Words of the Week
Monday
Renaissance: The Renaissance was a fervent period of European cultural, artistic, political and economic “rebirth” following the Middle Ages.
Generally described as taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century, the Renaissance promoted the rediscovery of classical philosophy,
literature and art. We now commonly use this word to mean a situation when there is new interest in something and it becomes strong and active
again.
Around the beginning of the 21st century, the area's industry underwent something of a renaissance.
Tuesday
ENGLISH
Inclusive: when used in relation to transactions, this means the inclusion of all the services or items normally expected or required. However, we also
use it to mean the idea of not excluding any of the parties or groups involved in something. You will hear this term quite a lot in the news, as it often
means the idea of providing equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized, such as those
who have physical or mental disabilities or belonging to other minority groups.
The school’s policy was fully inclusive.
Wednesday
Consequence: a result of a particular action or situation, often one that is bad or not convenient. It is the effect or outcome of something occurring
earlier.
Every action has a consequence.
Thursday
Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles that you refuse to change. Individuals who have integrity show an adherence
to moral and ethical principles and a soundness of moral character. This is a highly valued quality in a person.
By being honest with everyone, they did not lose their integrity.
Friday
Vacillation: the inability to decide between different opinions or actions. This is an excellent word to use when trying to explain the indecision of an
individual.
Their inability to decide on a plan demonstrated their vacillation.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Director: Sam Mendes
REVIEW OF THE WEEK: 1917 Cast: George MacKay, Dean-Charles
Chapman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark
Every week, we’ll be featuring one of our reviews from The Sixth Form Reviewer Strong, Colin Firth & Andrew Scott
in the student bulletin. This week’s review comes from Katie in Year 12, where Synopsis: Set in April 1917, on the Western
she reviews the film, 1917. This is currently available to watch on Prime Video. Front, two British soldiers are assigned a
You can view all of our reviews on www.thesixthformreviewer.com tremendously life-threatening task to deliver
an urgent message that will stop 1,600 men
from walking into a deadly trap, being caught
amongst lethal enemy territory.
Review: 1917 is a very successful film, winning numerous prestigious awards, including two Academy
Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and seven British Academy Film Awards. Rightly so – this film excels
in terms of cinematography, mise-en-scene and the score, conveying the harsh reality of World War 1
while also creating an emotional experience for the audience.
The main aspect of 1917 that stood out for me was the incredible cinematography – more specifically
the tracking shots that take up the vast majority of the film with the camera tracking behind or in front
of the actors. This has a huge effect on us as an audience as it makes us feel as though we are part of
the action – this is particularly effective in war films as they are a reality and convey authenticity. Not
only that but 1917 is filmed as if it is one extraordinary tracking single take, again, making us as an
audience feel as though we are part of the action. The tracking single-take style is especially important
in this film as it captures the environment of the characters which is vital as the mise-en-scene –
particularly the setting – has a huge impact in 1917.The Sixth
Form Reviewer
REVIEW OF THE WEEK
1917continued…
The film has true to life, authentic mise-en-scene throughout, including the dominating, dull, earthly toned colours,
the realistic setting of the trenches and battlefields and conventional props of war films, including guns and
explosions. This mise-en-scene is vital as it represents genuine circumstances of the war. The dull colours paired with
explosions and action encapsulates the harsh reality of young soldiers in World War 1. Especially, the iconic long shot
of protagonist, Lance Corporal Schofield (George MacKay), running in No Man’s Land which illustrates how lethal
World War 1 is and the danger these soldiers put themselves through. The lighting is a focal point of the film. With a
lot of the story taking place at night and the lack of artificial lighting, every aspect of natural lighting and radiance
stands out and gives an eerie effect to the film. The natural lighting is used to give maximum realism for this film.
The score, by Thomas Newman, is one of the most celebrated aspects of 1917. The orchestral score, which was
nominated for best original score at the Oscars, conveys just the right emotion in the audience. From slow,
melancholic string instruments in the film’s opening scenes to an intense and exceptional score during the climax of
the film, the soundtrack holds back and peaks at the right points.
Overall, this film was extremely enjoyable. The use of the incredible tracking shots and the feel of single-take evokes
an authentic, realism within the film that touches the audience in a dismal way. The mise-en-scene captures the harsh
reality of a soldier in World War 1 and the score evokes the sorrowful and tense emotions achieved through the
highs and lows of the music.
1917 is currently streaming on Prime Video and was rated 15 by the BBFC.

Smoking is the single greatest preventable cause of death in the world today. There are more than one billion smokers
worldwide- and it kills up to half the people who smoke. No matter how long you've smoked for, no matter how many
cigarettes you smoke a day, your health will start to improve as soon as you quit. Some health benefits are immediate, some
are longer-term, but what matters is that it's never too late!

