Secondary School Weekly Bulletin Monday 23 rd January– Volume 1, Issue 14 could repeat the experiment and gather data with better effect next time. A Fantastic world Science Day and a massive thank you if you replied! Mrs. A. Valentine – Head of Science In music, Year 9 we were busy composing songs. This time they were looking at pop songs. Click on the link below to listen to one of the song by one of the groups. 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. By Georgina Carey 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.

All Leisure Studies students took part in the presentation which included an explanation of the range and scope of the Leisure Industry in the UK and Europe, the role of commercial and non-commercial organisations in the Leisure Industry, current developments in the Leisure Industry and the reasons for participation and non-participation in Leisure activities. Congratulations to all students who impressed their audience with their knowledge, self management and presentation skills. This is the first of many such “applied” activities that students will be taking part in during this term. Mr. R. Ellis – Technology Department This week saw Laude host the U/13 girls’ football and boys’ basketball tournament. The pupils played with great enthusiasm and enjoyment, with the girls’ football team taking 1 st place against Swans and S.I.S. The boys’ basketball team tried equally hard taking 2 nd place. The PE department arranged extra football friendly games for our boys who had never played in a tournament. This gave them an opportunity to experience proper matches against the visiting team of S.I.S. It was a great afternoon enjoyed by everyone. Miss O.
