Girls Enjoying Success

This week, the Drama Department hosted the first in a series of Design Workshops led by Jess Maliphant-Gray. The first was a special effects makeup workshop, where students learned how to create bruises and wounds using putty, fake blood, and bruise wheels. Not for the squeamish, but lots of fun, students in KS4 and 5 fully immersed themselves in creating gory (yet perfectly painless) illusions.

The girls in Year One are learning all about their amazing bodies! This week, they explored their five senses in a fun and interactive way. With blindfolds on, they took turns guessing which sense was at play, using only their touch, smell, hearing, and more! It was such a joy to hear them describe their experiences. We’re so proud of their curiosity and enthusiasm!

This week, a small group of avid readers in Years 9 and 10 from Channing and @staloysiusc attended a Reading Leaders training session, which was delivered by @beanstalkreads - a literacy charity that works with young people to promote reading for pleasure. Students who attended the training will deliver weekly 1:1 reading sessions with Year 7 pupils every Monday after school from 16:15 to 17:00. They’re all looking forward to meeting their reading partners and can’t wait to share their love of reading.
