Thank you to all of the pupils for all of their hard work and effort during the week. It’s been fantastic to see so many of you involved and representing your form and Houses.

Thank you to all of the form tutors and Heads of House for promoting and encouraging the pupils to get involved in this event.

Thank you to all of the staff who got involved (especially those who made those brilliant videos!) in the events. It was great to see all of your efforts and we know the girls really appreciated seeing you getting involved too.

Thank you to Mrs Dudley for organising all of the results sheets and helping to collate the final scores.

And last but not least, thank you to the PE department for all of their hard work in organising and running Virtual Sports Day Week 2020. Sports Day is normally a huge task in terms of preparation and running a whole school event and we were determined not to miss out this year – even with Lockdown! Thank you for taking the time to make this event happen.

I hope you have had as much fun as we have had getting involved and doing something a little different (and definitely memorable) for Sports Day this year and here’s hoping we can do our regular Sports Day next year!

Have a lovely Summer break everyone! Stay safe, keep active and see you in September!

House Franklin’s £1 challenge to raise money for Cancer Research

/in /by

Selling cakes in Lister Hospital for Cancer Research UK

House Franklin decided to raise money for Cancer Research as we had a member in our form who had suffered with leukaemia. We decided to organise a Teacher’s Karaoke session at a lunch time but this didn’t exactly go to plan… but we learnt from it and decided to plan more efficiently as a team for the rest of the challenge. Our next activity was a Movie Night for Year 7 pupils before the start of their Year 7 Welcome Evening which would keep them occupied before their parents arrived at school. We also organised a ‘Guess the amount of sweets in the jar’ competition across all forms in school, and – as the mum of one form member works at the local hospital – a Cake Sale in the Lister Hospital. We raised a total of around £115, and we’re very proud of our achievement! It was fun and we all bonded as a form, engaging with people we had never met before. We can’t wait to see how the Year 12s do next year.

Two girls in House Franklin baked and sold a variety of cakes to raise money for House Austen’s charity

Inspired by our school values and House motto of cooperation and teamwork, my friend and I wanted to raise money for House Austen’s charity. We baked a variety of cakes including flapjacks and fairy cakes and sold them to hungry Bishop’s students as they left school after a busy day! Members of Franklin helped with setting up the stall and promotional posters and we managed to raise £28.28!

House Franklin charity activities in aid of Cancer Research UK

/in /by

Please support House Franklin’s chosen charity, Cancer Research UK, by joining in the many school activities which are taking place during January & February

This half term, House Franklin is supporting Cancer Research UK, a charity whose mission is to prevent, control and cure cancer through ground-breaking research. Most of us have been or will be touched directly or indirectly by cancer at some point in our life. Our charity awareness and fundraising Half Term will therefore start with ‘Touched by Cancer’, every Wednesday lunch time in Room 215, where the whole school community is invited to come and have a fingerprint painted on our board.

You can also help us raise funds for Cancer Research UK by joining our Jarbola event, a tombola of decorated jars filled with treats, to be held in the Hall on Friday 8th February (12:45-1:10pm). Please bring one or more decorated jars, filled with goodies (to your form tutor) until Thursday 7th February and 50p to get your own jarbola on the day.

Our Valentines Shop (in Room 216) is also taking orders for Valentines gifts which can be anonymously delivered to a BHGS school friend of your choice on Valentines Day or simply collected by yourself and taken home to treat someone outside school. Prices range from 20p to £1 for our glitter hearts, sweet filled heart bags or honeycomb hearts but hurry as our order deadline is 10th February!

Finally we will be holding a Beauty Mufti on Friday 15th February when you can wear your weekend clothes for £2 (to be collected by your Charity Rep). You will also be able to have your nails painted or have false eye lashes fitted for only £2 during break or lunchtime in the Hall that day. What a great end to the half term and good show of support for the research into cancer!

Looking forward to see all Houses show their charity spirit

Thank you for your support

Abbie’s Swimathon for Cancer Research UK & Marie Curie

/in /by

Abbie’s appeal for her next Swimathon in aid of Cancer Research UK & Marie Curie

My name is Abbie and I am in Year 7 (Franklin House). I swim for Hatfield Swimming Club and started swimming when I was 7 years old. In 2017 I saw The Swimathon Challenge advertised and decided I wanted to use my swimming to help others. I signed up for the 1.5K swim that year. I swam 60 lengths and raised £570 for Marie Curie. That year I was also nominated for the Welwyn and Hatfield Community Hero Award which I won. In 2018 I wanted to do the challenge again but harder. I swam again for Marie Curie but this time I swam 100 lengths in 43 minutes and raised £610 for the charity. I wanted to do it as fast as I could and I did!

This year I will be doing the same but instead of 100 lengths I wanted to step it up; so I am going to be swimming 200 lengths (5K). My aim is to raise as much money as I can! I also would like to swim as fast as I can and try my hardest. My aim is to not stop and carry on! I am very proud of how much I have raised so far but Marie Curie and Cancer Research UK need more money to keep doing all they can to find more cures for the disease that affects so many people’s lives.

I would really appreciate it if you could sponsor me. My fundraising page is: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/abbie-hackworth2018

Thanks a lot!
