The History Department are running two competitions in October for students in years 9-11. The popular ‘History Haiku Challenge’ is returning during the Languages and Literature Festival in October. Last year there were some fantastic entries on a diverse range of topics. Here are two winning entries from last year’s competition:
They are changing us
Normans forcing us to build
Their castles of wood
Sian K
Waiting in the lines
Trapped by the German forces
But then came the boats
Lottie J
There is also another opportunity for Year 10 students to participate in national Smart Law Bar Mock Trial Competition. Last year the team lost by one point in their heat of the magistrates mock trial. This year, it will take place in Preston Crown Court and is a criminal case. The first meeting to prepare the case will take place next week.
