    Artist of the Week: Nicole Petrova, Year 10

    Artist of the Week: Nicole Petrova, Year 10

    Due to popular request, we are reinstating the 'Artist of the Week'. This week, we have a piece from Year 10 Art & Design student, Nicole Petrova. This piece from Nicole's A&D sketch book is based on the work of French artist André Derain. Derain's original piece, on the left of the picture, was extended out to the right by Nicole after researching Derain's work and techniques.
    Book Review of the Week: Friend or Foe by Michael Morpurgo

    Book Review of the Week: Friend or Foe by Michael Morpurgo

    The book Friend or Foe was based on two boys during the war. They are from London and they are evacuated into the countryside. The boys catch sight of a plane crashing in the moors and go to investigate when Davey falls into the stream but who saves him? I enjoyed the suspense in this book, when I reached the end I felt it was only the beginning and I wanted more. I would recommend this book to 11 to 13 year olds of any gender.

I would like to place on record, here, my thanks for the contributions they have made to the Academy during their time with us; they will be missed. In Year 3/4 we have Mrs Bakewell now sharing the class with Miss Griffin. Mrs Bakewell is well known to the Academy and many of our parents and we are confident that she will be able to ens

    Book Review of the Week: White Dolphin by Gill Lewis

    Book Review of the Week: White Dolphin by Gill Lewis

    This book is about a girl who didn’t want her dad to sell their boat ‘Moana’ because her mum and her dad made it before her mum went missing. When Kara first met Felix they didn’t get on but when it came to saving the white dolphin they worked together. I loved this book but it was hard to start it but when you carried on reading it was hard to stop. I finished this book when I was with my dad in the tractor! I really recommend this book for other people! Review by Eryn, Ye
