Regents Review Summer '17

The Regents Review Summer 2017

GENERAL NEWS

Library I cannot believe it has been a full school year already. Thank you once again to everyone that has made me so welcome here at Regents Park. It has been a year full of changes, hopefully for the better! I hope you all enjoyed visiting the library during the school fete on July 13th and found something to interest you amongst the books provided by Usborne books. A thank you should be extended to Mrs Freeman and Ms Bambrook from Usborne for making the evening possible. If you missed out on the fete we still have some second hand books available in the library for free. Accelerated reader results 2016 – 2017 Congratulations also to Hannah McArthur and Aaron Lacey for their Library Service Award. Once again a special mention goes to all my student librarians for their hard work this term. I am continuously impressed by how enthusiastic you all are and I hope to continue working with you all next year. Stay tuned for the winner of the 2017 reading challenge in the new term! Into University Year 7 and 8 students took part in sessions run and organised by Into University, an organisation which focuses on encouraging students to succeed in education and beyond. Year 8 students, who begin their GCSEs next academic year, evaluated their own learning styles and how they can use this understanding to help with exam preparation and revision. Students then learned about different careers and the qualifications and experience needed. Year 7 students focused on key skills such as communication, teamwork and problem-solving. Their practical sessions involved the human knot, blindfolded puzzles and line whisper drawings! Students competed as teams for points and prizes and one student from each year group won a memory stick in recognition for their positive

contributions to the sessions. In Year 8 this went to Daniel Gill and the Year 7 prize went to Riley Knowles. Thanks to Into University for delivering such engaging and productive workshops for Regents Park KS3 students.
