Chatting with Channing
It’s penguining to look a lot like Christmas! We are so proud of our lovely penguins that we created in Pom Pom Art!
In the first part of today’s Mark Reading, Year 12 and Year 13 students opened with a lively debate on the question: should Santa remain the main character of Christmas?
This was followed by jazz performances of festive classics, with the audience joining in, before the staff panto - `Snow White and the Channing Girls`.
After our day in the European Parliament, we enjoyed exploring the rest of the beautiful city of Strasbourg through a trip to its famous Christmas market, language lessons in French, German and Spanish at a language school, a river cruise to explore the historic quarter of Petite France, and a visit to its impressive cathedral. We thoroughly enjoyed our three days in Strasbourg!
Last week, 22 Year 10-12 students were invited to take part in Euroscola at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, due to us being an EPAS school. Spending the day at the European Parliament was an incredible experience which included a Q&A with the Vice President of the European Parliament and discussions and debates on gender equality and cyber security. Our students were 10% braver and raised their hand to take the floor in front of over 700 people from over 50 different countries. We all had a fantastic day there!
The highlight of the Channing year is almost definitely Christmas Classrooms! It’s the most–mentioned memory when we ask our Alumnae about their favourite moments at Channing.
With creativity and talent in full force, we can’t wait to see who Mrs Hughes and the Head Girls choose as winners of the coveted categories: Best Postbox, Best Performance, Most Sustainable, Best Door, and the Overall Winners.
All will be revealed in Mark Reading tomorrow!
