The Neatherd Blog

Last year 84% of students purchased a yearbook and it was a really nice memento of their school days. You will be able to see lots of pictures and comments and have somewhere nice for your friends to sign during your lunchtimes.

After you have read the article on the website if you have any thoughts, comments or questions about the book please post them here. Happy reading and good luck in your exams and careers Year 11.

Since summer 2007 GAG (Global Action Group) have been researching in to China, celebrating Norfolk’s link. Since the beginning of term GAG’s members have been working towards the events of China Day ‘07.

Well it’s December, only two month until we celebrate February 7^th Chinese New Year. What have we done so far?

Following the Chinese lunch, which involved a quick brief of China Day and staff stuffing their faces whilst we watched in hunger; although we worked hard we realised we had a lot to do. So in the last two weeks we have been working our socks off in the mist to producing a not just fantastic day but a day never to forget!

At the moment we are planning on celebrating our link in style. Changing the day completely upside- down from food to lessons. Of course we just had to have a non-uniform day to make the teachers dress up. (Remember prizes for the best costume)

Finished

Well not quite. We have three groups in place organising; lessons, curriculum and admin.

So here is our things we have done up to date so far:

• Introducing idea to school (my Mr Devonish and staff)
• Producing posters
• Producing activities for lessons
• Menu for canteen

… Just a list of the few things we need to do:

• Prompt staff
• Talk to members of staff-money & non-uniform
• Finish posters and advertising

Well done to all of our students - we hope you received the results you were hoping for!  You can see some pictures of the results day in the gallery, and you can also see a clip of the day’s evening news - featuring Neatherd and some of our (ex-)students!

Hasn’t it been quiet this week, with no Year 11 pupils? Aside from those coming in for exams, of course. If only we could come up with an excuse to dispatch Year 10 as well…

Anyway. Mr. Guiney was so sad to see his Year 11s leave that he put this musical (and pictorial) tribute together for them:

Year 11 Musical Tribute

The exhibition idea has been approved by the group and it’s all systems go! Desgins are being drawn, ideas are being discussed… Oh and the posters are back! There was a problem with the size of them so James is currently working hard to fix it. One is already complete, the rest are still work in progress… Good luck!

P.S. Please leave a comment!

Today is the last day of lessons for our Year 11 pupils, and, as usual, pranks have been pulled, tears have been shed, uniforms have been destroyed beyond recognition and goodbyes have been said. And someone parked a tractor in the head’s parking space.

Staff were greeted upon their arrival this morning by a show of hands. Literally:

Unfortunately, the excitement of the day has been tainted somewhat by a disturbing occurrence in Lab 41. Mr Yassin turned up to his classroom to find the door taped shut, and, upon finally gaining entry, found his desk, computer, whiteboard and chair all vandalised with tape and clingfilm.

Clearly shocked, Mr Yassin made this statement:

I was shocked and disgusted at the appalling attack on an innocent teacher that took place this morning. The desecration of my chemistry laboratory was seen as a personal insult and forced me to reconsider teaching as a profession. In addition to this, the theft of my beloved work laptop and ransoming of it, has left me in quite a state and I am talking to the police at the moment about the possibility of legal action and ASBO’s for the perpetrators.

Earlier this week, the school governors were given a tour of the inside of the new building. We sent some spies in with them to take photos!
