Halesworth & Southwold Community News June 2019 7 Bungay High School News


ON Tuesday 2nd April a group of Year 7 students went on a visit to Norwich Castle. They attended a series of workshops entitled ‘Storming the Castle’ which involved a number of hands-on activities relating to the siege of the castle in 1216. Maths skills were needed as well as historical ones.


The


castle had to be measured using geometry; supplies of food and weapons in the store rooms had to be calculated; coins struck using medieval techniques and the effectiveness of some ancient weapons assessed. The event was hosted by Norfolk Museums Service who provided a really educational and entertaining experience. All in our group were too polite to point out that Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, who in 1216 successfully stormed the castle, was in his lifetime based in Bungay just


like our school.


At the end of the day there was just time for a quick look at the natural history galleries in the Castle Museum. Stuffed animals caused rather a mixed reaction but there was general agreement that the preserved ‘bum nut’ from the Seychelles was rather amusing.


42 Bungay High School students recently travelled to France for a long weekend of language learning, cultural enrichment and tourism. Residing in an authentic château, students were able to access a real francophone experience by visiting different


French Towns, sampling snails, and making their own crêpes. Students also had the opportunity to learn about French chocolate production at a functioning chocolate factory and French baking at a local boulangerie! thoroughly


enjoyed


The students the


experience with many of them hoping to return next year! The bi-annual ski trip departed to


Tonale, Italy


during the Easter Holidays. 27 students embarked on a 26 hour coach journey into the Alps to spend a week skiing and snowboarding. The snowfall was the best the resort had seen for most of the season, which led to excellent conditions for the students to make rapid progress! By the end of the week, all students, including one with a broken arm made it up to the famous glacier, and many skied/boarded down to the bottom of the slope with excellent technique learned throughout the week. Students experienced fog, sun, snow and copious amounts of pizza and pasta during a very tiring but rewarding week. The coach company and resort team were incredibly impressed with the students’ behaviour and eagerness throughout the week, as they were a true credit to the school from beginning to end. Four Year 9 Product Design students have had great success in this years Print- it competition by designing music promotional


materials.


Harrison Nurse, Thomas Currie, Rosie Rolph and Jy Hughes all received certificates of merit and goody bags including a range of printing and paper merchandising. The judges praised all the students work but said of Thomas, “A huge amount of work has gone into this project. Nicely designed and great cardboard engineering, with some really interesting ideas. Well done!” Because of the new format with entries coming in at different times throughout the year, the judges’ comments of each child will be kept on file and then overall winners and the big prizes will be announced at the end of the summer term. We were delighted to hear we have now gained the silver Young Carer’s Award for the way in which we promote and support Young Carer's in our school.


We are already


working towards our gold award and hope to host a Young Carers Network event here at the school in June for staff at other primary and secondary schools in the region to share ideas and best practice. The exam season has now started so lots of students are busy working their way through revision programmes in order to fulfil their potential. It is a stressful but rewarding time of year and we wish them all the very best. Clinton Gillett Assistant


Suffolk pupils take to the streets


LIVING Streets’ Walk to School Week is over for another year and we’d like to thank everyone in Suffolk who contributed to making it a massive success. Over 12,000 pupils from 400 classrooms in Suffolk joined in with pupils across the UK to enjoy the many benefits of walking to school. Motor vehicles


are the


biggest source of air pollution and one in four cars on the road at peak times are on the school run. More children walking to school means fewer vehicles on the road and improved air quality for everyone. Families in Suffolk can know


that they’ve helped be part of the solution this Walk to School Week by swapping four wheels for two feet. Walking to school not only improves our air quality but is a great way for children to build more exercise into their daily lives, helping them to arrive to school healthier, happier and ready to learn. Once again, a huge thank you


and congratulations to everyone who took part in this year’s Walk to School Week. We hope you’ve been inspired to walk to school all year-round.
