#FavouriteBookFriday is with Ms Khan from our Maths Department: The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde.
Ms Khan says ‘….because no matter how often I read this book, it makes me cry every time. It’s the ultimate story of self-sacrifice and love’.
Quote from the book “Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot by it, nor is it set forth in the marketplace. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold.”
If so, PLEASE help us to collect the ‘It’s Good To Grow’ tokens for our school.
– Every £10 you spend = 1 token
– Scan your MyMorrisons card when checking out
– In your MyMorrisons account, go the the It’s Good To Grow section and choose Enfield Grammar School
We only have until 24th October to collect as many as possible – these tokens can be redeemed against well needed gardening equipment for our Gardening Club.
Our Art Dept. has launched a Portrait Competition ‘Inspirational Famous Minority Ethnic Role Models’ to run alongside BHM – any medium can be used to create these masterpieces.
Students: get creative! Can’t wait to see some of the entries!
Our Year 7s have already completed 500 missions on Literacy Planet!
Well Done Boys 📚📘
Ms Print received this email today:
We are so pleased to let you know that your school has passed an impressive milestone with LiteracyPlanet – completing 500 missions! We hope you are proud of your students the way we are – and if they keep up the good work there are more certificates to come!
At Enfield Grammar School we believe that boys who are supported become men who help others.
Our Peer Mentors meet regularly with younger students to support their emotional health and well-being, providing guidance to help them navigate their way through secondary school.
They offer a smile and a friendly face and give their mentees the opportunity to discuss a range of topics with students who have “walked in their shoes”
EGS have worked alongside the School Food Matters charity through their #KnowYourOnions project to develop and encourage our students to think about how food is grown, produced and consumed.
Our gardening club group and other selected students ran a stall in Enfield Town Market last week with products produced from items they have grown in school to sell to members of the public.
Our parent volunteer led our students to create unique and interesting items including seed bombs, dried bouquets, chutneys, seed packets and planted herbs amongst lots of other beautiful products.
There was a fabulous buzz in the air with members of the public, local business leaders, Enfield Council, school governors, parents, teachers and other students all coming over to give their support and make some purchases.
A nice little profit was made that will go straight back into the Gardening Club to help purchase items such as soil and equipment needed.
The boys have loved working alongside our volunteer and have learnt life skills including working as a team, gardening knowledge, environmental awareness and building important friendships.
On Market Day these boys were impeccably behaved and polite, resourceful and stepped up to the challenge of undertaking small Q&A sessions filmed by School Food Matters.
We are incredibly excited to continue to build on this work alongside our DofE Year 10s who will be supporting our volunteer with the gardening club. The aim is to provide a sustainable project that enables expansion to an existing well-accessed club and to provide a ‘team’ who will develop their own skill sets whilst also developing valuable in-school provision where we can also support our Food Tech dept.
Thank you to our exceptional volunteer who was fundamental within the project, our amazing students who have given up their lunchtimes on a weekly basis come rain or shine and to the SFM Team.
