You will see that each week we share the average number of House Points per year group. Please be reassured we have not forgotten to include Year 11 this week; they have not been in usual lessons owing to In-Class Assessments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We also regularly share House challenges for pupils to engage with to earn valuable points. Next week, we will be holding House Assemblies (Warrior, Endeavour, Illustrious, Invincible) to update members on current challenges and House point totals, all in readiness for the House event at the end of summer term. Each House leader will also provide pupils with an update on money raised for their update on house charity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We remind parents\/carers that all upcoming events and activities are published on the school calendar which can be found on the website<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eighty fantastic Year 9 historians spent a brilliant 48 hours exploring the World War I battlefields of Belgium and Northern France last weekend. They visited Tyne Cot cemetery (the largest commonwealth cemetery in Europe), explored trenches at Sanctuary Woods and Newfoundland, and honoured the dead at Thiepval Memorial to the Missing at the Somme. Some of our pupils laid wreaths as part of the last post ceremony which takes place every night at the Menin Gate in Ypres.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you to the staff who were giving of their free time, everyone who supported the trip in its planning stages and to the pupils for their company and for representing the Cams Hill School community so well. It was a thought-provoking and moving experience for all involved.<\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just a quick update on this week\u2019s Hampshire Cross Country. 13 pupils represented the district in very difficult and cold conditions against some of the best Cross-Country runners in the county. All pupils gave their best effort finishing in very respectable places. A special mention must go out to O Knipe who placed 3rd<\/sup> in his age group. This is an outstanding performance which means he has now qualified to represent Hampshire in the Inter Counties competition later this month.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Congratulations to all who took part.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n E Frith<\/p>\n L Shawley<\/p>\n S Tata<\/p>\n K Shephard<\/p>\n S Stevens<\/p>\n I Jennings<\/p>\n J Beale<\/p>\n K Marshall Burn<\/p>\n A Cupid<\/p>\n O Knipe<\/p>\n B Walker<\/p>\n J Sims<\/p>\n A Lamont<\/p>\n <\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This week Year 8 visited Southampton City Art Gallery to support their current Sea Life project. Pupils took part in two practical art workshops, which included creating wire fish sculptures and had a guided tour of the gallery. They learnt about the pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones and his artwork based on Perseus and Greek mythology, how artists have used everyday junk to create abstract assemblages and how Southampton City Art Gallery was bombed during the second world war shortly after it has first opened in 1939. The pupils were a credit to the school and their artwork will be displayed in their sketchbooks alongside the rest of their Sea Life project.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The links are from the e-safety advisor and are guides and information for parent\/carers to support their child\/ren to use TIK TOK safely and for parents\/carers to support their child\/ren in the digital world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/safety\/en\/guardians-guide\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\nBattlefields Trip<\/h2>\n
