This term has seen the launch of
our new student leadership award.
Students have four challenges that
they must complete and evidence
in order to achieve the bronze
award. During coaching time stu-
dents are looking at what qualities a
good leader needs and how to use
the voice in a variety of leadership
and presentational situations. The
first challenge we are focusing on is
eloquence. Students will be voicing
their opinions on a range of issues
that they have researched in
school, planning presentations to
address these issues, and taking
part in school council and depart-
mental consultation groups. Our first group of primary school learning leaders
have successfully helped out in the reception classes and have received a lot of
positive praise for their mature, caring and flexible thinking skills.
Student Leadership Award launched
Students have been looking exceptionally smart in their School21 PE kits so far. However, now that the weather is starting to turn colder can I please remind students that they can wear a plain black sports sweat-er, hooded top or rain jacket of their choice. They may also wear plain black gloves and black beenie hat if they wish. Small logos only are acceptable. Could I also remind students that if they want water they must bring it in a plastic bottle and have it with them from the start of the lesson.
Outdoor PE kit reminder
As you may know, some of us were invited to take part in a national contest on Sumdog, and guess what? I came as one of the top students. coming 47th. Yes that's right, 47th! All it took was determination as I didn't want to let down Miss Futo, Sugarwell and most of all the whole school. Playing and playing until I got tired, I played for 3 hours, I improved a lot by answer-ing my questions quickly and learning new top-ics. Now I've achieved something great. What have you achieved? By Jathusa Selvarajan, Sug-arwell.
We, at School 21, had a visit from one amazing scientist called Dr Griffiths who is a professorial scientist. She taught us in-credible things like how vitamin C gets absorbed into the body and how it takes up to 15 years to develop a new medicine and costs as much as 5 jumbo jets to make! We had the chance to use new chemicals and found out that taking vitamin C tablets does not always help your body because they dissolve faster in your stomach than in your intestine. It was great to meet someone who does research for their real job and it taught us about what real scientists do. by Sulaiman Martin
