What a varied and wonderful week it has been at Castle Hill with plenty of achievements to celebrate!
Fabulous Fashion!
The Pupil Support class loved getting creative designing an array of bright and colourful costumes!
The Dream-Team
Kian Blundell has continued to work hard in supporting our site-manager in the creation of this impressive chicken coop for the chickens who will be arriving in forest school very soon. A massive well done and thank you to you both!
Enchanting Performance
This week the year 10 GCSE Drama group completed their first practical examination. The 3 boys worked incredibly hard to devise an emotional and captivating murder mystery play from scratch. The dedication the 3 boys gave to all aspects of the creative process has been a privilege to work alongside. Together as a team they wrote their own script, memorised lines and monologues, chose their own lighting, sound effects, props and costumes and then confidently performed their play to a small audience.

Tea-Party Magic
One of the year 10 ASDAN groups held their own coffee afternoon for 10/11B this week. The group of boys worked extremely hard to ensure they created an engaging and interesting afternoon for their guests. The boys researched the items they wanted to purchase for their event and worked together as a team to split the job roles to ensure their event ran successfully. 10/11B seemed to enjoy their afternoon and great fun was had by all!
