On Wednesday 18 April Britney Okhiria and Matthew Morris delivered feedback from their Lessons from Auschwitz project. This gave 30 Year 10 students a powerful insight into the Holocaust, a topic which they have studied from their GCSE Germany 1890-1945 module. The experiences of the survivors, the unimaginable trauma of the victims and their loved ones as well as broader lessons of genocide were considered.  Photographs were also shared with participants to add context and familiarity.  Thank you to Britney and Matthew for this informative and very valuable presentation and discussion.

Going into the game we had recently won the Aston league, with the chance to go undefeated so our confidence was up.  The game started pretty evenly with both sides having a chance until we broke the deadlock with Adam Ahmed scoring first.  Shortly after that first goal there was a second from Gavin Shergill putting us in a comfortable position at 2-0 up.  The next goal once again came from Gavin Shergill more or less claiming the game.  It was coming up to half time when Corey Wainwright was fouled leaving us with an opportunity to go into the half 4-0 up. This free kick was then scored by Zane Baker (35 yard screamer) taking us into the half 4-0 up. At this point the game was basically ours, but nevertheless we still wanted more goals and that’s what came.  Nigel Agboola scoring a goal to make the scoreline 5-0.  It was coming to near the end of the match now with the cup in sight and then with one minute left, the game was surely won when Ateeb Ilyas finished the game off with a headed goal.  As a result of winning this game we now progress to the Champions Cup Final where we play the winner of the Erdington cup [John Wilmot] and we hopefully will put our name on another trophy!
