This evening our Silver Duke of Edinburgh group have been joined by ladies from the local ExtraCare Village.  Over the past few months the Duke of Edinburgh group have been busy making Cobblers gift cards and place mats and the ladies from ExtraCare have volunteered hours of their own time cutting out extra photographs of the Cobblers players from old match day programmes to help boost the production of the stock.  The ExtraCare ladies visited the Study Centre to join the Duke of Edinburgh group to see what they have been making with all the cuttings. 

The signed gift cards and place mats are being sold by the Duke of Edinburgh group to raise money toward a Shelter Box that will be sent to Haiti.  The fundraising will form part of  their Community Service section of the award.

This evening at the Cobblers Study Centre our Year 8 Kic.In2.Study group have been designing plasticine models, attaching them to parachutes and releasing them from the top of the South stand.  The Kic.In2.Study boys created characters such as ”Frank Landhard” and “Skeleton Bob” and timed their flight to the ground. Back in the Study Centre the boys calculated the speeds of their characters using the distance divided by time formula.  They finished off their session by playing a number of table tennis related games.
