Dear Parents and Carers

We are so impressed with our students and all they have achieved this half-term. It has been a challenge for all but our students have really shown how they can rise to that challenge with guidance from their teachers and your constant support.

Please do look at our Discovery Bulletin (available on the website) which gives a flavour of the activities that have been happening this half-term.

You will find some useful information and wellbeing guidance and support available in the Covid & Remote Learning section of the website – https://bourne.org.uk/bourne/covid-remote-learning/

A few activities for you all to be aware of –

  • Mr Colley and the Year 8 students attending school are taking part in the JDRF 100 Challenge (A charity looking for a T1 Diabetes cure) and aim to do 100,000 steps every day during February with a goal of 5,000,000 by 28 February. Please see the link below for more information and any donations would be hugely welcome –

  • The PE Team have also put up many fitness videos for all to take part in
  • Friday 12 February Wellbeing Day with a half day of no technology. The staff have put up activities for Friday on the website, so if you and your child/children want to do some of them please do join in. The plan is for no screen time for this afternoon and to give all a chance just to do something different.
  • Please do look at the website for our ‘Ditch the Screens!’ ideas – https://bourne.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/Ditch-the-Screens.pdf
  • Students attending school on Friday 12 February, please come wearing your PE kit.

We wish you all fun on this day and/or time to relax together.

As soon as we know any more about the school reopening, we will let you know in the usual way via InTouch and the school website.

With thanks to you all for your continued support and wishing you a restful half-term break.

Year 11 Geography students worked extremely well on their revision. Students worked in pairs and had 10 minuets to summarize two contrasting case studies on The Outer Hebrides and South Cambridgeshire. The quality and knowledge shown in their work really impressed us. Well done year 11!

We are delighted to share some exciting news from the classroom! Our Year 7 students have been hard at work this term, delving into the fascinating world of myths and legends. As part of their studies, they have been tasked with creating their own mythical monsters—a journey that has spurred their imaginations and artistic talents.

First, the students planned and described their abominable creations in vivid detail. Their creativity and storytelling skills truly shone as they brought these mythical beings to life on paper. Next, they turned their drawings into digital art by using AI, transforming their blood-curdling concepts into striking visual masterpieces.

We are incredibly proud of the effort and dedication our Year 7 students have shown. Their work has been nothing short of spectacular, and we are thrilled to celebrate their achievements with you.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement.

Warm regards,

Mr Tom Butler and the English Team

Year 10 Geography and Triple Science students had the opportunity to be part of a special cross-curricular enrichment activity. The event was lead by Scientist Dr. Leigh Hickmott, world leading expert in Pack-Ice Killer whales. He visited us at the Bourne to deliver a talk about his recent BBC programme, 'Expedition Killer Whale' and elevated students' knowledge of Antarctica's ecosystems. The students fully immersed themselves into the presentation and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. On behalf of The Bourne Community College, we would like to thank @leighhickmott for his visit and will be looking forward to seeing more of his amazing work.

Please check out Leigh Hickmott recent BBC program:
