Family Robot Days This term has seen the start of a new initiative to encourage families into school to learn together. The design and Technology Department have organised a series of robot building workshops which are held in school on Saturdays. the next few weeks. On January 17th a launch event was held in the Phoenix Arts Centre to promote the workshop sessions and all who attended had a great time. The launch event was a great success with the Phoenix Arts Centre being superbly set-up as a ‘robot wars’ arena. Nearly 40 year seven students and their families attended the event and all have signed up for a follow-up robot building workshop. John Frizzell, an expert roboteer from the ‘Robot Wars’ TV show gave a video presentation and then ran a small taster workshop where groups of youngsters made their own robot. Making a balloon car was also very popular, as was ‘build a tower out of paper that will hold a 1kg bag of sugar’. And yes, it can be done, the winner reaching 66cms. Other activities included programming traffic lights using ICT, trying out a mini industrial robot made by HCAT students, and also the very popular, ‘Program a Parent’ activity. This wasn’t, regrettably, to agree to extra privileges but to see if a parent could follow instructions when blindfolded. The afternoon ended with an exciting competition between the balloon-powered cars and a gladiatorial contest of the robots made during John’s workshop. The robot building workshops are now underway with students and their parents building robots for a Robot Sports Day to be held in the summer term. | ||

Welcome to Ankh-Morpork on Disc World, a famous city defended by those brave men of the City Watch. Aiding them in their fight for truth, justice and other important things are a small swamp dragon and the Librarian of the Unseen University (who just happens to be an orangutan). | ||

CCF Biennial Review - 14th November The inspecting officer was Air Commodore J. P. Chitty, Commandant of the Air Cadets from RAF Cranwell. The review began with a formal parade which was held in the ABJ. The Air Commodore spoke to a large number of the Cadets, asking questions such as "How long have you been a Cadet?", "What do you enjoy doing the most?" and "Have you been to camp yet?" All of the cadets were able to give him clear and interesting answers. There were then four 15-minute displays by the Cadets.
The final parade was much more informal with many Cadets receiving recognition for achievement in their training. | ||
