A Kingdom's Celebration!
Tue 17 Jul 2018Student Harvey Dawson tells us about his experience in attending the RAF 100 event in London on Tuesday 10th July 2018:
"I was fortunate to be chosen to attend the RAF 100 event in London. The 100th birthday of the RAF.
What an experience.
It was an early start, 05:45 to be precise, and we all turned out in our parade uniform with shirts, ties and very shiny shoes for a day to remember.
The coach headed towards London ahead of the crowds. Our first job was to collect for the RAF appeal from all of the people arriving at The Mall. We were handed buckets and badges and sent off to our allocated areas. People were very friendly giving us all they could to raise money for the appeal.
After about two hours we all come together and lined up on The Mall ready for the fly over. The Royal family greeted the flyover from their balcony at Buckingham Palace.
There were around 100 planes on their way coming from Essex to fly over our heads and down The Mall. The helicopters flew over first them all the other planes which included spitfires, a Lancaster, Eurofighters, hawks, tornadoes and many more. 22 typhoon jets were in the formation of 100 in celebration. There were 3 F-35 Stealth fighter jets which were amazing. Last of all the red arrows flew over smoking in the colours of red white and blue.
We then made our way to The Horse Guard's parade ground where there were many planes grounded that we could climb over, sit in and take pictures. While we were there they held a ceremony and we were told about some of the planes and how they had been used by the RAF, and what their capabilities were.
Then it was time to get back to the coach and make out way back home after a long day that I will always remember, we arrived in Chelmsford at 20:30."

Mr M Farmer, Executive Headteacher, opened the evening by comparing the ambition of potential of students with a Rubik’s Cube – explaining that the puzzle is symbolic of students’ ability to strive and reach their full potential.
Year 13 Award Winners

Students Enjoy Chinese Cultural Day
Tue 10 Jul 2018In June, students took part in a Chinese Cultural Day to learn about Chinese heritage and culture.
The event was hosted by Essex China Educational Links Essex –Jiangsu Centre for Chinese Studies and was attended by students from 71M and 81M. Students learnt to read and speak Mandarin, make shadow puppets, practice calligraphy, and even learnt to sing a song in Mandarin.
The educational day was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and ended with students taking part in a traditional Chinese festival, complete with costumes and musical instruments.
Mrs Green, Head of Modern Foreign Languages at Moulsham High School, said “I am very pleased with the way the day went. The students absolutely loved all the activities and the festival in the afternoon was a real highlight.”
A Year 8 student added “I really enjoyed the Mandarin Day because I learnt about the culture and language. I am amazed by some of the things I learnt about their school day! My aunt is Chinese so now I can talk to her in Mandarin which I am very excited about. Xie xie to everyone involved.”
We are hoping to be able to offer the event again in future for more students, and are also looking into running Mandarin classes after school from October 2018.
