7 winners200

This morn­ing it was the grand final of the year 7 home­work project — “That’s an inter­est­ing T-​Shirt you are wear­ing!” All those that attended were met with a truly excit­ing morn­ing. There was a huge amount of cre­ativ­ity, vari­ety and well-​rehearsed pre­sen­ta­tion skills.
Dur­ing terms 5 and 6 Year 7 have been work­ing hard along with their peers on the final and most chal­leng­ing home­work project so far. It is a project that truly tests their cre­atively, research, inde­pen­dent learn­ing and think­ing skills.
The two win­ners from each tutor group went head to head in front of year 7, par­ents and staff. They were com­pet­ing for the grand VIP prize, “A key to King Ethel­bert School”. The win­ner is given VIP treat­ment: the choice of lessons for the day, to attend in non-​uniform and be treated to free break­fast and lunch for the day!
It is true to say that all were ner­vous, all had worked incred­i­bly hard and had to over come the fear of pub­lic speak­ing. They were fan­tas­tic and are a credit them­selves, the year group and King Ethel­bert School. How­ever, there can only be one win­ner, and this year’s win­ner was John Scan­lon of 7JLS for his exper­i­men­tal sci­ence themed project. It was an ener­gised pre­sen­ta­tion that showed evi­dence based out­comes and a pos­si­ble future in design­ing lab coats. Well Done John! — “That’s an inter­est­ing T-​Shirt you are wearing!”

Thumbs U200Every day, our stu­dents do some­thing to impress us, either help­ing another stu­dent or cheer­ing some­one (staff or another stu­dent) up when they are fit to burst or defus­ing a sit­u­a­tion. Gen­er­ally going the extra mile to help some­one.
The Thumb­sUp Award will be used to recog­nise these stu­dents. Their names will go on the School Web­site and they will receive a certificate.

Thumbs up to Cal­lum Simp­son — vol­un­tar­ily pick­ing up lit­ter from the Hawks House area and putting it into the rub­bish bags on Sports Day & Owen Sherred who helped all the other final­ists present their project smoothly even though he was com­pet­ing against them and finally thumbs up to Elliot Brun­skill for find­ing and hand­ing in some money today!

tank200Year 11 have been a phe­nom­e­nal year group through­out their time at KES and they will be sadly missed by teach­ers and younger pupils alike. Headed by Gail Soal, they have been con­sis­tent in their approach to their stud­ies achiev­ing suc­cess aca­d­e­m­i­cally and voca­tion­ally. This is a credit to them fun­da­men­tally and to all the KES staff who have sup­ported them along their jour­ney.
On Tues­day 24th June Year 11 attended their Leavers Prom at Boughton Golf Club. The boys looked smart and the girls beau­ti­ful. The stu­dents enjoyed them­selves immensely, fine din­ing and the girls danc­ing the night away in chal­leng­ing footwear. The feed­back from the venue was glow­ing and it has to be said that the stu­dents were a credit to them­selves and the school.
Then on Thurs­day 26th June, pupils arrived at the school in var­i­ous modes of trans­port rang­ing from a Mil­i­tary Tank to a Lorry. Once again the pupils were dressed smartly and ele­gantly in prepa­ra­tion for their Leavers Assem­bly. It would be the last time the pupils would sit in the hall together as a Year Group.
The pupils enjoyed and appre­ci­ated the efforts made by their tutors who deliv­ered enter­tain­ing pre­sen­ta­tions to them. There were poems, embar­rass­ing pho­tos and ‘most likely to medals’. There were laughs, hugs, thank you’s and tears. But most obvi­ous was the bond between the pupils and their teach­ers and the under­stand­ing that they will always be a part of the KES fam­ily no mat­ter how much time may pass.
So this is def­i­nitely not a good­bye class of 2014 but a see you later!

globe200On Wednes­day 25th June, stu­dents from year 7 and 9 went to visit Shakespeare’s Globe, Lon­don.
The day included mul­ti­ple activ­i­ties such as: a Mac­beth work­shop, a live sword fight­ing demon­stra­tion and a guided tour of the stage.
Dur­ing the work­shop we spent time tak­ing part in activ­i­ties about Shakespeare’s play Mac­beth. Even Miss and Sir took part!! We did role play and over­all it was really fun.
The sword fight­ing was amaz­ing; they would rehearse the fights like a dance. They used many dif­fer­ent skills whilst demon­strat­ing! They used a rapier and a dag­ger dur­ing one demon­stra­tion, a long sword in another and finally used long poles with knives on the end. Within the exhi­bi­tion there was a dis­play which showed what men wore (as women char­ac­ters) in the Shake­spearean times and we were able to look at these closely and under­stand how it would have felt under­neath all those layers!

We all enjoyed the trip and would def­i­nitely go again!
