Neatherd Dance Academy

Neatherd Dance Academy. We are thrilled to announce that the groups that regularly meet and dance with Miss Carter De Bois in school at lunch times will become collectively known as Neatherd Dance Academy. Miss Carter De Bois who is a qualified ITDA dance teacher as well as being a highly regarded member of Neatherd’s staff will lead NDA. She will be supported by members of the Creative Arts Faculty, especially Miss Dark who is a dance graduate with experience with professional dance companies in addition to her teaching experience. Our aim as NDA is to offer classes and workshops covering a range of styles, including ballet, contemporary, tap and musical theatre. We hope that the move to one collective group will give students a sense of identity as Neatherd dancers, as well as a feeling of inclusivity within a forum where dancers of all ages and abilities are welcomed and supported Miss Carter De Bois and Miss Dark hope to offer familiar performance opportunities such as participation in the talent show, dance shows and the school production. The school even has its own Neatherd Dance Academy website enabling Parents/Carers to purchase dancewear and accessories at very reasonable and competitive prices. This website is exclusively for the use of the students that attend Neatherd Dance Academy. Miss Carter De Bois is also exploring possibilities for inviting dance professionals into school to work with our students during after-school sessions. Proposed trips and events will include excursions to see live dance at local venues such as the Theatre Royal and to experience dance festivals and competitions. The re-branding of Neatherd Dance will also include a bespoke “dance uniform”. We hope that this will promote a collective identity and will give students a sense of pride when they represent themselves and their school during trips and events. Naturally there will be expenses involved in the running of trips and workshops and for the purchase of uniforms. We hope that parents will be able to support us in this respect. In return, we will endeavour to raise money to help subsidise expenses where possible through fund-raising activities. We will also work closely with the school to access funding families who need financial assistance to ensure that no-one misses out on dance opportunities at school. Please feel free to contact Miss Carter De Bois with any questions or suggestions you may have. . . . . .

Cyclists Get Yourself Seen

Cycling to school is an excellent lifeskill which we wholeheartedly encourage. Kids develop road sense, independence and fitness. But....we’ve noticed far too many pupils cycling with no lights, no helmets and no hi-viz. Motorists are concerned too. Please help your children to prevent accidents. They weren’t brought up watching public information films like we were. https://youtu.be/1MFuSMz1zh0

Request from our gardening club.... The gardening club have come up with a long term plan on how to make the school garden even bigger and better than ever – we want to provide an outdoor educational site that produces lots of organic food for the canteen, food technology, pupils, staff and the community! We have made a list of materials we would love to get our hands on whilst being as sustainable as possible and sourcing them second hand. If you have any of the following items, please get in touch with Mr Anderson to pick them up or drop them off at the main reception. · Wellies, coats, gloves, overalls (weatherproof gardening clothes!) · Wooden pallets, planks, sleepers, MDF boards, logs. Any reusable building supplies. · Shovels, spades, rakes, hoes, axes, hammers. Any building tools or supplies. · Watering cans, piping, guttering, IBC water containers, large plastic sheets to catch water – we are desperate for water storage! · Old sinks, baths, old horse boxes, sheds, shipping containers. · Wire netting, chicken fencing, wooden or metal posts. · Old tractor or car tires, large plant pots. Please get in touch if you have any of these items you could donate, or know anyone who might be able to help out with our search! Mr Anderson

Press Gang Interview - Trans Remembrance Day

Press Gang member Jessica from Year 8 interviewing Mr O'Brien about the transgender day of remembrance tomorrow (November 20th). Pupils were taught about the day during form time today. TDoR is observed annually on 20th November as a day to remember those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia an to draw attention to the continued violence endured by the trans community. TDoR was founded in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a trans woman to mark the murder of a trans woman Rita Hesler in Massachusetts. It was originally a web-based project but has become an international day of action with over 20 countries taking part, including the UK. A TDoR memorial will usually involve a name reading, candlelight vigils arts shows, food drives, film screenings and marches.

The Italy and Battlefields trips have been allocated this week with parents and pupils being informed. Next week students will find out if they are on the Normandy trip, then it will be Bramley Lakes and once all the residential trips have been sorted we will look to inform about the other activities. Rest assured that the vast majority of choices that are not residential, will be allocated.

Activities Week 2019 Booklet.docx

Dear parent/carer, Before half-term all pupils will have received an Activities Week Booklet that explained about the new Activities Week, that is taking place in July 2019. An assembly was also given to explain the new format of the week. The booklet has information on the different activities available. There is a Choices Form at the back of the booklet that needs to be handed back so that we can allocate activities to pupils, without the form coming back in pupils are unlikely to get an activity they would like. The deadline for handing the Choice Form back was today, but we still do not have forms for every pupil yet. We are extending the deadline to Monday 5th November, so that more pupils can get activities they would like to do. Please note that the Italy and Battlefields trips are both now full. The Activities Week Booklet is attached, it is only the Choice Form on page 31 that would need printing and handing back. All Choices Form must be handed to Mr Sinclair who will be outside the Student Reception before school or at break time on Monday. Mr Sinclair https://ift.tt/2Cfix6o
