Form 6 had a brilliant trip to the National Memorial Arboretum last week, to support our history studies. We enjoyed a fascinating look at the heroes of the holocaust in the classroom and enjoyed the sunshine in the beautiful grounds as we learnt about the different memorials linked to World War Two.

St Wystan`s have been learning about Tourette’s Syndrome in assembly last week. We found out that people who suffer with Tourette`s have no choice in the sound and movements they make, but we can choose how to respond. At SWS, we choose kindness, friendship and inclusion every day.

Form 1 had great fun making smoothies in their DT lessons. They enjoyed tasting a variety of fruits before deciding which combinations to use. The pupils then carefully chopped, blended, and created their own delicious smoothies. The best part was enjoying their finished drinks and discovering new favourite flavours! 🍓🍍🍉🍊

Jetting off around Europe ✈
Form 2 boarded an aeroplane in their classroom and took off on a whistle stop tour of Europe today! They tried food from different European countries, learnt facts about each country and identified the coloured flags. With their tickets and seatbelts on they have enjoyed their experience to begin their Europe geography topic 🌎

Thank you to the Year 8 Tech team from Derby Grammar School, who came to visit us before the half term.
The team shared their roles in the team, explaining how collaboration and teamwork are key to their success. They played a game of catch with our robot, and one lucky Reception pupil caught a competition ball launched by the robot. 🤖
It was also wonderful to see some our past pupils take part in the presentation too!

Welcome to a mysterious island where magic, mayhem, and monsters rule!✨
The pupils in our Prep forms put on a spectacular performance of The Tempest this term. The music, songs and characters came to live on the stage at the 400 Hall theatre. Well done to all the cast for the hard work and confidence whilst performing.
A truly collaborative effort, we would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff involved for pulling together so brilliantly to bring this show to life.
