourite dish. Miss Allen and Mrs Collins will be impartial when casting their votes, but we wish all our entries good luck.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All entries to our competitions are also being judged for our own Cams Hill Catering challenge and winners will be notified shortly when voting closes.<\/p>\n On your marks, get set, bake! A special mention must go out to our young bakers.<\/p>\n These pupils have independently engaged with our subject via our D&T Instagram and in doing so created some stunning bakes. Pupils either used our recipes, old family favourites or hacked existing recipes to make their own mark.
