Holly's Year 7 Spring Report

And just like her older brother Holly seems to be excelling in her Year 7 Spring report as well. Despite her anxiety and dyslexia issues she has been rated 1's and 2's (with 1 being the highest you can get) across the board in ALL subjects including the ones she dislikes. How can you ask for more than that?

Brandon's Year 12 Spring Report

I think I have mentioned previously how pleased we have been with how well Brandon settled in to 6th form and seems to be really motivated (more so than in his year 11). Well his Spring report pretty much confirms this as he is on track for a B in his Sociology, C in Economics and a Distinction in his ICT. So the girlfriend and learning to drive doesn't seem to be a distraction and he is still achieving good grades which is great to see. If only he knew what he wanted to do after 6th form!!! 

Home Economics - Smoothie Project Winner

So Holly has now started home economics (or what ever they call it these days) at school and last week made a nice little pasta salad which she had for her dinner one evening. As a small breakout group they also had to design and come up with a brand and the marketing for their own healthy smoothie. To do this Holly's team surveyed other students to get an idea of flavours, colours, prices and then developed their smoothie which they then had to make in class. She brought it home and I have to say it was pretty damn good, a tad on the think side (more like a yoghurt) but very tasty and nutritious. Her group did so well on this project that she was awarded a certificate.

Beauchamps Year 7 School Swimming Gala

Really nice to see that even in senior school Holly is still representing the girls in the school swimming gala and recently competed in a district school gala in both individual and relay events. The individual wasn't great for her as she was put in a breast stroke race which isn't one of her strong ones. But then her school smashed the relay and ended up receiving a medal for their efforts. Well done H.
