The team were a credit to the school; it is the first time in the school’s history that we have had so many pupils qualify! Well done to them all! It was a tremendous achievement and they thoroughly deserve their success.’ The team are coached by Miss Kelly, Mrs Cowley and Mrs Bennett. WELL DONE! Lewis and Josh check their scores!

They then visited the Olympic building site and Stratford Westfield shopping centre to support the unit of work they are about to carry out on Urban Regeneration. Thanks to Mrs Johns, Mrs Impey, Mrs Dace, Mr Dudmish and Mr Heale for their help in running the two days.’ ART TRIP TO KEW GARDENS On the 20th January the Year 10 GCSE Art students visited Kew Gardens.

We all enjoyed ourselves and managed to steer clear of the rain! Ben Coombes 10A3 GIRLS SPORT UPDATE FROM MISS ROONEY: Netball: ‘A good start to the season with all year groups winning their league games against Appleton, Cornelius and Deanes. The year 7s continue to get better and better, scoring as many as 50 goals within 1 game. They are the only year group to remain in the Essex Cup and currently are top of their group. We are confident that, with continued hard work and good commitment to training, this team will go on to achieve great things, leaving a legacy for those behind to follow. The Under 14 team (year 8 and 9) missed out on the quarter finals of the Essex cup to Westcliff but the game was very close. The team remain in the South East Essex Cup, beating King John (a first for this year group) by 27 goals to 5. The Under 16s also just missed out, losing to Deanes by 7 goals.’ Basketball: ‘A relatively new sport to the girls’ extracurricular timetable but something that has proven to be popular! Yr 7, 8 and 9 entered the Essex Cup for the first time and found it challenging, but still enjoyable. Year 7 had great success beating teams such as Shoebury, Greensward and Great Baddow. With some tough games to come, the team look hopeful to win the Essex Cup competition. A first for FitzWimarc girls!’ Gymnastics: ‘A quiet start that is set to be busy in February. Good luck to all those competing in the District competition on the 24 of January and the Carita House Competition on the 4 of February. The first round of East England is set for 1 March. The team have been working hard under the supervision of Miss Kelly and Mrs Cowley and look promising.’ Cross Country: ‘Record numbers for the girls this year at Districts with red FitzWimarc vests dominating the front of the race! Year 7 A/B and C teams all came first, Years 8/9 A and B teams came a close second, whilst the C team came 1st. In the Senior event both A and B teams won. As a result many of the FitzWimarc girls were selected to represent the District Cross Country team.’ Swimming: ‘All teams successfully qualified for the District Swim Final which is due to be held on Wednesday 25 January. Good Luck Everyone!’ THE CAR PARK REMEMBER! DO NOT DROP OFF OR PICK UP A STUDENT BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8.00AM AND 3.30PM. Berrys Arcade, Rayleigh UNIFORM DRAW SUMMER TERM All pupils have a uniform card - if they keep a ‘clean sheet’ it goes into a termly draw.

I was really impressed with the entries from my year group as they all worked hard towards this competition and I am very proud of their efforts. Charity, Katie and Holly are a credit to the school and so typical of the FitzWimarc student, putting a lot of thought into their entries to get an important message across to others of their own age. They win Amazon vouchers of £50, £25 and £10 and I hope they enjoy spending them!’ Charity won 1st prize and said, ‘My poster said Hate or be a Mate! I was really shocked when I received a call to tell me I had won, but I’m also very pleased’ Katie came 2nd with her Cyber Bullying poster. She said, ‘People do get bullied on the Internet Holly Perkins so it is really good to see that Katie Orchard it is not acceptable and that help is out there.

