Tudor Grange Worcester

After 5 years Worcester Finally got snow on December 9th! Unfortunately most of it has gone by now, and we are left with the ice which is very slippy! The school was closed for 2 ½  days so the ice and snow would have time to melt and the wonderful site staff to get the school ready for action! Snow over the Catheredral Snow over Worcester Homes Snow is an incredibly difficult weather for services and people to deal with. Many services were disrupted such as the bus and train systems around the West Midlands and our public service's have to work around the clock to keep us safe, keep us moving, and keep us healthy. Policemen and Women Clearing the Worcester Police Office Drive Where did the most snow fall you may ask curious reader? The answer is Sennybridge in Wales (about 60km north of Cardiff and 50km north west of Swansea) where they experienced 33cm (source: Met Office) of snow :O and you thought we had a lot of snow! Many accidents has happened such as t

Yes! It's finally (or not?) this time of the year! Christmas is coming up and as always the TGAW SAS Winter Fate has happend on the 25th of November. For the unfamiliar the fate raises money for charity, this year we selected Papyrus MS Society and Variety, and the fate includes a mix of SAS group stalls, college stalls and standard school stalls.   Papyrus claims: " Suicide is the biggest killer of young people – male   and  female – under 35 in the UK  2015, 1,659 young people took their own lives. That equates to over four per day. Every year many thousands more attempt or contemplate suicide, harm themselves or suffer alone, afraid to speak openly about how they are feeling." and they aim to prevent suicide via their help line and web chat. They have put together this video to explain what they do: The MS Society claims they are a " a community of people living with MS, scientists, campaigners, volunteers and fundraisers." and they aim to provide mo

T his week  is   anti-bullying week.   TGAW tries there complete hardest to encourage no bullying. As a school we all believe that bullying should not be allowed and should be stopped. No matter how hard we try and if we don’t succeed we as a school  wil l  work together  to  accomplish  o ur  goals , you can talk to your tutor, any teacher, a responsible adult and we  even have a wellbeing drop in the mentor room lunch and break.   U nfortunately, anti-bullying week is coming to an end but I hope that after anti-bullying week we will all stay as kind and friendly to  each other  like normal!   Just remember: is it true, is it  necessary , is it kind.  

Recently in SAS authors we had a lovely group (Class) of year 3 from Hollymount primary school and they were such a delight! They quietly came in ready for a day of fun and excitement! We spent half of the day with them as our SAS, we read books and took interviews to see what they like in books! With a variety of different ideas we all managed – in our little groups- to have a massive brainstorm on what books they wanted us as representatives from TGAW to create for them! With a bunch of different creative ideas I hope that my group and I will find a story line that interests them all! We are starting from scratch with only there ideas and our data we collected from them! I really enjoy SAS authors and I really recommend this for the next time you put down your options! This goes without needing to say but I think everyone needs to thank Miss Dawson who created this all. None of this would be possible without her full attention and commitment to  SAS Authors INC! Thank you!

As part of the D in the Tudor Values we had a mock election on Thursday 8th of June. In tutor you were given a voting slip and the chance to vote or not vote. You can see the table below of the results: Quite an impressive turn out with 99% of the school voting! Labour takes the top spot with 389 votes VS runner up Conservative with 131 votes, that's a 258 vote difference! Our results are also very different to Worcester's official results, which only has a 69.73% turnout! The official Worcester results puts the Conservatives at top spot with 24,731 votes and Labour second place with 22,223 votes.

Today the TGAW basketball team went to the IZB Regional Tournament. We brought 12 people and separated ourselves between 2 teams, TGAW 1 and TGAW 2 (No difference between the ability of the team) and got separated between 2 pools, A and B. TGAW 1 in A and TGAW 2 in B. I was in TGAW 1. Both of the team thrashed all the teams in both pools by about 12 points! Then came the semi finales, 1st in pool A played 2nd in B and vise versa. Both of the TGAW teams were first! Both teams powered through the semi-finals. The our opponents put up a good fight. Then came the finals! TGAW vs TGAW! The ultimate game! The game was tight, TGAW 1 had placed there players poorly so TGAW 2 had the advantage. It was close. TGAW 1 scored 2 points, but TGAW 2 scored 6 in the first half! The second half was close, both teams trying there hardest to win! It was especially tight in the last minute, TGAW 1 kept shooting but kept missing! The whistle blew. The final score was 2-8 to them. We wer
