Dear Parents and Carers

Re:  Year 8 students into Year 9 September 2021

We are reviewing our plans for our Curriculum for September 2021 to ensure all students can have an increased choice of their favourite creative and/or practical subjects in Year 9.  It will also allow them to build on their skills base for these subjects which will then better prepare them for Years 10 and 11.

Our plan is to give students mini-options, with the choice of doing 3 of the following 6 subjects –

Art, Computer Science, Drama, Food Technology, Music and Product Design

They will choose 3 from this list, with 2 reserves and concentrate on these in Year 9, along with their core subjects, instead of doing all 6 subjects on a rotation.

We are asking you to complete the document attached in the link below, having first looked at the Year 9 subject overview and discussed it with your son/daughter –

https://forms.gle/xeqUWccPY4BCtCm17

Please could you complete the form by Friday 26 March 2021.

At this early stage we obviously cannot guarantee your first 3 choices.

This will not effect the GCSE Pathways process in any way, so all subjects will remain open to all students.

Kind regards

Yvonne Watkins

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.

Year 8 are currently studying Cubism, learning about this style of art and through this project, they are continuing to develop their drawing skills. Photos show work from a lesson drawing paper cups, using parallel lines and ellipses to guide shape, adding shading with smudge sticks. Photos show some of examples of the work from our fabulous year 8 students!
