There's an article on New Forest Paralympic Athletics, the Year 10 Army Day, Sports News, Animation Workshop and, by a Year 7 students, the 2010 Moscow Exchange. |

Students in Years 9 and 10 visited Blandford Camp for a succession of Army Days. There was an obstacle course and shooting range, tug of war, a stretecher carrying exercise, cart building, and an ingenious group activity where students had to remove a bottle from a well. Sounds easy? They were armed with only a plank, with tyres spread out across the floor (they couldn't touch the ground at all) and the 'well' was a deep tube filled with holes. Year 10 did Arnewood proud, winning the event outright, as last year's Year 10 did. Year 9 put in some excellent practice, and will be hoping to keep with tradition and win a visit from the Motorcycle Experience next year. |

The May Newsletter is out! The article on the Drama Workshops includes photos; the group shot of the French Exchange captured the cherry blossom in full bloom; there's information about the Arnewood Musicians and the 'Mission to Mars'; a full page on the New Forest Athletics Championship; Silver Surfers; an update on the PFA; and finally...

Year 9 have been studying the Holocaust in RS and History. At the end of the RS unit, students produced a personal response to the Holocaust. As always, we received a wide variety of different responses, including poems, models and multimedia presentations. You can see students' work in a Studywiz gallery, along with comments on what each piece meant to its creator, as well as other students' reactions. Have a look at one student's Holocaust video. It may take a while to download, but it is a powerful, personal and thought-provoking response that is well worth your time. |

He gives hints and tips, including breaking up the half hour into managable 10-minute chunks.

After a dinner of chicken and chips and quick stop off at the chocoloate shop, the day finished with a moving performance of the last post at the Menin Gate memorial to the 50,000 missing British soldiers killed in around Ypres. Three of our students laid a commemorative wreath to mark the occassion. The day was all the more moving as a number of students were able to pay their respects to some of their own family. |
