Simon Scarrow Comes to Wellington!

In the Spring term, the world-famous author, Simon Scarrow

cam e to speak to Year 7 and primary school children about his

books.

Scarrow, a former teacher, writes books for adults and children

based upon the Romans and mythology.

As well as speaking to us about his books, he

included an amazing quiz where pupils were tested on their

Roman knowledge. The teams, pictured below, were amazing

and it was very close ; however, in the end the green team won

and had their impressive score entered into the national

competition. Hopefully, a trip to Bath may be on the cards!

Simon Scarrow kindly agreed to sign any books we wished to purchase and he was

delighted by all of the Spartacus letters we had produced for him.

We can’t wait to find out which author will be

next to visit Wellington! Inspired by 7.4b and 7.5a

The traditional act of

painting eggs is called

Pysanka.

The Egyptians were the

first people to exchange eggs.

The Americans celebrate

Easter with an Easter egg hunt

on the White House lawn.

In medieval times, a ceremony

of egg-throwing was held at

church to celebrate.

Easter is celebrated globally.

Christians believe that Easter

Sunday is the holiest day in

the year. Some people who are

not Christians celebrate it as

the beginning of Spring.

I was having lunch with my friends when one of my friends told a

joke. I laughed and Coke came flying out of my mouth and went

everywhere! Blushing' berry

One of my friends made-up a person and I believed he was real for

TWO months. He sounded really nice too!

Miss Macglinchey

Do you enjoy teaching?

Yes, I enjoy teaching people how to use the fitness

suite. This is because it is very important for people to

exercise efficiently and safely.

How long have you been teaching students?

I have been teaching students for four years now.

Club plans for this year?

I like running the fitness suite and teaching but I would

run other clubs. I rotate the clubs I run through the year.

To all those people who play basketball, after Christmas

I may be running that.

Miss McCarthy

How do you teach netball?

I give pupils a task and then ask them to com-

plete it in a certain time period. Then I ask each

group to show me their findings and we briefly

discuss the best possible ways to do the certain

task.

How do you perform in matches?

I have teams in years 7,8,9,10 and 11 who all try

very hard and put in maximum effort in all

games.

I am very proud of them.

What would you say to pupils if they were to join?

I would say to give it a go as you might enjoy it

as it is a great way to make new friends.

I would like to say goodbye

to all my students and that I

hope everyone has a good

time at Wellington. Goodbye

everyone, I will miss you all

so much! Also I would like

to welcome our newest P.E

teacher Miss Lawson! I

hope her and her P.E. Group

get on very well!
