Chapter 7 and 9 Football - End of Term Report

Chapter 7 Football - End of Term Report
 
Early heavy September rain downpours made trials difficult for chapter 7 football, but this soon shaped itself out to produce a group of fifteen pupils who have the talent to eventually challenge all schools at football in Merseyside. Despite early round eliminations from both the National and Merseyside Cup there have been signs of real progress. The stand-out game was versus Calday in the Merseyside Cup having been knocked out the National Cup two days earlier. The team were two goals behind with twenty minutes remaining, but those remaning minutes was evidence that the football team are heading in the right direction by portraying tremendous effort, togetherness and determination that will be a huge benefit to this team in the second term and heading into chapter 8. There have been wins versus several teams that have included Gateacre, St Hilda's, Academy of St Nicholas and Scarisbrick.
Chapter 9 Football - End of Term Report
This talented group of footballers have eventually found the form of last academic year which keeps them in the hat for round six of the National Cup. Although, there have been the frustrations of losing in round 2 of the National Elite's on penalties and round 1 of the Liverpool Echo Shield it's hoped that this team can produce that type of form that will put them in a position to win the next round of the National Cup with only 32 schools remaining from over 700. Several pupils are also involved in a combined U14s-U15s team that have a tough but winnable away fixture in the Merseyside Cup at Cardinal Heenan in the new year. There have been many wins versus several teams that have included Cardinal Heenan, Neston, St Mary's Leyland and Bishop's Bluecoat Chester.

DT Dutch Exchange

On Monday to Wednesday this week, the DT Dept were hosting students and staff from a Dutch school in Rotterdam.  This has been part of a joint venture that has been running for the last 12 months. We have been working collaboratively in cross country teams to develop a product for a global client, Arcadis.  It has been, and continues to be, a fantastic opportunity for our Chapter 12 students, and there will be a reciprocal visit in May to the Netherlands.  
It has been an extremely successful trip and we have all benefitted from it. There have been so many highlights, but in addition to the visits made and joint design challenge, it has been particularly encouraging to witness a number of our quieter, less confident students, developing and engaging in feedback, conversations and during the meal in the city centre on Tuesday.  A HUGE congratulations to all of the Ch12 DT students for their participation, willingness to 'get stuck in', friendliness, time and genuine care for our visitors.  They were a real credit to our school. Congratulations!

Macbeth Comes to Liverpool College

All Chapter 11 pupils were treated to a masterclass in Shakespearean acting when a Splats Entertainment visited the school to perform the full play of the tragedy of Macbeth. The pupils were so enthralled, you could hear a pin drop. Macbeth is one of the great terrifying morality, mystery plays with its witches, warriors and ghosts. Part of the GCSE English curriculum, watching the play was invaluable to enhance the engagement and understanding of all Ch11 pupils. The pupils followed the tragic fall of the Macbeths, who could defeat anything but their own gullible greed. A superb event enjoyed by all. Our thanks to the Wilton Trustees for financing the event.

Liverpool College hosts Aim Higher Writing Workshop

Liverpool College was delighted to welcome award winning author Jason Beresford, who delivered a superb Aim Higher event targeted at More Able pupils in Year 5 and Year 6. Pupils from schools across Liverpool were invited to the event, where Jason developed their report writing skills, encouraging students to interview a wide variety of characters and write a time pressured report, which was then delivered live down a camera to a watching audience. It was a superb event. Jason is an experienced reporter and spent many years as a news reporter both in the UK and in Japan. He is also a TV producer and has directed both Emmerdale and Coronation Street. He is also a children's novelist, best known for his novel “The Fabulous Four Fish Fingers”. The event was absolutely superb and the pupils delighted in his expert tutelage.

Literacy Through Videography - Ancient Greek Workshop

All Chapter 5 pupils had a superb day on Monday when they learnt about the Ancient Greeks through videography. Watching a series of carefully selected video clips, the pupils were able to explore multiple aspects of the Ancient Greeks, focusing upon Homer's Odyssey. The pupils used the clips to stimulate some wonderful writing, then created a fabulous video to retell the story, with every pupil taking an important role. The final film will hopefully be ready to view by the pupils next week.
