MFL Competition 2021 Update

We previously highlighted the interesting assembly Modern and Foreign Languages (MFL) had given to all our students based upon the fascinating aspect of using every day coined phrases and how these translate in different languages. There was also the launch of an exciting MFL competition for students to enter in.

We have since had a fabulous response to the competition to invent a new English word, with some original and funny suggestions. The winners will be announced in due course but listed below are a few entries that we particularly liked: 

BUCHDICHTER – someone who enjoys reading so much they are almost addicted

SLEPTONONCIA – When you’re tired but you can’t get to sleep 

READISACULAR – someone who reads a lot of books  

TEAMSNOTTEAMS – when your teams lesson doesn’t work 

STINKPALOPUS – When you stay in your pyjamas until 2 In the afternoon 

SALUTNOT –  When you go to wave at someone you know but then realise it’s not them and put your hand through your hair like you had an itch. 

TIMPET – The moment you know that You have taken something to far

JOYGETFE – the moment when you feel joy after completing a complex task 

UPFORGEDOWNUMM – Where you go upstairs to do something and forget what you were going to do so go back downstairs and then remember/ or are reminded what you were meant to do. 

MEETCH (verb) – the action people do when deep in thought. E.g Susan was meetching, for her that meant scratching the tip of her nose.  

DRAGONCOLD –  when it's so cold it makes your breath smokes, so people look like dragons.

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
