Mr Soper and Mrs Chapman Head and Assistant Head of Engima House. studies because it was the ancestral home of the first President of the United States, George Washington. They had a guided tour and were able to ask questions of a very knowledgeable guide. Emily Dickinson, Jasmina Matgepour, and Paige Livingstone attended the Congress to Campus Event at Sulgrave Manor on 12th of November, as part of their studies of American Government and Politics. The students heard from two professors from Cambridge University. Piers Bursill-Hall lectured them on the impact of the 18th century scientific discoveries on the US Constitution which was very interesting! Adam Casey then spoke to the students about the impact of the Federalist papers on the US Constitution. The students massively enjoyed the lectures and were able to see what it was like to sit in on a lecture at such a prestigious university as Cambridge. Next, the students were led on a tour of Sulgrave Manor which connects to their The students then participated in a debate moderated by two former US senators about whether or not the American presidency is considered imperial. This was a competitive atmosphere and the students came away inspired about how hard they need to work to compete in the real world. In the closing activity there was a question and answer session with the senators. Tom Petri (a Republican from the state of Wisconsin) and Jim Moran (a Democrat from the state of Virginia) both fielded some very tough questions from the students. Our ladies asked many good questions and Ms. Markatos was very proud of them for getting right in and gaining the most out of this event. Our students were the first to go and meet the senators personally. They also took photographs with them and had some time 10 to chat personally. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for the students and a real chance to engage with those right in the middle of American politics.
Golf Success @ LG Charlie Coleman went to the British Masters Golf @ Woburn over the weekend of 10th/11th October to see some of the world's top golfers compete (and get a few tips himself!). Whilst there he took part in the Sky Sports Putting Challenge – putting from 15 foot - in an attempt to win tickets to the Ryder Cup 2016, Minnesota, USA - he really didn't think he would stand a chance. However, this week we received confirmation that he had only gone and won! He has won an amazing package for two people consisting of flights to Minnesota, airport transfers, seven nights accommodation and breakfast in four star hotel, private transfers on each day of the Ryder Cup, £500 spending money and most importantly two tickets to the Ryder Cup over the whole weekend! He does have a little wait though, it doesn't take place until September/October 2016 (and this also means he needs to get good grades if he wants to go… ha! ha!) Charlie is a member of the Bletchley Junior Team @ Windmill Hill Golf Club along with several other Lord Grey students - Oliver Coleman, Daniel Brown, Zac Nash, Morgan Maxwell and Brandon Sanders. They train every Friday evening, play most weekends and enter the odd tournament here and there. They have been quite successful in the short time they have been together - here's a couple of bits below which will give you a taster of how successful they are at golf. Charlie recently won the Alan Turing Cup competition at the Windmill Hill Golf Club - playing 3 rounds, a quarter final, beating off his dad in the semi final to get to the final. He then went on to beat Daniel Brown’s dad to take the trophy. Charlie, Zac and Daniel recently entered the TGB Tour at Abbey Hill. Charlie came away with the Nett Score runner up with Zac winning Nett Score and also coming runner up in the Gross Score. Charlie, Zac, Daniel and Brandon also entered a ProAm Tour at Windmill Hill Golf Club playing alongside some top professionals. All the boys played extremely well beating all of the adult amateur field coming away with the top spots! I'm sure you will all agree you have some very talented golfers at Lord Grey and they all deserve a mention!....you never know, it could be one of them competing in the Ryder Cup one day....
