French Club News
The French club has continued along its French culinary journey. Last week, the children celebrated Epiphany à la Française with the traditional Galette des Rois. Following the French tradition two lucky people were crowned after they found the hidden “fève” in their slice of cake. This week they baked their own pains au chocolate and croissants and enjoyed eating the fruits of their labours.
St Mungo’s Natty Hat and Silly Wig Day
The whole school showed their support of St Mungo’s charity for the homeless by turning out in an amazingly colourful and inventive array of head gear. Amongst the highlights had to be the organiser of the day’s events Miss Kuit who sported a very avant garde Mohican style wig! Thank you to everyone who helped raise over £220 for St Mungo’s.
GCSE Art trip to London
Last weekend the Thornton GCSE Art group went on a whirlwind trip to London to carry out primary source research for this year’s set task. The trip was enormously inspiring, with visits to the Natural History Museum, the V&A, The Saatchi collection, Tate Britain and Tate Modern packed into the two day schedule. The pupils even had the energy to take in a show – the enormously popular musical Billy Elliot – on Saturday evening. Everyone agreed that the trip was hugely worthwhile, providing plenty of ideas and inspiration for the different topics they have chosen from the exam paper, and Mrs Pearson is very excited about showcasing their final pieces at this summer’s Exhibition.
