Music trip to Kings Of Wessex
Thu 25 Apr 2024Yr8 Music visit to KOW 23rd April 2024
I accompanied our year 8 pupils to Kings of Wessex to meet and listen to Jo Hill perform with her band. Jo performed three songs and then did a question-and-answer session about her journey and the music industry. It was interesting to listen to how she has got to where she is today and her ambitions for the future. Jo talked to the pupils about the best ways to release songs, the role of the producer, the ups and downs of her career so far. The pupils asked some great questions exploring employability within the music industry. We look forward to seeing Jo when she reaches her dream of performing at Glastonbury.
We went to King's to watch Jo Hill perform with her band. Jo went to Fairlands and then studied GCSE music at Kings of Wessex and had the Violin and Piano lessons.
This was the start of her music journey. It was during lockdown that she started to write songs about her feelings and emotions. She got herself a producer, started to release songs and moved to London . Her song 'The City Never Sleeps' was written whilst she was suffering from Insomnia. She is a rising star and has recently been in America songwriting with Ed Sherran. We had lots of questions for her and learnt a lot about her journey.

Year 7s Create Mental Health Area
Wed 27 Mar 2024It has been brilliant to support 7KA with an idea they had way back in September. They suggested a mental health area, where younger pupils could experience some well-being activities. This became reality as four of our year five classes have been having taster sessions on a Wednesday .
The year seven pupils have been leading den building , yoga , art and talking therapy in the forest school area.
The year fives have enjoyed the fresh air and a chance to work with the older pupils.
Well done to the following year sevens: Emily , Verity , Harry, Jack W, Elijah, Ed, Harrison, Olivia, Lily F and Brooke for their commitment and hard work.

Year 8 Netball Tournament at Fairlands.
Wed 27 Mar 2024A very enjoyable afternoon of netball.
HSMS have been working hard on their skills every Thursday and it was good to see their hard work pay off.
Six schools in total: Fairlands, Selwood, Oakfield , Wells Blue and St. Dunstans.
Every school played each other.
Selwood school looked very slick and eventually were the champions.
We played good netball and our shooting was very accurate( well done to Tabitha, Olivia, Grace and Kitty) Some outstanding midfield play from Seren, Esme, Amber and Grace. The defenders played well too ( Emma and Poppy) Many thanks to Eliza for her support even with an injury.
HSMS came in at joint second with Wells Blue and Fairlands came third .
I particularly enjoyed witnessing both Trust schools cheering for each other which bodes well for their year nine squad.
Thank you to our parents for their support with this fixture.

Well done to all those involved!

Tag Rugby Event for Year 8s
Thu 21 Mar 2024Many thanks to the year 13 pupils from Kings of Wessex who travelled to us and organised a mixed tag tournament for over 50 year 8 pupils.
It was great to catch up with Rosa, Lucy and William and pleasing to see that their love of sport has not diminished and they are enjoying sharing this with the wider community. The tournament was fabulously run with all of the pupils active and engaged throughout. There was some excellent rugby with Millie, Olivia, Meghan, Bo and Poppy all playing exceptionally well for their teams. Although it was a highly competitive event it was great to see a large number of our pupils playing and conducting themselves in the right manner. I know the leaders really appreciated it. Henry O, Frankie, Noah B and Oliver M were some of the many pupils who were a credit to themselves and the school. Bennie was rightly crowned player of the tournament and he encompassed all that is good about sport and competition. He did all he could to win each game but never left out his team mates and found time to show respect and compassion to the opposition. An absolute pleasure to be around.
Best of luck to the A level pupils on the final stages of their assessment.
