Latest News from Forest Edge School
Really impressed with the attitude of our Year 9s and 10s today at the Careers Fair. It can be quite hard to think about next steps, but it was really lovely to see them engage with so many different people and potential avenues for the future.
So impressed with Year 8 and their finished lino printing. This was not an easy project and they showed great determination and resilience, with careful cutting and patience from start to finish ❤️
We have been so busy in school this week - Both sites participated in the Guinness World Record attempt for most people reading at once, Newport site researched the Japanese art of kinusaiga and then had a go themselves, and Sandown site baked cookies and made coasters 😍
This week we had a fun and informative visit from the recycling team at IW council, which we followed up with recycling crisp packets into keyrings 😍We have also been enjoying our time at Rare Breeds this half term. 🐇
Not to be left behind….. our Year 10 students used skills from their ‘Introduction to DT’ workshop to design and make a helicopter, using workshop machinery.
Our Year 7 students are settling into Forest Edge life really well - and learning lots of new skills along the way. The monster figures they made in Design/ Technology this week are so cute!!! 🥰
We have had a fantastic start to the school year. It has been great meeting our new students and getting straight in to learning and off site visits. Look at the amazing art work created by our year 7 and 8s today. The first time for digital art creation for everyone 😻We are also enjoying working together on a jigsaw 🧩
We can’t wait to see everyone when we start back on THURSDAY this week😍😊😍
What a great end to a long half term. This week we reflected on the last school year, played an escape room challenge, visited Blackgang Chine, did some team building and ended with our now traditional family BBQ. To say we are proud of our amazing students would be an understatement. It is an absolute joy to see confidence bloom, leadership emerge, smiles return and of course academic improvement. We hope everyone enjoys the Summer break and we look forward to seeing everyone back safely in September ❤️❤️
