The Year 7 and 8 girls basketball teams have had a fantastic season. Both
teams were entered into the North West Surrey Schools competition which
involved them playing in 3 separate tournaments. All of the results were then
combined and a final result was given at the end of the 3 rd tournament.
The girls played against other schools including Woking High, Fullbrook, Kings, Winston Churchill,
SJB, Rydens and George Abbott. Some teams even had an A and B team!
We have some very talented basketball players in both year groups and many of the other schools
commented on their amazing play!
The Year 7 team finished 2 nd narrowly losing out to the winners who were SJB. This still means that
they go through to the next round which is the Surrey Finals and will be held at Surrey Sports Park
in Guildford.
The Year 8 team finished 3 rd behind SJB and Woking High.
Please congratulate the following girls who have been very committed to basketball this year.
Year 7 - Holly Davies, Mia Jones, Jess Subbiah, Angel Morrison, Louise Dugan, Charlotte Rowson,
Morgan Crouch, Laura Coomasaru, Freddie Hempson and Abbie Watkin
Year 8 - Cayetana Anderson, Jasmin Alamo, Emily Nicolson, Beth Smith, Lauren Humphrey, Holly
Smith and Alice Smith
Well done.

Parents often ask us what they can do to encourage their child's
development in literacy. To assist, the English Department have put
together some helpful tips. This week, why not find three types of text (a novel, poem
and newspaper perhaps) and compare how they have been laid out? Encourage your
child to see the differences and think about the reasons why they have been set out this way.
Presentational features are often used in non-fiction texts and are also worth discussing.
Use the bulleted questions to help aid your thought process:
Why are particular words/sections within a text in bold/italics/larger print?
Why have bullet points/numbers been used in this text?
How does the text layout help the reader?
Why has this text been highlighted?
How does a diagram/picture/caption help you to understand the information in this/these pages?
What is the purpose of the list/diagram/caption/sub-heading in this text?
Why has some of the information been presented in a table?
What is the main idea of this/each section/paragraph?
What would be a good heading for this section? Why?
