ISSUE 185 17th September 2021

We were very excited this week to see the return of Year 7 Resilience Camp. The time had come for our new

cohort to embark on their resilience adventure, as well as being an opportunity for them to bond as a year group.

Despite it being very wet on Tuesday, when we arrived at school on Wednesday morning the sky was clear, the

forecast was looking good and our spirits were high, and despite a few nerves about staying away from home

students were excited to get going.

Carrying all their belongings students boarded the walking bus and began their journey from BBG to Fanwoods.

On completing the first challenge and arriving at camp, students were very excited and ready for their second

challenge of putting up their tents and creating a home for the next three days. They followed instructions

perfectly and embraced the challenge of putting up their tent and in no time our location had gone from an empty

field to a little camping community. Although things did not go smoothly for some groups, all students

persevered, demonstrating great cognitive resilience. Students were incredibly supportive of each other, not

only working effectively as a tent group but also offering a helping hand to those that were struggling once their

tents were up. Great friendships were already starting to blossom.

Students were divided in to 17 groups, with which they completed a combination of the following activities; axe

throwing, rifle shooting, bouldering, team building, grass sledging, archery tag, indoor cave, low ropes, night line,

crate stacking, archery and photo orienteering. Each one was designed to challenge students in various ways,

allowing them to make new friends and find out new things about themselves. Throughout the activities

students demonstrated real team spirit, from supporting those who were struggling to celebrating with each other

when success was achieved. On many occasions we saw students supporting each other and giving expert

advice to help improve performance and increase the chances of success. Students have been a credit to us

and most importantly a credit to themselves. They have made us proud! An exceptional level of camaraderie

and resilience was always evident, and we would like to say a huge “Well Done” to the whole year group.

BBG Salt Market

Year 8 and Year 9 took part in a

production and manufacturing

enterprise task which tested

their chemistry skills, quality

control and business skills.

Teams were tasked with

purifying rock salt an selling at

the best price. Profits could be

reinvested in raw materials and

more production materials.

Drugs workshop delivered by the Base

The Base, a free and confidential drug and alcohol service for

under 21s in Kirklees, led sessions on harm reduction- how to

keep young people safe. Students were told all about the different

categories of drugs and the effects that these drugs have on the

body, on mental health and daily life. Students learnt about

common misconceptions in a true/false activity, shared what they

knew already and learnt an awful lot about how to keep

themselves and others safe

Department for Work and Pensions

Really good advice from Steve about selling

yourself in a interview so you can be the best

version of yourself. He reminded students to

always explain your answers with examples

and smile as first impression counts. He also

highlighted listening as a key skill and asked

students to ask other people why they think

their strengths are. Pupils loved discussing

brands although many didn’t know what

exactly Blockbuster video was!

Sgt Eccles from the RAF

presented to Year 10 students

about all of the opportunities

available to school leavers.

Yorkshire Building Society – interview

skills

Students were given advice on how to

prepare and conduct themselves during

an interview. This began with how to make

a good first impression with a firm

handshake. Following this they

progressed to cover the types of questions

they may get asked and how to answer

them, the different types of interviews they

may face and what to expect after their

interview has taken place.

BBG Festival Maths - Planning a Festival

Students were asked to design a budget for a festival. They had to take

into account how to generate revenue whilst balancing outgoings. They

considered the cost of booking acts, essential spending and where

profit – if any – will come from. Once they decided on their budget and

their essential and non-essential elements of their festival, they then

had to design the layout.

It’s great to be able to share with you news of some sporting success with a difference. Isla Boocock (Y10), Neve

Brier (Y11) and Adam Boocock (Y8) have qualified to take part in the Flyball competition at Crufts 2022.

You could be forgiven for not having heard of Flyball, but Isla, Neve and Adam have been taking part in the sport

with their gorgeous pet dogs for a number of years. They compete for a local team, but for the Crufts qualifiers

joined up with young members of other northern teams to form The Northern Younguns.

There are 6 two-legged members in a flyball team, along with

four four-legged friends. Isla takes part with her border collie,

Connie, who is 4 years old, and Neve runs with her Labrador

Mabel, who is a youngster at just 2. The other two human

members of the team are the ball collector and the box loader.

Adam is the team’s ball collector.

In flyball each dog runs over a course with four jumps, then

jumps onto a box with all four paws. The box releases a ball,

which the dog catches in its mouth and then runs back over the

same four jumps. It is run in relay form, with the first and last

runners being the best dogs. Isla’s dog runs first and Neve’s

runs last in their team.

