The English department enjoyed taking Year 9 to the Globe Theatre yesterday to see Much Ado About Nothing. A great post-exams trip for all. @NorthwoodGDST#wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits
It was great to welcome author Manjeet Mann to @NorthwoodGDST yesterday, who ran a creative writing workshop with Y10. Students explored how to turn initial ideas into potential stage scripts.
Manjeet also ran an interactive session with Y9. Thanks for coming! @NWC_English
Thanks to Manjeet Mann @PenguinUKBooks for her inspiring Year 10 writing workshops. A real buzz in the room and creative inspiration in every corner of the room. Looking forward to hearing her talk to Year 9 later on @lovewriting@NorthwoodGDST@NWC_Library#wefosterjoy
We entered the realm of fairy-tales for House Debate Week 2024. Students from Yr 7-13 represented Houses across three debates with confidence, articulation, passion and fantastic team work. Well done to overall winners Buchan House! #wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits#publicspeaking
This week students enjoyed delving into the fictional universes of Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes and Katniss Everdeen for their latest debate competition. Each team had successes in their own rounds - well done! thanks to @SHHSforGirls for an exciting evening of debate #NWCdebate
It's been a busy week with @NWC_Library and the English department joining forces to celebrate #worldbookday. Virtual bookshelves, a book cafe with students and teachers and, yesterday, a trip to @The_Globe to see Othello. Sixth-formers loved it! @NorthwoodGDST
An exciting night of public speaking @SHHSforGirls Our girls from Yr 8 to 12 showed bravery, confidence and eloquence in their individual rounds. Special mention to A. who was one of the 6 finalists on the night! @NorthwoodGDST#wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits
@MrsMorjaria in fine form today presenting the business case for EDI. Thanks to you and @bale_claire for an inspiring day exploring Diversity and Inclusion @GDST. Also enjoyed sharing ideas around diversifying curriculum in the afternoon.#edi#diversityandinclusion@NorthwoodGDST
Amba and Dalal impressing at @WatfordGrammar Year 13 English Symposium today with their talk on the unequal depiction/reception of women in literature: from Lady Chatterley's Lover and A Doll's House to Gone Girl and American Psycho. @NorthwoodGDST#wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits
Year 8 Read Around the Curriculum has launched! Following the success of the Year 7 RAC, we have created a new reading challenge for Year 8. With thanks to @NWC_Library for hosting @NorthwoodGDST. #wefosterjoy#lovereading
This is terrible news. Benjamin Zephaniah was a major figure in school poetry for many years, bringing joy + inspiration to millions. He will be deeply missed and our thoughts are with his family. Here he is in happier days on our Poetry Station website poetrystation.org.uk/poems/no-probl…
Yr 11s had the fantastic experience of hearing poetry on the GCSE course read by celebrated poets and distinguished Poet Laureates. In the words of @JohnAgard1 "poetry is a marriage of the conscious and subconscious". A wonderful day of unlocking our inner poet! @NorthwoodGDST
Lucky Year 11 (and their teachers!). A real treat to be given a lecture on witchcraft in the Early Modern era by our resident expert @NWC_Head this afternoon. Contextual learning for Macbeth brought to life @NorthwoodGDST @GDST #wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits#toilandbubble
@EngMediaCentre Really interesting ways to imagine Shakespeare on stage. 'Feeling the words in your muscles' will take some getting used to for our girls @NorthwoodGDST - but we're sure they'll rise to the challenge!
A successful launch of Senior Literary Society this year, with students from Years 10-13 enjoying exploring The Go-Between within the context of English country house narratives @NorthwoodGDST#wheregirlslearnwithoutlimits
Happy national poetry day! The English department enjoyed sharing our perspectives on the theme of 'Refuge' in yesterday's assembly @NorthwoodGDST#lovepoetry
