Remember, remember our extra-curricular clubs in November
During lunchtimes and after school there is a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities ranging from sports to a variety of subject related sessions.
In the SCIENCE CLUB last week, students in Years 7 and 8 took part in a series of experiments to make indoor fireworks and sparklers. This included discovering the reasons why chlorides burn different colours. Under the safe supervision our of Science teachers, students were able to experiment as they created their own firework display. The Science Club takes place every Thursday after school and new students are welcome to join anytime.
The full timetable extra-curricular clubs and activities is available on the link below and has been shared with students via the Show My Homework app.
Below is additional information about some of the new and exciting clubs that have started this academic year.
COMPUTING CLUB is for students that are interested in anything to do with IT. On a Monday lunchtime or after-school in Room B6, students in Year 7 and 8 can take part in fun activities from Games Design & Coding to Graphics Editing.
CODING CLUB is for Year 10 and 11 students that would like to develop their coding skills further. Students that dream of working with computers in the future should meet in Room B6 on a Wednesday lunchtime where they will be able to undertake fun projects and enhance their coding skills for the future and take part in national competitions.
ROBOTICS CLUB students in Years 9 and 10 that have a passion for Technology should go to Room B7 on a Thursday lunchtime to take part in our new Robotics Club. This popular club started in November 2022 and there are only 20 spaces, so will be on a first come first served basis. Students that are interested should register their interest in advance with Mr Green in Room B7.
BUSINESS STOCK SIMULATOR is a Stock Market simulator that allows students to learn how to practice trading for free using www.wallstreetsurvivor.com, which allows them to buy and sell shares with a fictional $100,000 portfolio.
ART CLUB is where our Art team focus on our own favourite artists and movements that have influenced their love of Art with the aim to pass that enthusiasm and passion on to students. It will be aimed towards Years 7 to 9 and will cover a broad range of materials, including clay, wire jewellery making and 2D studies.
CROCHET CLUB is a craft where wool or strands are looped together with a hook to create textiles. It is very popular at the moment with patterns trending on YouTube for flowers, amigurumi (small crocheted animals) scarves and blankets. The club will be showing the basic stitches and techniques so students can crochet flowers (ideal to give to friends and family as gifts) or to donate to the Spalding Flower Parade in May 2023.
ENGLISH PUZZLE CLUB is for students looking for a new way to make friends or strengthen their language skills? Or perhaps just keen to find a new way to dive further with word puzzles and games! The Puzzle Club is a great chance to meet fellow puzzle lovers, learn new skills and strategies, and play games with friends! They have games for 1 to 6 people, including Scrabble, Boggle, Taboo, Scattergories, Crossword Puzzles, Word Searches, Hangman, Mad Libs and more!
READING CLUB is where students will be reading Carnegie Medal Nominated books. Each week students will be asked to read up to a certain point in the book so they can discuss and share their experiences. Everyone will share their favourite parts by reading them, discussing likes and dislikes of the characters, plot and lots more!
