Snapshot - Home Learning Edition
17.07.2020
Welcome to our CTS Snapshot - a weekly celebration update. We would like to continue to share the achievements of our students during this uncertain time. Each week we will include new ideas for student challenges to do at home, nominations of students who we are celebrating in each subject, and updates from the home learning team. If you have done a piece of work you are really proud of, or have completed one of our challenges and would like to share it in Snapshot next week, please email this to homelearning@corbytechnicalschool.org with the title of the email being 'Snapshot', including a short description of your work, and we will choose a selection to share.

Virtual Choir
A few of our staff and students have been brave enough to record themselves singing at home so that we could create a virtual choir performance. We have really missed hearing our choir ‘Vox’ rehearse, and were looking forward to them performing in the last assembly of the year. Whilst it is sad that this couldn’t happen in person, we are thrilled that we were able to substitute it in this way.
Thanks to all staff and students involved. Please enjoy watching their performance of ‘True Colours’ by clicking here.