The team will take part in the Young Kennel Club competition at

Crufts in March 2022, against 4 other teams from all over the

country. Having seen footage of them and their dogs in action,

we are sure that they will be awesome!!

Now, anyone fancy a school trip?!?

Lily Trotter in Year 11 has recently been selected for the Yorkshire Centre of Excellence for rugby – not only that,

but she has been selected for the U18 squad at just 15 years of age! Lily has been a brilliant sports woman

during her time at BBG, representing the school on numerous occasions, and she has also been a key member

of her year group's Netball Academy. We asked Lily a couple of questions about her road to the Yorkshire

Centre of Excellence.

What age did you start playing rugby?

I started playing rugby at 7 years old.

Who do you play for?

I play for Cleckheaton RUFC.

What is the programme you are now a part of, and what

did you have to do for trials?

I now play for the Yorkshire Centre of Excellence. At the

trials there were 5 stations we had to complete, these

included stretching, one-on-one tackling, rugby netball,

touch rugby, and touch rugby with rucking.

How often do you train and where?

I play most Saturdays at Bishop Burton College and every

other Wednesday at various clubs around Yorkshire.

What position do you play?

I play fly half which is number 10 – I am the person who

kicks and decides where the ball goes within the backs.

What inspired you to get into rugby?

My dad got me into rugby when I was little but never forced me to play past my first season. I just began loving it

more and more every time I played.

What are your rugby goals/aspirations?

My goals for the future are to eventually play for England.

We are unbelievably proud of Lily, she is a very dedicated individual whose hard work has clearly paid off! We

can't wait to see how you get on!

On Saturday, four BBG girls travelled to Bradford College to trial for the West Yorkshire netball squad. The girls

involved were Year 10 pupil Amelia Lavin, Year 9 pupils Aoife Sugden and Lydia Holdsworth, and Maisy Austin,

who only joined BBG in Year 7 this September! The trials were a full day and consisted of skills and drills in the

morning followed by match play in the afternoon.

Lydia is a fantastic netballer who has been playing for three years. Her main position is Goal Attack and she is

a key member of both her school team and her club, Birkenshaw Bells. Back in Year 7, Lydia successfully

trialed for the Bradford District squad and attended training every fortnight with specialist coaches, during which

she was one of a handful picked out to represent her County in a tournament at the end of the season.

Aoife started playing netball when she came to BBG and has since joined Whitcliffe Warriors Netball Club. Aoife

plays mainly in defense and has improved massively during her two years here. She has become an integral

part of her year group's netball academy and is always keeping the girls entertained! Aoife hopes to carry on

improving her skills, and go on to represent her County.

Year 10 pupil Amelia has been playing netball for a number of years, and is also a member of Birkenshaw Bells.

She regularly represents her own year group as well as stepping up to play for older years when needed. She is

a very reliable and calm player on court, which spreads throughout the team. Whilst Amelia's main position is

GA, she is very versatile and can play anywhere she is needed to help the team out.

Maisy only began her netball journey a year ago, but is already making it to County trials – which is an incredible

achievement at such a young age! In the last year she has also joined Birkenshaw Bells, working hard on

developing her skills. She is a very happy and positive member of Team BBG already and we can't wait to see

how she gets on!

We are so proud of all the girls, being selected for trials is an amazing achievement, well done!

Tomi Solomon was a young aspiring football player that attended

Brighouse High School. Tomi unfortunately lost his life during the

holidays. Brighouse Town the team he supported and Bradford City,

the team he played for wanted to host a game in his memory.

On Wednesday 15th September 2021 Brighouse Town U14’s hosted

Bradford City U14’s academy in the memorial/ celebration game in

honour of Tomi Solomon at the Yorkshire Payment Stadium. Over 400

people attended the game and raised over £800.

Two BBG students represented each team on the night. Harry Swain

played in Midfield for Bradford City and Oliver Farrar represented

Brighouse Town.

At the half the score stood at 0-0 with Oli Farrar making some

impressive saves to keep Bradford at bay. Harry gave way to a

substitute at half time but later would come back on the pitch with 10

minutes to go.

During the second half Bradford seemed to step their game up and

assert their dominance over Brighouse. When the full-time whistle blew

Bradford had scored 7 goals however Oliver Farrar was named Man of

the Match which just shows how many impressive saves he made

throughout the game and without him the score would have been

much higher.

Congratulations to Caelan-Cole Cadamarteri of Year 7

has been selected to represent Bradford in the District

Schools Football this season. Caelan is a talented

young footballer, who also plays for the Sheffield

Wednesday Academy, and aspires to follow in the

footsteps of his dad and older brother.

