  Hello. I'm Mrs Marshall.

• 00:02 - 00:02

  I'm that sinker.

• 00:03 - 00:05

  But Jonathan wants school in breathe, people.

• 00:06 - 00:08

  Teoh meeting You're on Dwell.

• 00:09 - 00:10

  We are not in school.

• 00:10 - 00:12

  Probably can't do this in person.

• 00:12 - 00:14

  I thought I'd make a short video.

• 00:15 - 00:17

  I'm showing you a few key places in the school

• 00:18 - 00:18

  nights thing.

• 00:18 - 00:19

  What happens where?

• 00:20 - 00:21

  Almost like a little bit of a tool.

• 00:22 - 00:24

  You may go through to trigger these places and explain

• 00:26 - 00:28

  what happened in certain buildings on also.

• 00:29 - 00:30

  Then you've got the video you can watch over several

• 00:31 - 00:33

  times to kind of help this bill bit more familiar

• 00:34 - 00:34

  with school site.

• 00:35 - 00:40

  So this here is our reception building, But come so

• 00:40 - 00:43

  just inside their own letters where the reception desk is,

• 00:43 - 00:46

  Um, and just on the right hand side inside sporting

• 00:46 - 00:47

  is a Wingfield hall.

• 00:47 - 00:50

  And that's where we hold our assemblies and things like

• 00:50 - 00:56

  that that if you go out off Wingfield building through

• 00:57 - 01:00

  building out the other side, the 1st 1 he will

• 01:00 - 01:00

  come to you.

• 01:01 - 01:03

  Someone called Lancaster not just steam in there, so you

• 01:03 - 01:05

  can see it se.

• 01:06 - 01:07

  This is Lancaster building.

• 01:08 - 01:10

  And in this building is where most of our English

• 01:10 - 01:11

  and science lessons happen.

• 01:13 - 01:15

  There a few glasses elsewhere, but that's where the majority

• 01:15 - 01:17

  of your English and science classes will be.

• 01:20 - 01:23

  No, on the right hand side of that them and

• 01:23 - 01:24

  this is straight in front of you as you come

• 01:24 - 01:27

  to the car park of school is the spots into

• 01:27 - 01:28

  where we have our sports will.

• 01:28 - 01:31

  Then Jim and some are change rooms on the P

• 01:31 - 01:35

  office. So this is where your indoor P lessons will

• 01:35 - 01:35

  take place.

• 01:36 - 01:37

  Just behind on the right are our school fields.

• 01:38 - 01:41

  Okay? Whether actor p lessons take place, lots of you

• 01:41 - 01:43

  might. Before there were this already, you might come up

• 01:43 - 01:47

  to school to dio cross country or played football on

• 01:47 - 01:48

  site and things like that.

• 01:48 - 01:49

  So some of you will be familiar with this building

• 01:50 - 01:57

  on with sports pictures behind it already se just behind

• 01:57 - 01:57

  me on the left.

• 01:57 - 01:59

  And if I am standing in most sports center is

• 02:01 - 02:03

  in front of me on the left hand side.

• 02:03 - 02:07

  Just off, Find me is a building called the Pot.

• 02:09 - 02:10

  Now this is like a smaller version of the canteen

• 02:11 - 02:13

  so doesn't have any seats or anywhere inside to eat,

• 02:13 - 02:15

  but somewhere that you can pop in at break and

• 02:15 - 02:18

  lunch time to pick up things like sandwiches, crisps, drinks,

• 02:19 - 02:20

  cookies, things like that.

• 02:20 - 02:22

  They don't serve lots of hot food in here.

• 02:23 - 02:25

  Um, do you sort of full fish chips and beans

• 02:26 - 02:26

  or anything like that?

• 02:27 - 02:29

  But you couldn't pop in there to get something to

• 02:29 - 02:30

  eat. A break for lunch time.

• 02:31 - 02:33

  If you prefer that to get into the canteen.

• 02:33 - 02:34

  Subtle of it.

• 02:34 - 02:34

  Quieter than the canteen.

• 02:38 - 02:40

  So I've got the pot behind on the left.

• 02:41 - 02:44

  Him. The sports hall is just to my right on

• 02:44 - 02:44

  on the left.

• 02:44 - 02:47

  By this grass is the other side of Lancaster building

• 02:48 - 02:50

  where the science on dhe English lessons are.

• 02:51 - 02:52

  And this is the main paths or walking up through

• 02:53 - 02:53

  the middle of the school.

• 02:55 - 02:56

  Okay, so I walk up his path.

• 02:57 - 02:58

  The first building I come to my left hand side

• 02:59 - 03:00

  is Chilton on.

• 03:01 - 03:04

  This is where our technology lessons happen.

• 03:04 - 03:06

  So you can see from some of the paintings here

• 03:06 - 03:07

  you can see quite upsets us off our area.

