Newsletter 25:5 2018 3rd March 2017 STANDING OUT THE MAGAZINE FOR MOUNTS BAY ACADEMY Photo: Mr Raggett Cover: Orienteering 25th May 2018 PRINCIPAL’S REPORT It’s in our DNA... I’m often asked by visitors when they come to the Academy, why do you think that your students seem to be such well balanced, confident and gregarious individuals compared to their counterparts in some areas of the country? The answer of course is due to many factors, firstly we live and work in one of the most beautiful places in the UK with its own unique history and culture. At Mounts Bay we then give all of our students the learning, personal mentoring and skills to enable them to use their time with us to the best of their advantage with the aim of making them “the best that they can be”. When you examine this more closely it is through a combination of the attributes we were born with and our learning experiences that result in our success. As we are in the throws of the GCSE examination timetable, I have been observing some of the work we are doing in our revision sessions and in Science they have been looking at what makes things the way they are. A fundamental element of this is DNA, or a set of instructions in each cell that tells it what it needs to do to grow and fulfil its function successfully. So the key to our success is that it’s already “in our DNA”, we just need to use the talents we were born with and follow the “instructions” in our Mounts Bay DNA. To coincide with half term next week, we have also been working with the RNLI to raise awareness of the role they play and how we can enjoy the amazing place that we live in safely. Here in the Academy we raised funds through one of our ever popular non-uniform days and I was really pleased to be able to meet with Carly Byrne and Louisa Nowell, mum of Jack and Frankie Nowell. They successfully ran the London Marathon recently and are raising funds via a JustGiving page. If you would like to help them reach their £4,600 target then please visit their page here: Marathon Success https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/louisa-nowell1 Of course sometimes it is useful to see what happens if you interpret the “instructions” in our DNA a different way and yesterday was a great example of this. Our canteen staff broke with tradition and organised a fantastic “street food” event, which consisted of an amazing array of tasty fresh food, simply cooked and served. Everyone that tucked in agreed that this was a great way to not just have great tasting food but to eat healthily too. Finally I would also like to remind our Year 11 students that, as you can see from the timetable later on in the newsletter, the Academy will be open almost every day offering a vast array of support sessions to help them prepare for their exams in the most effective way. Not Just For The Street Have a great half-term. Best wishes Les Hall Academy Principal DABE VINCI YOUR PROGRAMME BEST REAL Project Students were asked to research a painting linked to their project. Isla made a booklet with a decoupage cover. She took the project much deeper than was expected. She chose a painting by John Nash and reflected on what it was showing, including the way it made her feel and also the palette the artist chose. Report by: EXCELLENCE REWARD Collaborative Learning This week we have been concentrating on collaborative learning across the Academy. Collaboration helps the students to develop higher-level thinking, oral communication, self-management, and leadership skills. It also promotes student interaction and self- esteem. Here you can see some of the examples from across the Academy this week. Students in 7 Cool have been using collaborate learning to help improve their Travel Guides. In pairs they have been sharing facts and information about different countries across the world to help build their guides. Students also read their recommendations to their groups to see who was most persuasive! During REAL Projects this week, Year 7 students worked collaboratively to investigate diverse Art movements. They compared the stylistic qualities of the genres through reflecting on the handing of the formal elements. They then applied their reflections to a series of outcomes. Year 7 produced fantastic work as a result of their research and group analysis of the work of artists significant to specific movements. Year 9 were treated to some 'hands-on' history by SCITT student Miss Weeks. Using a range of artefacts the students worked in collaborative groups to investigate them, research their significance and consider how they could empathise with the experience of evacuees and those on the wider Home Front. Thanks to the Royal Cornwall Museum for their loan of the artefact box. Mr Yeates' Year 10 English class have been collaborating to consider the differences between what the French Semiotician Roland Barthes called "readerly" texts (can only be “read” one way) and "writerly" texts (open to interpretation). BE INSPIRED World Challenge India Trip Fundraiser On Sunday 20th May, six students participated in the St Michael's Way Challenge in order to raise money for both the Mounts Bay Rotary Club and for their World Challenge expedition to India next year. The students were challenged with hiking twelve miles from St Uny Church, Lelant on the north coast of Cornwall down to Marazion on the south coast. Before the event, students pursued their friends, family members and teachers for sponsorship and collected a combined total of over £600 which will be put towards their funds required to go on their World Challenge Expedition in July 2019. Needless to say, the team completed the event in good time thanks to the fantastic weather over the weekend. Well done everyone! A special thanks goes out to Mr Helliwell who offered his time and support alongside Mr Lane, who walked with the team throughout the challenge. BE ADVENTUROUS Adventure Challenge We have had a great week with all things adventurous at the Academy. 9 Green are taking their turn on the Adventure Challenge and were orienteering and abseiling at Sennen Cove. As the summer season arrives there are more and more visitors watching in awe as the students launch themselves down the cliffs. Adventure Society The Adventure Society had a fun afternoon on Thursday at Carn Kenidjack near Carnyorth. They will be assisting with the Trythall School camp after half term. We planned some activities that we will be doing with the students and we got a chance to do some bouldering (low level climbing) on the rocks. There will be a zip wire, climbing, orienteering and campcraft activities. More to follow in the next issue. Report by: Mr Raggett BE ENTERTAINED Book Review Stewart loves maths and doing Lego without instructions. He loves his family: himself, mum, dad. They're an equilateral triangle - although, ideally, a sister would square the triangle. Then his Mum dies. Their triangle collapses. Ashley loves clothes, reality TV. She dreams about conquering school's social ladder and dating gorgeous Jared. No-one can know her parents divorced because her dad's gay. Nor can they know that a freakazoid like Stewart is now her brother after their parents get together. They become uneasy, mismatched siblings. Stewart later discovers Jared intends Ashley harm - what should he do? Intellectually high-functioning, socially floundering Stewart; socially superior, painfully insecure Ashley. Their utterly distinctive and compelling voices alternate as they negotiate painful, difficult relationships in this intelligent, moving novel about two imploded families forging themselves a new shape. If you like the sound of ‘We are All Made of Molecules’, then come and borrow a copy from our library. I have six new copies on the shelves. Word Millionaires Our most recent Word Millionaires are Gwendoline Skelly of 7 Blue and Emily Payne of 7 Yellow. Between them, the girls have read forty-seven books to date. Emily has enjoyed many of the Jacqueline Wilson Hetty Feather series and has a fantastic success rate of 96% on all the accelerated reader quizzes she has taken. Gwendoline has just finished Twighlight by Stephenie Meyer, the first book in a series of four vampire themed novels. Gwendoline has a fantastic success rate of 95% overall.

