The Art of Letter Writing

Last term in English, Year 7 were studying the art of letter writing. After practicing some letter writing skills, students were tasked with writing a letter and posting it to anyone of their choice. Some students decided to write to family members, others wrote to friends and many students chose to write to their heroes. We have been delighted to learn that two students received responses from some exciting house-hold names! Lara G in 7T, received a hand-written letter from Sir David Attenborough thanking her for her environmental efforts and Jonah K in 7T, received two signed photographs from Harry Kane! It has been very exciting for the students to receive these responses and is a brilliant recognition of their hard work.

Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment.

Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
