Tonight 7GH, can you visit the above link and tell me about any clubs or other activities outside the classroom you have got involved with this week?

The art of tying a tie!!

Mrs K has been told by senior management that too many Year 7s are walking around school with ill-tied ties - I understand many of you will not be used to wearing a tie on a daily basis, maybe having to tie it fast when in a morning rush. Therefore, here's a video that might help you practise the art of tying a tie. Remember: you will have to retie your tie fast after PE or Performing Arts so it might be worthwhile having a go at home to see how fast you tie a decent tie. Not too long, not too short, knot right at the top covering the top button. This won't be necessary for many of you, so well done those who come into school with immaculate unform on a daily basis!!

PE Extra curricular timetable

Do you know your book villains?

Here is the link to the book villains competition.

The closing date is Monday 1st October.

You can submit your answers using the submission box on the competition page.

The winner will be the person with the most points - if there's a draw, we will select one entry at random.

The prize is a brand new set of the Hunger Games trilogy of books :-)

Year 7's charity

At Deyes we take our responsibilities seriously when it comes to helping the less fortunate. Therefore, we are looking for a charity to support across year 7's fundraising activities.

If there is a charity you feel we should be helping then please see your form tutor or form captain so we can get our suggestions forward. It may be a charity that your family has been supported by in the past or a cause that is particularly important to you.

Also, we are always on the lookouts for interesting fundraising ideas that you would be interesting in getting involved with in order to raise money for our chosen charity - any ideas, please pass them on!

Harry represents school in football

Well done for Harry D for representing the school in the Year 7 football team. Unfortunately, the team lost 8-0 but maybe they will have more luck next time! Well done!

Any other GH members taken part in any extra-curricular activities? Let me know and I will ensure you will get a mention on the Blog.

7GH Girls Form Captain decided

Well done to the two girls who put their name into the running for 7GH form captain.
It was an extremely close vote and the decision came down to a couple of people's hands up.


Form Captain: Rosie
Deputy Form Captain: Aimee

I'm sure Rosie and Aimee will make a great team and help our form out a lot over the next year. Well done to both of you!
Looking forward to the boys' speeches and their vote on Monday.

CATs update

Thank you for your cooperation with today's CATs.

If you took one test today, you will have two tests tomorrow.

If you took two tests today, you will have one test tomorrow.

I find them quite strange myself - they remind me of something you might find on Brain Training on the Nintendo DS or in a puzzle book!

Don't worry, normal service will resume after tomorrow. Have a restful evening.
