What’s the most prolific partnership in recent football history? Son and Kane? Ronaldo and Benzema? How about EA and FIFA? Their collaboration produced the most popular sports video game series of all time, with 325 million copies sold worldwide.
EA Sports FC 24 – the makers’ new solo offering – now hopes to emulate FIFA’s legendary success. While it’s almost certain to hit the back of the net in commercial terms, does it keep a clean sheet against FIFA’s traditional online safety risks? Find out in today’s #WakeUpWednesday guide.
We got all of Year 9 who were in school on the 16th October completing the 30 compressions and some brave people doing the two breaths as part of their CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) training. We also looked at how the recovery position is performed. We also talked about why this is so important, 80% of all cardiac arrests happen in the home. This year’s campaign is focusing on defibrillation awareness and access to this life saving device. So a video linked to this was also shown in tutor time. Well done Year 9.
For all years groups.
Great Duke’s bake off is back!
If staff and students would like to enter this year’s cake competition they need to bring any cakes or traybakes along to the beacon on Friday 27th October before the tutor bell.
Cakes will then be on sale at break and lunch after judging has taken place. Prizes for category winners.
Money raised is for the New York trip
Year 7 disco
We are holding a disco for Year 7 on the 8th November.
Tickets are on sale from break and lunch club. £1.50 per ticket and there will be a tuck shop and drinks on sale. Good behaviour is needed to attend. Please see Mrs Henderson, Mrs Young or Miss Smith for more details.
A few snapshot of Hello Yellow today!
All staff and students wore yellow to raise awareness of Children’s mental health. Thank you Mrs Freeman for organising this great event.
Among Us: fairly safe, or pretty suspicious? This scenario of spaceship crew members cooperating to complete tasks and uncover murderous alien imposters has garnered a sizeable and committed following with younger gamer.
Though Among Us is presented in a (mainly) sanitised visual style, any children’s game which essentially foregrounds the concepts of deceit, betrayal and killing is always likely to cause some concerns. This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide gets among it with Among Us.
‘Hello Yellow’ day. Next week Tuesday 10th October. It will be a non uniform day but we want to see as much yellow as possible.
It is to raise awareness and money for young people’s mental health with Young Minds. There is a recommended donation of £1 to raise money for young people’s mental health. 
All cadets were smart and a credit to Duke’s.
They made many friends out side of our contingent.
The CCF completed in:
Air rifle
Map orientation
Handrails
Moving with and without a personal weapon
Why things are seen
Field signals
And also a good insight into camp life with a different organisation.
The cadets can now look forward to next weekend where they will attend ‘black rat’ challenge in Yorkshire.
