Teams working together to design and produce a robotic arm

SENIOR SUBJECT SPOTLIGHT

They say team work makes the dream work and this

was certainly the case during Year 8’s DT lessons this

week.

Teams were tasked with designing and producing a

claw for the bottom of a robotic arm – all within a set

budget!

A set shopping list of materials was available to pupils

at a cost which meant they needed to agree a budget –

no mean feat!!

Some incredible designs were on display with all pupils

getting fully involved in producing the mechanism using

all types of tools and materials.

A joy to see such enthusiasm and enjoyment during a

lesson that certainly got the pupils working together

and using their best skills.

SPORT SUCCESS

Ellie (Year 10) qualified for

the Obstacle Course Race

World Championships in

London on the 11th

October.

She ran 3k on the Friday

with 34 obstacles,

finishing by getting over a

15ft wall with only half a

rope. Amazing!

Well done to our U13

rugby boys for their

spirited game at St

Clare’s. Our dramatic

last play score secured

a 20-20 final score.

The Sixth Form Mixed

Netball Team entered into a

Charity Tournament last

Sunday raising money for

Velindre . They were

runners up losing in the

final by 3 goals! They all

played really well and are

keen for more fixtures.

The total money raised so

far from the tournament is

£3000.

DRAMA TRIP

Mrs Nepean, our new Head of Drama, is passionate

about exposing exam level students to all sorts of

different theatrical experiences.

Earlier this week, 22 Drama GCSE and A Level

Theatre Company.

Mrs Nepean commented on the excellent behaviour of

Rougemont pupils during the trip.

This year’s Sixth Form Charity Fashion Show on

Wednesday 27th November, in aid of the Lucy Ellis

A lovely baking activity for the weekend

CHEF’S CORNER

How to make Chef Iain’s delicious chocolate chip

cookies!

Ingredients

1 cup salted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Method

In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle

attachment mix the butter, sugar and vanilla together

for 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in

the flour, mixing until just combined.

Stir in the chocolate chips evenly.

Transfer the dough to a zip-top bag and chill for at least

2 hours. Or, you can roll your dough out now and cut

into shapes, and then chill the dough. Both methods

are fine.

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking tray with

parchment paper ready for your cookie dough.

Roll dough out into a large square, about 1/3-inch

thick. Cut the dough into shapes using a cookie cutter.

Place on baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

And voila! Chef Iain is chief taster so be sure to bring a

sample for him to try!
