As part of our G1 and pre A civil engineering challenge, teams had to use limited newspaper and masking tape resources to make the tallest tower capable of supporting a golf ball, and a bridge spanning 80 cm to transport a toy car. They had a limited time span and an Easter related award for the most successful structures.
In mid-March, our school received another visit from the 'Beast from the East'! We woke up to icicles, and more snow covering the school grounds. We are now taking this in our stride and nothing stops us having fun.
Our basketball team showed great team spirit, commitment and sportmanship at the ISSA tournament in March. After losing our first two games, we won three in a row by scores of 40-21, 61-46 and 49-25. Well done to everyone who took part, you did the school proud! 
Over the past month, we have been conducting an Adventure Sports Programme for our students which has been pushing them to their limits! Pupils took part in several exciting activities, including navigating an underground maze, riding horses and paintballing. It is always rewarding seeing students try something new and out of there comfort zones. Well done to everyone who got involved!
On 2nd February, some of our students took part in a day of charity fundraising for Cancer Research UK. The pupils braved the cold to raise funds by completing a charity car wash and playing in a charity football game. Thank you to all the students who braved the cold to support such a worthy cause!

New names were announced for our Houses. Instead of colours that had been temporarily given as everybody worked on deciding the final name for each house, names of famous British explorers have now been given. Blue House becomes Scott, Green turns into Drake, Yellow transforms itself into Kingsley, and red reveals itself finally to be Cook. Decisions were taken democratically during the weekly tutor group, and the final choice was revealed Friday. Runners-up had been Knights of the Round Table, International Mafia organisations and literary characters like Sherlock Holmes and James Bond. Your guess as to whether the right choice was finally made..jpg)
Every Wednesday between the hours of six until eight the cookery class meet in the college kitchens to make creations under the direction of our chef Jonathan Astly.. “Twenty-seven turned up last week. I usually aim at about 14-15.” With such a popular class should he complain, we ask ourselves? On the menu so far has been sushi, cupcakes and brownies. “We will also be preparing a buffet for Halloween” added Stephen with a wicked grin.
Over two days we took all of our students, returning and new arrivals, into Tenbury for a closer look at the town.
In SMC we have many great clubs. To name some, there are debate club, drama club, Japanese club, science discussion club and newspaper club. In debating club students had a very interesting discussion about the school uniforms and if they are discriminating people according to their sex or not. In History and Politics club the topic of the Spartan Constitution will be presented this week. In Drama club students are learning the art of acting and in Basketball club people are having great time while they are finding new friends.
The latest experiment that was organized by our students was the investigating iron tablets. Haemoglobin, in red blood cells, has haem groups containing Iron, which bond to oxygen and transport it around the body. When there is a lack of iron in the organism (iron deficiency) it can cause serious problems as oxygen intake decreases.…

Monday morning assemblies have a sense of sparkle about them these days. On a cold winter morning it could be a moment to set our pupils up for the week. Inspiring models of behaviour are the watchwords here and the other week our pupil Nashm prepared a poem to read to the assembled school. It…

We have been fortunate to welcome a group of Peruvians students to King’s College Saint Michaels this term. They were a great addition to the school joining in lessons whilst improving their English.

If you went up to the Common Room on Saturday you would have been confronted by a room festooned with balloons, rose petals, hearts, decorations and other accessories for the annual Valentine’s Day Disco. There was a lot of dancing, with good music played by ace DJs Martin and Nashm. Mostly upbeat, thumping rhythms were…

What a day to go to Cardiff! A little peaceful shopping perhaps? A jaunt around the celebrated castle ruins and reflection upon medieval times? Not on this day, anyway. Yes, we could go shopping, yes we could go around the castle, but our attention was drawn principally by the feel of carnival around us. Drummers…

We arrived late afternoon and noticed how different it was from the UK before even getting off the plane. It had been a while since we’d last seen the sun still shining after 5 p.m. The ride over to the hotel had us gawking at the marvelous city. Seeing Madrid made me realize that love…

Liverpool When we arrived in Liverpool, we did a little shopping before finding a great restaurant for some lunch. Horrible football – I’m joking of course – to those Liverpool fans. We noticed the streets were made from a weird material, they were very different to Peruvian roads. We also saw some extremely good architecture and…