• 03:09 - 03:11

  I'm a technology classroom to get our workshops with design

• 03:11 - 03:16

  technology. Downstairs on upstairs, we have some of our food

• 03:17 - 03:19

  rooms for doing food technology with kitchens and things in.

• 03:23 - 03:25

  So where I'm standing here, if I spin around and

• 03:25 - 03:28

  then on my right hand side, I've got a building

• 03:28 - 03:31

  called Johnston and in done stability.

• 03:32 - 03:34

  This is where our months are.

• 03:34 - 03:35

  Also, our Spanish lessons happen.

• 03:36 - 03:40

  So most of downstairs months, classrooms most of upstairs is

• 03:40 - 03:50

  Spanish classrooms, Karen or more camp school Next building, then

• 03:51 - 03:51

  on my left hand side.

• 03:52 - 03:54

  After I've done the art block on all of the

• 03:54 - 03:57

  technology rooms, this is the steps into our canteen.

• 03:59 - 03:59

  Okay, sit in.

• 04:00 - 04:02

  Here is where it's able at break and lunch times

• 04:02 - 04:03

  where you can get food and drinks.

• 04:04 - 04:06

  And obviously this is where you can get your four

• 04:06 - 04:06

  hot meals.

• 04:06 - 04:12

  Unlike, unlike the pot that just behind me, where I'm

• 04:12 - 04:16

  taking this vote to here there's a building called the

• 04:16 - 04:20

  Turtle. What's an outdoor space has a roof and glass

• 04:20 - 04:22

  around it, and you can see the tables and jazz.

• 04:23 - 04:26

  Now it's another space to sit and eat, breaking much

• 04:26 - 04:28

  time or to meet with your friends.

• 04:28 - 04:30

  And the turtle is kind of in the middle of

• 04:30 - 04:32

  the school, So I was age students.

• 04:32 - 04:34

  If you have not sure where you are if you

• 04:34 - 04:35

  go to the turtle.

• 04:35 - 04:37

  Your usual toe work out from there.

• 04:39 - 04:42

  No building where she next is just on the other

• 04:42 - 04:42

  side of the turtle.

• 04:43 - 04:46

  So where the red been is just through the other

• 04:46 - 04:51

  side is a building called G 19 Not for year

• 04:51 - 04:53

  Sevens. This is a really important building.

• 04:54 - 04:55

  This is way ahead of you, Mr Edison.

• 04:56 - 04:59

  Away. A pastoral lead, Miss Stewart, Um, are based.

• 04:59 - 05:00

  This is where their desks are.

• 05:01 - 05:02

  I'm just seeming on the door.

• 05:03 - 05:03

  You'll see.

• 05:03 - 05:03

  You can see.

• 05:05 - 05:07

  So here's base that you can come to.

• 05:07 - 05:10

  If you're worried about things or I don't know, you

• 05:10 - 05:10

  might have forgotten.

• 05:10 - 05:11

  Peak it.

• 05:11 - 05:12

  We need to make a phone call home to parents.

• 05:13 - 05:15

  Are you feeling I'm Well, this is the place that

• 05:15 - 05:16

  you would come.

• 05:17 - 05:18

  Ah, Ms Addison.

• 05:18 - 05:20

  Mr. Aaron, that break times and lunch times.

• 05:21 - 05:25

  If you've got any concerns on someone who usually find

• 05:26 - 05:27

  in there any point today if something has gone wrong,

• 05:28 - 05:28

  you talk to somebody.

• 05:33 - 05:37

  So that's what you want in on it is on

• 05:37 - 05:38

  then just out of shot.

• 05:39 - 05:40

  This picture on the left hand side are some steps.

• 05:41 - 05:42

  If you go up the steps in front of us

• 05:43 - 05:44

  is glossed ability.

• 05:44 - 05:46

  That's one of our biggest buildings.

• 05:47 - 05:48

  Quite a lot of different subjects.

• 05:48 - 05:50

  And here we have all the humanities subjects in here.

• 05:50 - 05:54

  So your history, geography, Ari citizenship.

• 05:56 - 05:58

  All those subjects are in here as well as having

• 05:58 - 05:59

  music on drama.

• 06:00 - 06:01

  So you've got glossed over, which is a big call

• 06:02 - 06:04

  the Jews for drama as well as a drama studio

• 06:05 - 06:05

  in this building.

• 06:06 - 06:08

  And this building goes all the way around right into

• 06:08 - 06:10

  the other kind of side of the school.

• 06:16 - 06:18

  Okay, so just so you can get an idea where

• 06:19 - 06:22

  everything is where I've taken this photo and the steps

• 06:23 - 06:24

  going up to Boston, but it was just showing You

• 06:24 - 06:27

  are behind me On the left hand side.

• 06:27 - 06:29

  Just at the frame is Julie.

