Spoken word performance poetry

13th October 2021Miss A Masih

This week we had a performance poet, Rob Reeves a local Leicester poet work with our Year 9 students on spoken work poetry. Students really enjoyed the opportunity to craft and perform their poetry using the mic.

“I enjoyed the performance poetry workshop because I got to write and perform my own poem and we also got to listen to Rob perform.” Naomi

 

Diwali

8th October 2021Mr R Gohil

Diwali is the annual celebration by Hindus, Sikhs, Bhuddhists and Jains that celebrates the victory of ‘good’ over ‘evil, as told by the story of Rama and Sita. It also signifies the start of the Hindu New Year. This year Diwali falls on 4th November 2021. The actual day differs every year due to the calendar based on the moon cycle. At Bosworth Academy, Diwali will be celebrated through assemblies, traditional food in the cafeteria, students wearing traditional garments and traditional music to see students to their buses at the end of the day.