Well done Caelan, and all the best for the new season.

Matthew Addison (7.1) and Georgia Bolton (7.2) spent a week of their

summer holidays learning how to sail at the Green Withens Watersport

Centre in Ripponden. During the week they practised sailing a variety of

single-handed boats on their own as well as learning about water safety and

getting very wet!

They had a fantastic week learning new skills

and both achieved their RYA Stage 2 Sailing

Certificate. They have also been invited to take

part in the Saturday Onboard Club so they can

build on their skills and increase their time spent

on the water.

Green Withens Watersports Centre offers Sailing and Bellboating on

Tuesday evenings and Sailing Friday evenings. Rafting and Rowing

on Monday evenings. Three different activities on Saturday. Sailing

courses for Scouts and Guides - from Beginner to Advanced. Sailing

courses for Explorers, Guides & Adults (Network, Parents & Leaders).

Beaver and Parent Bellboating days. Cub Water Activity days. Scout

Dragon Boat Badge Day. Single and Double Scull Rowing for

Explorers and Adults. Special District and County events by arrangement. Adventurous Activity Permit training and assessment.

Some of our BBG swimmers were back competing in the pool this weekend, with some amazing times for all

disciplines (breastroke, backstroke, butterfly and freestyle). Daniel and Sam Jackson, Jess Widdowson and

Louis Cass, and his younger brother Nicholas all did unbelievably well, and we are very proud of them.

Mr Cattley (Maths) and his

wife ran the Great North Run

for Tommy’s last weekend

which is a charity that helps

families that have had

complications with

pregnancy - miscarriage, still

births and premature births

etc.

Although he wanted to do it

in under 2 hours, he

managed a great time of

2:03:27!

And Miss Blackburn completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks

Challenge with some of her friends, also at the weekend.

They did it for a charity called The Ella Dawson Foundation.

Ella is Miss Blackburn’s friend Tasha's sister, who passed away

in July from Leukaemia, and the charity has been set up by her

family to help other families and young adults who are going

through the same thing.

It took them 11 hours 32 minutes (the challenge is to do it in

under 12 hours!). She did it with her sister Lucy, Tasha and 4

other friends. So far they have raised just over £1300. She says

that whilst she is glad that she did it, she is absolutely never

doing it again!

I have managed to raise over

£700!

'Oh My Gods' by Alexandra Sheppard (suitable for

ages 11+)

Oh My Gods is a hilarious and relatable take on the

Greek myths, set in London. In ancient legends,

Helen is the irresistible beauty who kicked off the

Trojan war and changed history. But that’s just a

myth…

'Young, Gifted and Black' by Jamia Wilson and

Andrea Pippins (Suitable for ages 12+)

This next recommendation is a joyous tribute to

Black activists, pioneers and heroes throughout

history.

'You Should See Me In a Crown' by Leah

Johnson (Suitable for ages 12+)

Liz has always believed she’s too black, too poor,

and too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-

obsessed town. When the financial aid she was

counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz’s plans

come crashing down… until she’s reminded of her

school’s scholarship for prom king and queen…

The 'Nought and Crosses‘ series by Malorie

Blackman (Suitable for ages 13+)

This final reading recommendation is Malorie

Blackman’s Noughts and Crosses series, a brazen

and honest look at race and prejudice, perfect for

older readers looking for a story that will make you

think and feel in equal measure.

Callum is a Nought: lowest of the low in a society run

by Crosses. Sephy is a privileged Cross: daughter of a

powerful politician. They can’t love each other – but

they do. That’s how the time-bomb starts to tick. And

when it blows, their world will explode…

Have you read any of these books either based on

this recommendation or previously? Let us know!

We would love to hear all about a book that you have

read recently. Feel free to email recommendations

straight to Mrs Fitzsimons, or talk to your English

teacher.

NB for parents: Please check online reviews if you

have any queries about suitability of a book before

your child reads it.

Year 7 and 8

‘To be or not to be (prepared) what is the question???'

Questions to ask Year 11 students!

Following the revision evening last week, parents requested that we pass on some questions to ask Year 11

students at home.

The following are suggestions and should prompt students to demonstrate knowledge of content before next

week’s mocks:

Students have been advised to make revision flash cards. There are also a variety of useful resources on, for

example, BBCbitesize and Mr Bruff on YouTube.

Please see the English Subject sheet from last Thursday’s revision evening. Any questions or additional support

please contact Mr Smith (Head of English) or an English teacher.

SFSC is an activism group which encourages students to

express their ideas and opinions on social issues, both in

school and in society as a whole. The group has already

made huge steps towards improving life for those in the

academy and will continue to educate others on issues

such as politics, gender identity, sexual orientation, race,

religion and many more.

