The History Department took Year 9 and Year 10   students to watch a performance of Hitler on Trial this week. Hitler on Trial is a half-day presentation focused on Germany 1919 -1939 and is designed to help students improve their performance in their History examinations.

The day opened with a grade-booster workshop. The workshop was followed by a courtroom drama, in which students are asked to imagine a parallel historical world in which Adolf Hitler was captured alive by British Special Forces in 1942 and put on trial in a British court. In this court, the students are the jury and Hitler is tried for crimes against peace. 

The students' behaviour was exemplary throughout the trip, well done Year 9 and Year 10. 

Our extra-curricular KS3 PACA showcase this week was buzzing! Musicians, artists and chefs displayed some of their fantastic work to a lot of proud parents.

The PACA showcase event was an opportunity for students to showcase work that they have produced whilst attending extra-curricular clubs in PACA.

Select students were invited to attend a Design Technology workshop where they designed and created their own keyrings using wood. Year 7 students worked hard for several weeks producing Art and Photography work in the studio, then mounting and presenting it to create their own exhibition.

Parents were invited to attend the exhibition of visual artwork, and were treated to musical performances from  students who attend music club weekly. We heard performances on the keyboard and singing!

Year 8 food club worked tirelessly on the evening batch baking cookies for all our guests to sample. It was a fantastic atmosphere and was enjoyed by all who attended.

Well done to all the staff and students involved for their hard work, and we were proud to be able to showcase the wealth of creative talent that we have here at Fullhurst. 

This week our Year 11 pupils had the opportunity to take part in a mock interview with a member of the Bibby Finance team.

This was a chance for pupils to practice their interview skills and gain feedback in preparation for their real college and apprenticeship interviews. Our visitors were very impressed by how polite and prepared our pupils were. 

Fullhurst now has its very own Tiny Forest! Student council members and Year 9 students took part in the planting of over 600 trees on a site close to the corner of Fosse Road South and Fullhurst Ave, which you can see as you drive past.

The Tiny Forest will be used by students and staff to reconnect with nature, enhance wellbeing and help mitigate the impacts of climate change whilst providing a nature-rich habitat to support urban wildlife.

It’s been a busy and festive filled end to the term with lots of extra curricular activities taking place across the school.

Year 7, Year 8, DSP and Leaning Centre students took to the ice for their rewards trip to the Jubilee Square Ice Rink. Students showed determination to learn a new skill and helped their friends stay up right as they went around the rink! Last week, our Year 7 students got to see The Wizard of Oz at the Curve Theatre for a Drama trip and KS3 had lots of fun watching the panto Snow White in school. Oh no they didn’t...oh yes they did!!

This week, our Christmas Jumper Day raised lots of money for Save the Children and students enjoyed a traditional Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings.
