The Comedy of Errors Year
12 and 13 English Literature students, accompanied by Ms Eastham and Ms
Beckett, enjoyed a weekend in rainy Newcastle this December to see The
Comedy of Errors. Performed by the brilliant Royal Shakespeare Company,
The Comedy of Errors is one of Shakespeare’s earliest The production was fantastic – very professional, outstanding acting, costumes and ‘mise en scene’. A bit of Christmas shopping and a curry finished the weekend off nicely, and the group returned tired but amazed by the revelation that, yes, Shakespeare can be funny! Miss Beckett

Year 7 History This term Year 7 have studied the Rise of Islam looking at the Life of Mohammed. They then began their studies of Medieval History by looking at the battle for the English throne which culminated in the Norman Invasion. Finally they studied castles and spent many hours constructing some fantastic models. Well done to Will Wood, Andy Hottowy, Tim Harty and Tyler Marchionne for making such superb and very realistic models. Mr Jupp

Foire St Martin
|
|
| On the
8th of November, students in Year 10 accompanied by Mlle Aminot, Mrs
Bodenmann & Mr Chapuis visited the famous Foire St. Martin in
Vevey. Here is an account by Mariel Luna of that outing.
Le
8 Novembre nous sommes allés à la Foire ST-MARTIN située à Vevey. ST-MARTIN est un homme très généreux, qui pendant le rude hiver 337, a rencontré un mendiant et lui a donné la moitié de son manteau, pourquoi pas le manteau entier? tout simplement parce que l’autre moitié était propriété de l’armée romaine. Tous
les élèves de l’Année 10 ont pris le bus jusqu'à La Tour-de-Peilz
parce qu’il y avait le défilé de St-Martin. C’était des hommes avec
un cheval chacun, mais l’homme qui était St-Martin avait un cheval
blanc.

| After a
year as gap girl at school, December saw us saying goodbye to Jessica
Wilson, who is returning to her native Australia. Thanks for all
your help Jessica and safe journey back to "down under". At the end of term we also said goodbye to Mr Tim Jupp who has been a teacher of Geography at St. George's and a tutor in Minerva House for the last four years. Mr Jupp and his family are off to New Zealand. Tim, you'll be much missed by your colleagues and students alike. Goodbye and good luck.
