From the entire team at G-Mag, we hope that you all have a fantastic summer holiday!

Summer Holidays

End of School Year

The Summer Holidays are almost here and everyone’s looking forward to them. School finishes at 12.30pm on Thursday 22 July. During period 3, there will be a leaving assembly . We will be saying goodbye to:

Mrs Eagle
Mrs Fleet
Mr Pocock
Mr Lay
Mr Maslen
Mrs Burke
Miss Clements
Ms Carpenter (TA)
Miss Spalding (TA)
Ms Bennet – who is having a gap year.

Everyone will miss them.

So from everyone in G-Mag – have a fun filled summer and see you in September.

Houses

At the beginning of the term, 4 houses were formed with 2 tutor groups from each year in each house. They are:

• Berners Lee Yellow Head of House - Mr Jones
• Holmes Blue Head of House – Ms Snook
• Pascal Green Head of House – Mr Williams
• Moore Red Head of House – Mr Russell

2 new tutor groups are being made in Year 8 and 9 so there are 8 tutor groups in each year.

Most people liked the colour and some like the leader but none of the people asked particularly liked their house name. One person didn’t even know their house name.

The house provide more opportunities to take part in different competitions such as quizzes and house matches. The overall winning house will receive a trophy at the end of the year.

The houses will start in September.

Peer Mentoring

Being a peer mentor, I was with a tutor group over the 3 days and I have to say that they got on very well. They all left on Friday with a positive attitude towards Greendown and they couldn’t wait until September and I’m sure that all of the other tutors couldn’t wait either! Also, just a quick reminder to the Year 6’s that when you come up into Year 7 to bring back any forms or locker money.

Will see you all in September and I’m sure you will all get on really well in Greendown and who knows – the G-Mag team might be getting some new reporters!

Year 9

A quick note - could anyone catching the coach to the county ground for Sport’s Day please remember to bring their £2 otherwise they might not be able to get a lift there.

Want to become part of the team?

As a year at Greendown comes to an end, G-Mag looks forward to welcoming new members in September.

During Year 6 induction, they were given the chance to sign up.

We are also looking for students from each year group to come along and participate, if interested.

In September, when the new Year 7s join us, we're hoping to expand in other year groups as well.

If you are interested, please attend the meeting on Friday, 3rd September at 3.30pm in the conference room. This will give you the chance to see whether G-Mag is for you.

If you are unsure of the location, please come to main reception, where someone from the team will be.

Any ideas are welcome and appreciated!

Upcoming L.E.Day

Next Monday, the entire school, minus a few, are participating in a Learning Enrichment Day.

Each year will be doing a different activity, with Year Sevens spending the day in Humanities, while a fraction of the year are going to Bristol Zoo.

While Years Eight and Nine activities are being kept a surprise, Year 10 will be spending the day planning “prom”. The winning team will then have the chance to help in the planning of the prom itself.

We hope that everyone enjoys whatever they’re doing for the day and make the most of it!