However, the attitude and the work ethic has been good. The A team have played 8 matches so far and the B team also enjoyed their matches. Year 8 won 5 out of 6 Castle Point and Rochford League matches and are also still in 2 Cup competitions. They were, unfortunately, knocked out of the Essex Cup in the quarter-final. Year 9s won 4 out of 5 CPR League matches, but were knocked out of the District Cup by Greensward. The boys are still in the SEE Cup after defeating Westcliff in the 1st round. Year 10 played 2 league matches and won both! They were knocked out of the District Cup by Castle View but avenged this defeat by beating them in the SEE Cup. The County Cup was the other competition in which the boys recorded 2 wins but a defeat against Chelmer ended their run. Yr11 boys played 5 league matches and won 2. The District and Regional cup runs also ended in narrow defeats against Sweyne Park. More football news after half-term!’ Rugby: ‘Year 7s had a really impressive term and have already won friendly matches. They took part in their first tournament where they were runners-up. Year 8s reached the quarter-final of the Essex Cup. Year 9 reached the semi-final of the Essex Cup and will hopefully emulate their success last year. Year 10s also reached the semis of the Essex Cup, beating Saffron Waldon. Year 11, unfortunately, went out of the County Cup to Campion but will be looking to win the District title before they leave!’ Basketball: ‘All 5 teams from Year 7-11 reached the quarter-final stage of the Essex Cup. Year 8s and 11s deserve recognition for reaching the semi-final stage already. Year 8,9,10 and 11 also won their District matches. Swimming: ‘In the CPR Championships, our boys were overall winners!’ Cross Country: ‘Both boys teams qualified for the Regional National Cup Championships!’ 73 Eastwood Road, Rayleigh, Essex SS6 7JN Tel: 01268 741164 Fax: 01268 745049 email: [email protected] Book a free valuation today! TYMS CHARITY FRIDAY On 27 January it was the turn of Tyms House to organise fundraising events in aid of The Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK, a charity which raises money for research into bowel cancer. Miss Kruse is Head of Tyms and co-ordinated events for both staff and pupils to enjoy, whilst raising money for this worthwhile cause. This event was covered by Fitz Focus Reporter Luke Tonge and photographer Charles Thompson of 8D3. The famous image of Bobby Moore holding the Jules Rimet trophy aloft at Wembley Stadium in 1966 is one that has become ingrained in every football fan's memory. Suzanna Wright entertains pupils and staff during the lunchtime fundraising activities The Staff Football Match - Luke said, ‘At 1.30pm hundreds of students gathered round the Sports Hall border to watch Staff v Staff! From start to finish the hall was really noisy, filled with screams of excitement! It was so packed that when you got a place to sit or stand, you were stuck there for the 30 minutes! The game was very good, especially Mr Sexton who tripped up Mrs Bennett and also went for the ball with Mr Deller, and they were both floored! At the end of the mach Mrs Watkins said it had been great fun and staff all had a very good game!’ Tyms Charity Friday - Luke said, ‘In the school’s main hall there were lots of fund raising activities including a football themed face paint, quizzes and lots of prizes to be won! The centre of attention was a crazy Karaoke which Charlotte Felton in 8C1 kicked off with an Adele track. Yet again, hundred of students gathered in the hall to explore the activities. It was a really enjoyable day as I’m sure everyone will agree. We are still counting the money up but hope to If you would like to be a have raised lots for The Bobby Moore Fund that was set up by his wife Fitz Focus reporter, please speak to Mrs Canham to raise money for Bowel Cancer.’ YEAR 11 FITZ IN WELL AT WORK! Our Year 11 students went out into the world of work for two weeks in December. They had a fantastic opportunity to experience ‘the real world’ - here’s what some of them thought about it…. Rebecca Thornton was placed with Rayleigh Pets. Rebecca said, ‘I enjoyed seeing a different environment to school. It made me realise what a hard day’s work is! It has helped me plan for the future.’ Ashley Hill was placed with French Car-Nection. Shannen Young was placed with Sainsbury’s. Shannen said, ‘The work was repetitive but I was treated as part of the team. I would definitely apply for part time work there. I was able to develop my communication skills alongside staff and by helping customers.’ Ashley said, ‘I was busy all day and it was good fun. I liked the people I worked with.’ Connor Killick was placed with Avionicare. Connor said, ‘It was brilliant, fun and worthwhile. I did electronics, soldering and fixed instruments. It was a good placement for an engineering student.’ Mrs Butcher is responsible for placing all Year 11s with an employer and monitors their progress over the two week period. She said, ’Again, our students perf or me d well dur ing t heir placements gaining worthwhile experiences in the workplace. This collaboration between our school and employers is valued. It is a great disappointment that government funding for pre-16 work experience has been withdrawn and that the onus is now entirely on the school to fund this useful venture.’ Follow us on Twitter: FitzWimarcSch
