7LA3 and 7LB5 Spanish have been writing about their snow folk in Spanish this week. Ms Brown is very impressed with their final outcomes.

Well done Year 7!

All of these wonderful words capture the true spirit of Christmas and the Southam values of Kindness, Confidence and Resilience.

Can you learn them off by heart (and put them into practice) over the Christmas period?

Complete the Christmas Vocabulary challenges to win HAPS and a special prize!

Year 7 footballers were a credit to themselves and the school during practice tonight.

After some strenuous warm up activities the boys applied themselves wholeheartedly to a blood and thunder game of two halves!

The match was played in great spirit, and all enjoyed a delightful 45 minutes under the floodlights on the astro turf.

Pleasure to take you and the words of thanks at the end made it all the more enjoyable.

Mr Samra

What a fantastic turnout for Netball this evening! Students were fantastic and really demonstrated confidence in a positive way.

Last week Year 7 created positive Christmas postcards to post to a residential care home in Ontario, Canada in recognition of world kindness week.

Students designed the postcards with images relating to Canada and Ms Brown was overjoyed to receive nearly 250 entries for the 150 residents. The residents at the care home will be alone this Christmas and the positive words and creativity shown by Year 7 students will really lift their spirits during the festive period.

A huge thank you to all of the wonderful students from Ms Brown.

During the first rotation in Technology this term, year 7 have learnt some embroidery stitches to decorate a piece of A4 denim, using different colour felt, buttons and thread.

Students were taught Back stitch, Blanket stitch, Chain stitch, French knots etc. A zip has been inserted and another piece of denim attached, to make a pencil case.

Well done Y7, you have created some lovely work.

Miss Sinden and Mrs Goymen

The PTSA are running a socially-distanced Christmas Raffle!

Students are asked to donate suitable items, preferably in their House colour and will receive house points for their donations. Please include anything you or a family member would like to see in a Christmas hamper e.g. cosmetics, smellies, chocolates, sweets, biscuits, socks, gloves, bottles etc – we just ask that everything is un-opened and in date!

Students can drop items off at school office from Wednesday 25th November to Friday 4th December

Don’t forget to think Red, Yellow, Blue or Purple and make sure your name and tutor group are attached to your donation (e.g by post-it) so we can allocate your house points! If you are donating bottles that contain alcohol we ask that an adult delivers these to the school reception.

Raffle tickets costing £1 will be sold via Parent Pay from Monday 7th December and the Grand Draw will take place on Wednesday 16th December with winners being notified in time to receive prizes before the Christmas holiday. The number of hampers available will be dependent on donations.All funds raised will go towards resources and facilities for Southam College. However, we also hope to generate enough hampers to spread seasonal goodwill to local establishments like Galanos House and Southam Food Bank, in addition to the work already taking place to support these facilities.

All appropriate COVID measures for quarantine will be applied to this raffle.

Many thanks in advance for your contributions to support the PTSA

Science revision guides and workbooks are now available at cost price on Parentpay. These would be especially useful this year as they give an excellent, comprehensive coverage of everything students need to know.

Please look out for the letters which will be coming out soon, however the letter is just for information. If you want to get on with it as soon as possible we will make sure that every student gets the right ones for the course they are on.

As always, we are happy to exchange any which are still in good condition if students change group, tier or course as there are plenty of things we can do with slightly used copies.

Before you do that, it is worth checking if students in Years 8,10 and 11 have already got one somewhere!

If you require further information, please email me directly.

Jim Eltringham,Head of Science

Mrs Goymen and Miss Dickinson are so pleased with the Year 7 Graphics students for being so positive and producing these very creative Pop art inspired designs that were printed onto mugs!

Well done Year 7!