• 06:29 - 06:31

  Nine. No, See in front of me here on the

• 06:31 - 06:34

  right, you can see the turtle just over on the

• 06:34 - 06:36

  other side of that, on the right is the canteen.

• 06:37 - 06:40

  The building right in front of me is Gunston.

• 06:41 - 06:42

  Okay. And then you can see the main powerful the

• 06:43 - 06:44

  way back down through the school, Back to the car

• 06:44 - 06:45

  park. There.

• 06:50 - 06:53

  So next this is on the other side the schools.

• 06:53 - 06:55

  If you were to walk away through Gloucester and kind

• 06:55 - 06:58

  of the other side building in front of you would

• 06:58 - 06:58

  be called pit Mom.

• 06:59 - 07:00

  Now this is my building.

• 07:00 - 07:01

  This is the individual Learning Department.

• 07:03 - 07:04

  You can see the site in front here.

• 07:04 - 07:06

  We've got some garden area and it's also our goats

• 07:07 - 07:09

  are. But the Pittman building is where students will come

• 07:10 - 07:13

  for extra support that might be reading lessons, spelling lessons

• 07:14 - 07:16

  on speech and language support on social skills.

• 07:17 - 07:18

  We do lots of different interventions.

• 07:19 - 07:22

  Lots different support on most of those will happen in

• 07:22 - 07:22

  in this building.

• 07:23 - 07:25

  This is where my office is and where I'm based,

• 07:25 - 07:29

  and also where some of my team based you can

• 07:29 - 07:31

  always come here if you need to talk to one

• 07:31 - 07:31

  of us.

• 07:34 - 07:36

  No. On the other side of the apartment building are

• 07:37 - 07:40

  so of our courts they used for netball and tennis

• 07:41 - 07:43

  in P lessons, but a breaks and lunch times.

• 07:44 - 07:47

  This is an area where yes, seven could go and

• 07:47 - 07:49

  they were allowed to go anywhere on the site may

• 07:49 - 07:51

  be in the tattler in the canteen, but we've got

• 07:52 - 07:54

  certain areas for different*** where only that year Group

• 07:54 - 07:58

  can be so in these courts and is just for

• 07:58 - 08:01

  year seven so older your groups can't come and play

• 08:01 - 08:01

  in here.

• 08:02 - 08:04

  So if you wanted somewhere to be just with people

• 08:04 - 08:07

  in your year group this is a place to come

• 08:10 - 08:11

  Just past these calls.

• 08:13 - 08:15

  We have got the Astro turf now, some of you,

• 08:15 - 08:17

  except if you've been involved in sports things or football

• 08:17 - 08:19

  matches and things like that at the school Year of

• 08:19 - 08:20

  Caribbean up here already.

• 08:21 - 08:23

  So this is just behind Pittman on the right hand

• 08:23 - 08:25

  side, just the courts there where the s seven area

• 08:26 - 08:29

  is for breaks and lunch times on this path, going

• 08:29 - 08:31

  down here goes all the way back down to the

• 08:31 - 08:34

  sports pictures on back to the main car park.

• 08:35 - 08:37

  They have gone so of a full circle around the

• 08:37 - 08:37

  school site.

• 08:41 - 08:43

  So that's where some of the main that's our main

• 08:43 - 08:45

  sort of buildings where most of your lessons and things

• 08:46 - 08:46

  will be.

• 08:48 - 08:49

  I hope this gives you a bit more of an

• 08:49 - 08:51

  idea about where things are on site from where to

• 08:51 - 08:52

  find things.

• 08:52 - 08:54

  I'm not expecting you to know your way around completely

• 08:54 - 08:57

  from this video or thinking that this video will mean

• 08:57 - 08:59

  that you absolutely we're going on the first day.

• 09:00 - 09:02

  It doesn't, but I want to give you something to

• 09:02 - 09:04

  the cat and something to make you feel that, but

• 09:04 - 09:08

  more familiar with school site that coming up shortly in

• 09:08 - 09:10

  the next week or so, I will also be sending

• 09:10 - 09:13

  home a video to include some questions that we usually

• 09:14 - 09:14

  get asked by.

• 09:14 - 09:16

  Year six is who a start with us in your

• 09:16 - 09:19

  seven usually will be able to answer those impersonal when

• 09:19 - 09:20

  we see you.

• 09:21 - 09:25

  But at the moment, with schools being closed for most

• 09:25 - 09:28

  people than I think, a video is probably the best

• 09:28 - 09:29

  way to do that.

• 09:29 - 09:31

  So I'll be in touch if you have any questions

• 09:32 - 09:32

  that you want.

• 09:32 - 09:36

  Me Teoh include in the video, then please ask somebody

• 09:36 - 09:38

  at home to email me on, and I'm happy to

• 09:38 - 09:41

  include those questions, and I look forward to seeing you

• 09:41 - 09:41

  will soon