#OutspokenStudentsforUnspokenProblems

Creative Writing Club is an inclusive and supportive

space where BBG's writers get together to share ideas,

enter competitions, challenge themselves and support

and encourage one another. There are plenty of

opportunities to get your work published throughout the

year, as we work closely with 'Young Writers' who send

us several exciting competitions each term. We also

take part in NaNoWriMo each year (a challenge where

each person attempts to write a set number of words

throughout November).

It doesn't matter whether you've been writing for years

or are only just starting out, come along and get writing.

CWC will be starting on Wednesday 22nd- Room to be

confirmed. See Miss Rigg for more Details.

If you had your work published last year and haven't

yet collected your books, please come to the English

office and ask for Miss Rigg.

EXTRACurricular

Year 9: Where it all began

As Year 9 were introduced to world history and our first topic of The First World War, students began with an

introduction to the significance of the topic. This event shaped the world as we know it, as the second world war

and its horrors were born out of the first, along with the conception of communism and the subsequent Cold War

that reverberates in present day international relations. Year 9 began this story with an analysis of the two

alliances of 1914, The Triple Alliance and The Triple Entente, and the question of how Europe became divided in

into these two armed camps.

Teacher: Mme Djokovic

Alfie Watson (Y9): excellent score in the French baseline test

Teacher: Mrs Clough

Sebastian Bartocha, Hannah Dodge and Matilda Finn (Y9): outstanding score in the French baseline test

Teacher: Mrs Jones

Ruby Haigh and Abi Makin (Y9): excellent score in the French baseline test

Teacher: Mrs Santry

Gabriel Cain (Y9): very good score in the French baseline test

British Youth Music Theatre

Over the summer I took part in one of BYMT’s

summer camps and was awarded a Grade 6 in

musical theatre. There were many themes for all the

different camps across BYMT but mine was based on

the book ‘PET’ by Akwaeke Amezi which is a novel set

in a dystopian world in the aftermath of a revolution.

We had long rehearsal days from 9am to 9pm and

although it was tiring, the end result was definitely

worth it. It was the first time I had stayed away with

complete strangers and there was a real sense of

camaraderie.

It was also the first time the story of ‘PET’ had been

turned into a musical so our job over the week was to

compose the songs, choreograph the dances and

write the script from scratch. Working with the creative

team was really inspiring.

Half way through the week was a ‘Cabaret Night’ - a

chance to perform whatever you want and be in the

spotlight. I performed ‘On my Own’ from Les

Misérables

Everyone’s parents travelled from up and down the

country to come and see the final performance which

was fabulous.

Sadly, after the show, we said our good-byes but we

can’t wait to perform again next year after such an

amazing experience.

National Youth Choir

During lockdown I auditioned for the National Youth

Choir of Great Britain and to my amazement was

offered a place in the Girls choir. NYCGB meet two

or three times a year for week long residential

training courses and after such a brilliant week over

zoom at Easter I was really looking forward to their

summer course in Fleetwood. As with BYMT it was

amazing to connect with likeminded musicians who

love singing and to make some amazing music.

Choirs were one of the last things to open up after

lockdown and it was such a relief that this was

being allowed to go ahead after months of

uncertainty.

We studied four new musical scores from a choral

perspective which we performed to parents at the

end of the course in the church in the grounds as

well as honing our musicianship skills.

It was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to

meet up again at Easter.

Harriet Clark, Year 10

Regular readers will know that some of our busiest performers are Olivia and Harriet Clark, of Years 11 and 10.

They had an incredible summer, taking part in the National Youth Music Theatre and National Youth Choir of

Great Britain summer programmes, and have written about their experiences for the Bulletin.

Year 9 were investigating thermal

conduction in different materials and

we then discussed the idea of

particles to explain our results. We

came up with another question. Will

carbon be a good thermal conductor?

Year 8 made electromagnets and carried out an investigation to see how we could increase the strength of the

magnet. One student thought we might be picking up cars but we settled for paper clips as it is much safer.

Year 7 carefully raced maggots to calculate their speed using the

equation speed=distance/time. We tested different colours of

maggot, and hope that the results may help Mr. White with his

fishing!

• What do you think the above quote

means?

• What do you think is meant by the phrase

the laws of karma?

• Though its specifics are different

depending on the religion, karma generally

denotes the cycle of cause and effect —

each action a person takes will affect him

or her at some time in the future. This rule

also applies to a person's thoughts and

words, and the actions other people take

under that individual's instructions.
