African dance workshop and disco
Year 13 student Izzie writes about this week’s African dance workshop and disco below.
As October draws to a close, it marks the end of Black History Month, and here at Myton we’ve spent the month bringing awareness to the experiences black people have faced historically as well as presently. We are embracing the motto ‘young, black and listened to’ which reflects Myton’s purpose of fostering a safe and comfortable environment for students of all backgrounds. We have also been celebrating the rich culture of black heritage, specifically with the Afrobeats dance workshop and disco that was held on Monday night. Organised by Miss Zahran and Miss Jones, the Upper School Hall hosted students and their parents, for an evening honouring African dance and music.

Well done to you all!
Connected Communities Workshop
Year 8 Computing students were given the opportunity to take part in a ‘Connected Communities’ workshop led by volunteers from the tech industry this week. The two-period session, led by Digital Skills Education and supported by Cellnex UK volunteers, engaged Year 7 and 8 students in hands-on coding activities using microbits and a map of a virtual city. The students explored smart city technology by configuring sensors and controlling traffic systems, learning valuable coding skills and gaining insights into potential tech careers. The students enjoyed the interactive learning experience and the volunteers were very impressed by the questions they asked. Thank you to Mr Stone who helped get this session running!

New Law Society and Politics Society
We are excited to announce the launch of our new Law and Politics Societies! This week Mr Hone, Mrs Walkden and Mrs Fairhurst heard inspiring presentations from students applying to be the societies’ founding members. Each student brought their ideas to life with incredible enthusiasm, vision, and passion, making the selection process a truly difficult one!
Orchestra of the Swan rehearsals
Year 11, 12 and 13 Music students visited Warwick School this week to watch the Orchestra of the Swan rehearse for their evening concert in Warwick Hall.
On arrival they were treated to a rendition of the main theme from ‘Psycho’, a piece which uses a range of special effects on the strings, followed by ‘Morning’ from Grieg’s ‘Peer Gynt suite’.
This was a great opportunity for students to experience a live orchestra and we hope to take other Myton students to future rehearsals.
The Bee Team
The Bee Team is Myton’s club for students keen to help bees. We are busy planning a Big Bee Event but we need the Myton community’s help please! We would be very grateful for donations of any items that we can sell or give as prizes for various competitions (preferably bee themed but not necessarily). If you have any donations, please drop these into the main reception labelled for the attention of Mr Hobbs or give him a buzz at [email protected].
Any students interested in joining The Bee Team should come to S1 on Wednesday lunch times.
