Playing risk with my family:

Hello, my name is George Edwards and I will be talking about my game of risk with my family.

It was really fun and enjoyable, sadly we could not actually finish the game since I have heard that this game usually takes hours, sometimes even days to finish, at the final stage of our risk match my dad had control of most of asia while my mum however had been completely crushed by my sisters boyfriend Jack, meanwhile I had a large foothold of africa and had control of greenland and England and was about to make my own version of D-day in risk by liberating europe from my sister, Lily, but just before I could do such a thing the game finished and it was agreed that dad was the winner because he had control of more territories than any of us combined.

Covid 19 - A poem

I take no credit for this, the author is currently unknown. I felt compelled to share it... 

We fell asleep in one world,
and woke up in another.

Suddenly Disney is out of magic,
Paris is no longer romantic,
New York doesn't stand up anymore,
the Chinese wall is no longer a fortress,
and Mecca is empty.

Hugs & kisses suddenly become weapons, and not visiting parents & friends becomes an act of love.

Suddenly you realise that power, beauty & money are worthless, and can't get you the oxygen you're fighting for.

The world continues its life and it is beautiful.
It only puts humans in cages.

I think it's sending us a message: "You are not necessary.
The air, earth, water and sky without you are fine.
When you come back, remember that you are my guests. Not my masters."

First Blog Post - Mr Clark

We find ourselves living in a truly unprecedented time, where we are all literally making history. In the future our experiences now will be studied in schools and universities. Never since the Second World War has our entire planet been driven to fundamentally change the way we  live in response to a genuinely significant global challenge.

Your experiences and reflections are deeply valuable and will if recorded form part of the rich tapestry of historical evidence that will chronicle these days we are living through.

This blog is a unique opportunity to take a little time each day to share your thoughts and experiences. To reflect and possibly inspire readers now and into the future with the spirit and positivity you project against a back drop of united adversity.

I am looking forward to reading the daily contributions and capturing soundbites to tweet, demonstrating the fortitude evident across the Finborough family as we drive forward ready to do what ever is required to remain upbeat and focused on our learning and the future.

Share what you are doing, how you are feeling and your thoughts as we all adapt to the Coronavirus pandemic we are all living through.

We are all ready to be moved and inspired by your thoughts and actions as we all move forward together in isolation, yet possibly more connected in our experiences than any of us have been in our life times.

These are our moments in time to capture and share in perpetuity, so start blogging today!

Welcome Post - Miss Thomas

Hello and welcome To Finborough School's blog

What can we say to begin with, except welcome to our new Finborough School blog. 

This is the first post of our new blog, we hope that this will be a way for us all to keep in touch and stay connected by sharing information, and news from our students, staff and parents alike.

It is really important that we all remain as connected and positive as possible through this difficult and unprecedented time, so we would really like all students to get involved and share their own lives with us through these posts.

These could be written to share a passion, show what you have been doing to keep busy, or just to keep in touch with the Finborough family.
