Just 4 weeks into the new academic year and we have already recorded a number of impressive results.
Our Y7, Y8, Y10, Y11 and 6th form boys football teams have progressed into round 2 of the English Schools competition.
Progress has also been made by our Y10 team in the South Yorkshire Cup.
The Y10 and Y11 rugby teams both finished 3rd in the South Yorkshire cup competitions which means they just miss out on a place in the Yorkshire Cup. This should be improved by our Y9 team tomorrow!!
With a lot more fixtures to come over the next few weeks we look forward to continued success.

In light of clarification regarding the rules about food and ICT rooms, I have decided to move the Game Builders’ Club to CA1 on Thursday Lunchtimes.
This places the club closer to the lower school dining hall, so you will not have as far to walk after finishing your lunch.
Also, I have had to change all of the GBC user passwords so that I can remember them all. This will allow me to log you in before you arrive, so that you can start work on your games as soon as you get in.
I apologise for the lack of a session this week. I will ensure the computers in CA1 are in working order over the half term holiday.

We’ve had 4 completely successful attempts at fixing broken software clocks, 2 partially successful attempts, and 1 incomplete attempt. But it’s still early days, and there are bound to be a few coding errors.
Next time, the club members will start to import their graphics into their newly fixed clocks.

There has been quite an enthusiastic response to the clock challenge, with themes including dogs, dinosaurs, elements, gothic, engines, and the highly unconventional reverse clock.
By this time next week, there should be some interesting design images available.

Five-and-a-half weeks is a long time to spend not using skills, so in order to refresh our knowledge of Fireworks 8 and Flash 8 software, the Game Builders’ Club will be building interactive clocks.
Will they be simple, plain designs, or will they be bold and distinct? We will have to wait and see what ideas the club members come up with.

The 2010-11 round of the Game Builders’ Club has kicked off. We have six pupils signed up, but you will have to wait and see what they’ll make this time round.
