Mrs Cheape is very excited this half term because she has received the fantastic news that 2 lucky students from GEMS, will be able to travel to France and visit the WW1 battle fields for 4 days.

As this opportunity sparked so much interest from Year 7 students (it is only open to Year 7 because they will be in Year 8 next year), Mrs Cheape decided to create a competition.  Anybody who was interested had to create a piece of work about WW1 and write about why Mrs Cheape should pick them.  As she could only pick two people, everybody worked with partners.  Therefore, if their work was picked, they both got to go.

Mrs Cheape is very grateful for this opportunity but she said  “picking two winners was one of the hardest decision of my career. I lost sleep over deciding because every single person who entered deserved to go, I wanted to take everybody.” However, Mrs Cheape did reach a decision, and is taking Luke and Joshua.

This trip will take place next year…. the boys are already excited about the prospect of this experience.
