Miss O´Reilly – Arts Department
Our interactive whiteboard allows us
to use some excellent ‘Active Teach’
software when delivering English
Literature lessons. We find that these
resources are invaluable when
teaching J. B. Priestly’s An Inspector
Calls and John Steinbeck’s Of Mice
and Men. Students are captivated
with contextual images and audio
recordings of key quotes and points,
alongside the electronic text on
screen. Furthermore, it is evident
the students’ gain a greater
understanding of the text when
working through a bank of activities,
notes and interactive quizzes on
character, theme, language, context
and structure.
NEW GYM FACILITY FOR
LAUDE
The PE Department has been very
fortunate this week. Gym equipment
has been installed and entrusted by a
generous friend of Pippa Butler, a
Laude member of staff, for the benefit
of all.
The gym offers a full range of first
class equipment which includes a
multi – gym, a rowing machine, a
range of sit up boards, weights and
much more, all designed to be used
in different weight training exercises.
Our pupils have eagerly started using
the gym equipment, under the strict
supervision of the PE teachers.
My Song
Georgina Carey has also written an
account of her composition:
“This week in music, we were
composing pop songs around a 4
chord structures. The members of our
group were: Camila, Itziar, Natalie
and Iztiar were on the piano aside
Natalie as well. Camila and I were
singers throughout the composition.
We all helped out to search for lyrics
for our performance. I really liked the
lyrics to go with the piano, as they
sounded very good together at the
end.

The English Department also uses
Video cameras to make recordings of
students performing Drama; these are
then played back on the electronic
screen in the classroom. This is a very
useful tool which facilitates self and
peer evaluation.
Mrs. H. Palmer – Head of English
Due to the popular demand for its
use, a rota system has been put in
place, giving all the pupils a chance to
start exercising, improve muscle
mass, cardio vascular fitness and all
round strength.
