For 16 years now, World Maths Day has united students across the globe in a celebration of learning! On 8th March, Students across the globe competed against each other celebrating mathematics. Rosedale College took part in celebrating numbers and the maths lessons were buzzing on the day in IT rooms, where the students were so exited competing against students across the globe.
Students from Years 7 and 8 had the pleasure of watching a live performance of Macbeth as part of their English studies. This production was even more enjoyable because the actors engaged students by involving them all throughout the performance.
Key Stage Three students spent the day researching engag- ing children’s books. Students then wrote stories with a clear progressive message for an allocated target audience then spent time making them engaging and kinaesthetic. Stu- dents created some fabulous illustrations that were of very high quality. The concept of writing with a target audience in mind is a skill, which they will continue to enhance through not only secondary school and university but also when they get jobs. Staff and students relished the opportunity to show- case their final products.
Rosedale College student council leaders attended the Trust’s inaugural Council Summit on Monday 27th February, where council leaders from the Trust’s seven primary schools and secondary colleges came together. Collectively, our young leaders explored topics such as inclusivity, sustainability, ways of being heard, and tackling bullying. Leaders were able to take part in team building exercises, learn how to plan events, and shared their best ideas both at primary and secondary levels. Thank you so much to the staff who facilitated this event, especially Miss Page and Miss Morgan, who shared their experience of being school leaders when they were students themselves, and how that role prepared them for their adult lives. Well done to our council leaders, who were excellent ambassadors for the College.

The day will involve all Year 8 students participating in a range of activities that will assist them in making an informed decision about their GCSE options. We will have visitors from the Education Development Trust to conduct a session with all students on how to go about choosing GCSE options. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions within a small setting so that they can be best equip to make the best decisions in terms of the GCSE subjects they wish to study.
All Year 8 students and their parent, guardian or carer are invited to attend an evening presentation at Rosedale College. The evening presentation is in addition to the information your child has received through the Options Assemblies, as well as the activities they will carry out during Options Day. During the course of the evening, all Year 8 students as well as their parents, guardians or carer will be able to speak to staff about the variety of GCSE options available. Each subject area will have a display board set up in the canteen containing all the relevant information needed for them to make an informed decision about their future. There will also be a presentation in the main Hall explaining to parents, guardians and carers the process of choosing Options and how the Key Stage 4 day is structured.
The evening will start promptly at 5:30pm and staff will be available until 7:00pm. In order to facilitate the organisation of the evening careful consideration has been given to the direct impact that Options Day will have on lessons throughout the day. As such, it has been decided that all Year 8 students will be dismissed from College at 2:30pm. The rest of the students will finish at the normal time of 4:00pm. On Wednesday 1st March, all lessons will resume at the normal time of 8:45am.

What an exciting day it has been for 60 of our Year 7 students! On the 24th January, they took part in a STEM workshop provided by the companies HS2 and Learn by Design, through EDT (The Education Development Trust).
The workshop has been designed to inspire future engineers to become EPIC - Extraordinary People Initiating Change - and showcases the creative, technology-driven solutions used in rail and infrastructure industries.
This term all our Year 7 students in French have been pre- paring enthusiastically for their class French spelling bee competition. All our students needed to learn 50 words and more importantly spell and pronounce them from memory using the French alphabet.
The competition was fierce and the students selected for the semi-finals were all keen and competent linguists.
We are pleased to announce that the winner of the French spelling bee this half term was Ahsab Huthaiba in 7M. He was able to spell from memory 19 words in one minute.
We also need to congratulate for following students, Arshia Anjum 7L, Avleen Hothi 7M, Amreen Kohar 7L, and Kayden Bryan 7L who followed closely behind with 18-14 words spelt in one minute. We very much look forward to witnessing the next final at the end of the Spring term.
