Year 9 & 10 Netballers work hard Following a slow start to the season both Year 9 & 10's netball teams have been working extra hard at training to see how they can improve their game. Training mondays and thursdays on some weeks is beginning to pay off, and despite a loss this week, the improvements are fantastic to see. Within the 1st 30 seconds of the year 10 game, Henley Bank High School got ahead with their first goal from Wiggall. A highly contested game saw them then struggle to get the ball to both Brinkman and Wiggall for a shot to be taken. Beaufort defence, in particular the GK made it hard for a good ball to make it into the circle. However, we didn't capitalize during this quarter to secure the goals and the first quarter ended 1-3. The girls really settled in the second quarter and despite no goals, they held the game to 1-3 after the next 10 minutes. Great defence from Rokoua, Russell and Ryland during this spell. Beaufort got ahead 1-6 in the third quarter with easy mistakes, too much footwork and a lack of shooting opportunities not falling to Henley Bank. Time for some radical changes to take place. Russell moved from GK to GA, and immediately had an impact taking the next goal, with Wiggall now at WD, the contest for the ball was high and Henley Bank had more ball and were able to feed the shooters a little easier. A great defensive line with Dzendrowska turning over ball and the girls really found their feet. A little too late and lots of lessons learnt for next time, but bringing the result to 4-7 in the last quarter was amazing and just proved that if they could be consistent, the win will come. Year 9 had a topsy turvy game with it going goal to goal for much of the game. Whilst unable to see the full extend of the game to come home only down 16-22 was a huge performance and with some changes in positioning, they are now starting to work well as a team. Lots of matches to come after half term, fingers crossed this doesn't disrupt the flow of good play they are demonstrating at the moment. Players of the match to both Kula Rokoua ( 2 matches running) and Tabby Kirby

Identity collaboration project Our year 7 art club and year 9 Art students at Henley Bank High School have been busy producing some self-portrait and identity postcards to be included in a worldwide collaboration exhibition that is due to be shown at the Gatton Hall at Royal Alexandra and Albert school in Surrey. The project involved students producing a postcard showing their own identity which was then posted off to a partner school and swapping their creations with students they've never met. Our partner school is the Three Rivers academy in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey. Schools from Devon, Leeds, Sheffield, Surrey and as far as Gympie (in Australia) and Bangkok are involved. As soon as we have confirmation of the exhibition date, due to be held in February, we will let you know.

December has been a busy month here at Henley Bank High School. We started the month by creating Christmas decorations for the St George's Christmas Tree Festival. We helped St George celebrate in style by taking our new small, but powerful school choir to sing on the final Saturday night of the festival. The girls sang beautifully, being described as 'angels'. 2 part harmony with only 2 weeks of rehearsals, great work girls!