Come and visit the Business and Enterprise stand in ROOM 16 on Options Evening (Thursday 7th June) and be in with the chance of winning this wonderful box of cupcakes from Lucy Bakes. Report by: Miss Walters BE CREATIVE Taiko Trip Last week on Thursday evening the Mounts Bay Academy Taiko drumming group headed to the Hall for Cornwall to watch the Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers. Mugenkyo are the UK’s oldest established Taiko group, and Europes only professional touring company. They are based in Scotland, regularly go to train with Taiko masters in Japan, tour all over the World and run regular workshops at their Dojo. The performance started with some amazing more traditional Taiko drumming, featuring a range of drums, virtuoso performances from the individual drummers and some amazing group work. What made the night stand however was the development of a real theatrical set. There were performances with UV lighting and special masks and stage clothes to stand out in the dark, comedy pieces including a piece where the drummers were dressed as council workers in high visibility jackets, poetry, and some amazing Japanese flute playing.

  • NEWSLETTER 135 June 2014 Registered Charity No
    Registered Charity No. 105565 NEWSLETTER 135 June 2014 Registered Charity No. 1055654 CAS AGM 2014 – PRESIDENT’S REPORT by Prof Valerie Maxfield. This report, despite being termed ‘The President’s Report’, is in reality a report on the work of the whole committee and it aims to include a representative look at our work in an active year when much has been achieved. Last year I started with the report of a happy event, the award of the RAI Anniversary Prize, in the form of a glass plaque which has been displayed in the Royal Cornwall Museum. On a sad note, we lost one of our most well-known members, in the person of Mick Aston, of ‘Time Team’ Fame. Mick was a respected academic archaeologist, tutor in Adult Education and professor of Archaeology at Bristol University. But he wore his scholarship lightly; he had a light touch which allowed him, and his trademark stripy jumpers, to attract a very considerable popular following. Following his retirement, Mick was moving down to Cornwall and we were looking forward to his increasing participation in the archaeology of the County. But he died suddenly in June last year. CAS has been named as a beneficiary in his will – no details as yet. Your committee will, in due course, report on an appropriate use to which this money will be put. MEMBERSHIP: Our membership secretary, Jenny Beale, reports a small decline in membership since this time last year. There are 438 individual/joint members currently on our books; 53 of these had not (as of April 9) renewed their subscriptions; letters of reminder have been sent so this number should be reducing.

  • Tam Kernewek Is Published Four Times a Year
    Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 31 Issue 4 Winter 2013 Milwaukee Festival Brass Great Britain is the motherland for brass banding. Although the claim of England to be the birthplace of brass bands cannot be denied, brass bands have long been at the heart of every Cor- nish community and continue to be so to this day. The popularity of traditional English brass bands spread to America as well as Australia, New Zealand, Japan and many European countries. Such bands are one of the world’s most wide spread forms of music performance. The unique sound of the brass band sets it apart from other performing ensembles which use brass instruments. The brass band has a mellower and richer sound featuring cornets instead of trumpets, E-flat tenor horns instead of French horns and English bore baritone horns. The num- ber of members (instrumentation) is rigid, usually limited to between twenty-eight and thirty players, but the repertoire is unusually flexible. With the exception of the trombones, all instruments are con- ical in design, producing a mellower, richer sound, yet one that has wide dynamic and coloristic vari- ety. The Milwaukee Festival Brass, founded as the Milwaukee British Brass Band in 1985, is ded- icated to developing and maintaining the highest possible musical quality. It is a 30-35 piece all brass ensemble using the traditional brass band sound and formation. The voluntary membership consists of performers drawn from the ranks of the area’s most capable brass and percussion play- ers, teachers and students who rehearse and perform in their leisure time.
