SOUTH EAST HAMPSHIRE DANCE FESTIVAL
MONDAY 23 JANUARY 2012

Huge congratulations to all the Year 11 BTEC Dancers, who choreographed and performed a dance piece to 'You Can't Stop The Beat' from Hairspray as part of the South East Hampshire Dance Festival. The BTEC Dance students had just over three weeks to come up with the dance concept, choose music and choreograph the piece themselves. A fantastic achievement especially considering that some of the girls have never performed in front of a live audience before; they really did go 'above and beyond'.  The girls put so much effort in their own time after school into rehearsals for the dance and it really showed in the final performance.

Well done to all the dancers: Courtney Budd, Charlotte Creighton, Morgan Davies, Georgia Francis, Aimee Galmoye, Jess Gordon, Shannon Hughes,
Tia Knight, Charlotte Leggett, Sophie Miller, Megan Rapley, Mercedes Robinson,
Zoe Weston.

HELP A HERO ON VALENTINE’S DAY
Please help to support our charity!

We are a group of students in Year 9 and 10 from Warblington School and we are doing the Hospitality Diploma.  We are learning about the different sectors of hospitality like restaurants and hotels.  We are set challenges in three or four groups.  Our last challenge was to design a range of sandwiches to fit a certain lifestyle.  Our current project is called “Valentine Biscuits” and we have to make and sell biscuits to raise money for a charity of our choice.  The group making the most money wins!

Help for Heroes (H4H) is a British charity launched on 1 October 2007 to help provide better facilities for British servicemen and women wounded since 11 September 2001.  It was founded by Bryn Parry OBE and his wife Emma Parry OBE, after they visited soldiers at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham.  The charity was launched after a meeting with General Sir Richard Dannatt.  This is a short paragraph from the help for heroes website.

“It’s about the ‘blokes’, our men and women of the armed forces.  It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs.  It’s about Carl whose jaw was wired up so he has been drinking through a straw.  It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on a stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife.  It’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark.  It’s about them all.  They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes.  We want to help our heroes.”

Please help us to support our troops by buying
a Valentine Biscuit on the 8 February.

Thank you,
Daniel Smith, Year 10.

The Children's University is a national organisation that encourages, promotes and rewards children, mainly 7-14 year olds, for attending out of school hours' activities for subjects linked to a university course.  Children purchase a smart passport for £2.00 and then collect stamps for all the activities they complete.  This leads to bronze, silver and finally gold certification with a graduation ceremony held at a local university.