Personal Development: Gender Equality: #IWD2021 #ChooseToChallenge
The theme for International Women’s Day 2021 (8th March) is choose to challenge.
Think about how people have challenged women’s inequality.
Activism around gender equality became popular in the late 1800s around votes for women and campaigns for
equal pay. New Zealand was the first country in the world to grant women full voting rights in 1893 while groups
like the Suffragists and Suffragettes in the UK campaigned tirelessly for the vote which was granted fully and
equally in 1928.
Fast forward to the 1970s and feminism (equal rights for all genders) was on the rise. Women’s movements over
the next decades served to build women’s confidence, often reinforcing the idea that female success was more
likely if they acted in a masculine way – power suits and shoulder pads became popular. The 1990s and early
2000s saw an increased focus on ‘fixing’ organisations from within (rather than changing women) so women’s
representation in positions of responsibility and authority became important.
More recently there has been an expectation that equality is sought in workplaces and in wider society. Men as
allies to the women’s movement has become popular as everyone works together to stamp out gender
inequality. Women play a vital role in society but are still not always treated equally. This can be down to a
gender pay gap or lesser expectations of the ability of women formed by unconscious biases. In 1975 women in
Iceland decided to show just how vital they were to society.PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
1975 was named International Women’s Year by the United Nations. However, women’s inequality still existed
starkly across the world. Five major women’s groups in Iceland joined to organise commemorative events and
protests over the pay gap – which stood at 40%. On October 24th (United Nations Day) women in Iceland
decided to have a day off to highlight their work. 90% of women refused to do any work between 8am and
midnight. Many schools were closed, newspapers didn’t get printed since many typesetters were female, there
was no telephone service and many flights were cancelled due to flight attendants being largely female. Fish
factories, shops and nurseries were closed and many men had to take a day off to look after their children.
Some men took their children into work with them. No domestic work was completed – cooking and cleaning
had to be done by the males of the household. Women in Iceland had reminded society of the value of their
work.
Shortly after the strike, a gender council was set up and the first female president was elected. Today Iceland
enjoys the highest gender equality in the world in terms of pay, education, parental leave and childcare
(according to the WEF Global Gender Gap Report). However, the fight for women’s equality is not over. We
need to work together to ensure that everyone is valued, regardless of gender. Will you #choosetochallenge?
To mark International Women's Day, the Royal Air Force (RAF) in partnership with Amazing Apprenticeships,
will be running an exclusive free webinar for students in Years 10-13, to explore the incredible apprenticeship
and career opportunities available for them.

COMPUTING
What is Cloud computing and why should you be using it?
At its simplest, cloud storage is a secure virtual space that you can usually access via your browser or mobile app.
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources. This especially relates to data storage. The cloud
does not need any management by the user as stored data is not held locally but online in places called data centres; this is
especially useful to businesses where employees must travel to different countries and to students who may need to access
documents from home.
These data centres are available to many users over the Internet and have names such as OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive etc.
Many cloud solutions are free, for example OneDrive by Microsoft is free with Hotmail and is also free to students at school as
part of the Office 365 suite of tools.
Businesses have a choice depending on their size to use free cloud services or to pay for a service depending on the amount of
storage they need. Cloud storage has many names including cloud backup, online storage, online drives, online backup, file
hosting, file storage and more.
As with all computing systems using the cloud comes with some risk. For example, the actual location of your files is usually in
a data centre somewhere, on a server, on a hard drive or solid-state drive and could be anywhere in the world. There is also the
chance that your data is being managed poorly by badly trained staff, so it is important to know your data is going to be secure
and as free as possible from being lost or even hacked. Recovery of lost data can also be a big issue and can be hard to resolve
so backing up of data must be done frequently and even though backups are normally part of the Cloud service –local back-ups
of sensitive and important data should also be maintained. Another risk is access issues; if you cannot connect then you
cannot access your data/files.Did you know…
COMPUTING
There are however many positives of cloud computing and this has been shown over the past year of Covid-19 lockdowns.
Many people have been able to continue working from home, many using the cloud for storage and sharing documents. For
students, the cloud should be a place you use regularly as part of your Microsoft 365 account. OneDrive is a great place to back
up schoolwork and to access work from home. The cloud is also a great place for backing up your work and the work you have
completed in lockdown ready for when classes get back to normal. The reality is that using OneDrive regularly lets students
enjoy a security and flexibility in how they work and prevents hopefully lost documents, anxiety, and stress. A well-known
reputable service such as OneDrive should be a safe option but remember there are always risks.
Are you using the cloud for keeping schoolwork organised and backed up?
If not, then you should be. Using the OneDrive Cloud is simple, and you can easily access it from your school email account.
Simply click on the square icon that is made up of 9 dots as shown below (usually in the top left-hand corner), you can see the
OneDrive application that looks like a cloud on the right, click on the one drive icon to access your online storage and give it a
go.

• In France a national curfew is in place
between 18:00 to 06:00. Prime Minister Jean
Castex said on February 25 that "the health
situation in our country has deteriorated in
recent days". He said that a lockdown would
only be used as a last resort.
• Children over the age of 6 in France have
been told to wear face masks in classrooms
to prevent the spread of the virus and to
MFL
avoid a national lockdown.
• The French government has demanded
to see England and Ireland's virus
containment plans before it allows France to
travel for Six Nations games. French clubs
have been barred from taking part in the
European competition because of fears over
the spread of coronavirus.
"We absolutely need the necessary
guarantees from these countries," said
sports minister Roxana Maracineanu.
"Other nations' virus framework must
respect the same requirements."
The French government has given the go-
ahead to France's opening fixture against
Italy in Rome on 6 February.

Religion and Philosophy Through Art
I would like to introduce to the new enrichment series for the RE Department, each week we will look at a piece of artwork
from history and consider its impact on the history of art in general, but also focus more specifically on how the individual
painting can unpack our understanding of a particular religious or philosophical theme.
The Portinari Altarpiece (c. 1475) is an oil on wood triptych painting by the Flemish painter Hugo van der
Goes . It measures 253 x 304 cm, and is now in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy.
The painting is typical of the early rennaisance and shows the nativity scene that we often enjoy around
Christmas time. Look at how different this picture shows the nativity scene. There is a vulnerability of the
newly born baby Jesus and a real distance between him and both his mother Mary and Joseph and the
other on lookers
All present are looking down in adoration to the new birth but are distant from the baby . If you want to
