Drumming Workshops with Richard Jupp Last week budding drummers were asked to ‘audition’ to take part in a

masterclass with former Elbow drummer Richard Jupp. On Monday 7th

November the shortlisted students had the opportunity to be mentored

by Rick in an hour long workshop.

The pupils had varying degrees of drumming experience and spent their

time improving skills they already had whilst ‘feeling’ the music and

‘getting into a groove’. The whole point of the day was to teach the kids

discipline and generally have fun. ‘Rick’s a legend when is he

coming back’ was one of the comments from Tyler. Truly

inspirational, Rick had a great rapport with the kids and explained

he was a normal lad with a love for drumming who formed a band

with his mates at 18….the rest they say is history as the band went

on to become Elbow.

A keen drummer himself big thanks goes out to Mr Mellen for

helping to arrange the session. Keep an eye on our the website

and social media pages as I’m sure we’ll be inviting Rick back for

future masterclasses.

Peppered Moth Project Message from TCH;

Year 7 have been busy recently creating an

installation for the ‘Change’ project in

conjunction with Stanley Grove Primary

School. Students were shown a brief in form

time to explain the theme around the

project, which was based upon the

resilience of the Peppered Moth in the

18oo’s when pollution forced them to adapt

to their environment.

Students created three moths each from

templates, and then attached magnets to

them to enable them to be placed on a chosen

metallic surface.

We chose to place the moths on the ceiling area

on Main Street at Cedar Mount so everybody

can see them.

Year 10 Football

Message from MRO:

The year 10 football team played away at Manchester Academy last night.

The lads played exceptionally well and we came away with a 4 nil win. Callum on target

again scored two giving him ten goals in 4 games!!

Please congratulate the lads if you see them around the academy.

Message from EAL; what a team! Congratulations once more.

Message from PME; well done Year 10 and coaches

Message from JAN; MRO – they are going from strength to strength. A

great result and well done to all.

Humanities Trip to Manchester University LMO and RPE took 10 students to Manchester University for the day to take part in an event for the

Festival of Social Science. The day was aimed at college students but our pupils, in Year 8-10,

more than held their own in competition with them.

The students were split in to six groups and given data to present back. Our boys came second

out of six, which is obviously a fantastic achievement, given the difference in age. The lecturers

who were running the day couldn’t stop singing the praises of all of our students. You would have

been incredibly proud if you had seen how they performed and how they conducted themselves.

For more pictures/videos see @CMAHumanities on Twitter.

Remembrance Day Armistice Day is on 11 November. It's also known as

Remembrance Day. A two minute silence is observed

at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month because

this is when World War I, or the Great War, ended in

1918. But now, this anniversary is used to remember all

the people who've died in wars since World War I.

The second Sunday day of November is

Remembrance Sunday. At 11am men, women and

children all across Britain hold a two minute silence to

remember the millions who have died in war.

The silence is usually observed at war memorials, cenotaphs,

religious services and shopping centres throughout the

country.

The Royal Family, along with top politicians and religious

leaders, gather at The Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, for a

service.

Also every evening since 1928 the Last Post has been played

under the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres, Belgium at 8pm to

pay respects to those who lost their lives in World War I.

In September two of our students visited to lay a wreath

on behalf of Cedar Mount Academy and pay their

respects.

National News Message from Mentorn Media;

I work at Mentorn Media, a production company in London. We are currently trying to find some

families who might be interested in appearing on our new Channel 4 Documentary.

Mentorn Media and are casting for a new documentary for Channel 4 about UK families and households with different

choices and decisions towards budgeting and lifestyle. For the main part of the documentary we will be looking at

opposing families, one who prefers to spend their hard earned wages, whilst the other prefers to save every penny. The

families will swap homes and budgets for a few days - we’re hoping the families will learn from each other and

we'll discover how exactly our spending/saving effects our lives.

Essentially we want to look into how spending and lifestyle choices differ from family to family. The idea is that the

show will provide a positive and fresh insight into how we choose to spend our wages and answer some of our most

burning questions: Where does our money go? How can people afford to live a certain way? Can we improve in any

way?

Many thanks,

Rhiannon Lucas
