A Night at the Races
Following a 60 minute challenging and strenuous
physical assessment, the pictured students
successfully completed the eight week ‘Right Stuff’
boxing programme.
Throughout the assessment all students worked hard
and remembered the moves, strategies and skills that
they had been taught during the course. In the
summer term the girls will be continuing the
programme to enhance their existing skills.
Aiming High Academy student Harry Needham (7KLLc) recently
came third in a local archery competition.
The Under 16s Hunting Tackle competition was Harry’s
first competitive encounter and involved shooting at
3D objects.
Harry has been practising
archery at the Clayton
Woodsman Club, Lyme
Valley for the last two years
and we congratulate him on
his bronze medal.
YEAR 7:
Nicole Wetton;
Caitlin Ashton;

On the way to ‘Black’
‘Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in and day
out.’ Robert Collier (American Publisher 1876 - 1918)
Congratulations to Ashley Smith (8EDDp) who
has recently gained his ‘First Red-Black Belt’ in
Korean Martial Arts - just one belt away from
Black!
Ashley, who attends the
martial arts club at
Packmoor Scouts Hut on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Sundays, is now hoping to
gain his black belt by the
end of the year.
Winning Ways
On Thursday 20th March 2014 the GCSE Hospitality &
Catering group visited Wheelock Hall, an organic farm near
Crewe.
During the visit the students
gained a vast amount of
knowledge about food nutrition
and production. On their way
back to the academy they also
called in at Waitrose in Sandbach
to look at the Fiona Cairns and
Patisserie Valerie displays to help
provide inspirational ideas for their
project work!
A short tale called ‘The Hitchhiker’ by Roald Dahl was read
in instalments by teachers throughout World Book Day and
students had to answer questions related to it in order to
win a prize. The winner, Nikita
Hancock (9NAWP) pictured here
said, ‘I liked the story that was read.
I think that it was a good idea
because it might encourage
students to read the book the story
came from.’
During National Storytelling Week, in
order to win a prize students were
challenged to write a short story of their own consisting of
no more than 365 words. The competition winners, Holly
Condliffe (AJHc) and Thomas Turrell (KLLc) both in Year 7
and Emily Tinsley (CWVp) of Year 8, received a sweet treat
(an Easter egg) and a book as a prize.

Maths Puzzle The answer to last week’s puzzle was FIVE . Well done to
Holly Condliffe who has won 50 VIVO Miles. Here’s this
week’s puzzle:
An old Mathematics book contained this
addition sum which had been marked
correct by the teacher.
The three squares in the diagram are where
the paper was so bad I couldn't read them.
What were the three missing numbers?
Email your answer, with the subject line: Weekly Maths
