20 MayAcle Taskmaster Gameshow Three of our Year 11 students organised and filmed a Taskmaster-inspired game show at Acle Academy to raise money for our Canopy Campaign. https://www.wensumtrust.org.uk/acleacademy/canopy-appeal Our contestants were Mrs. Jacotine, Mr. Frost, Mr. Kennedy, Miss Kent and Miss Cunliffe - who even appeared as David Attenborough! The challenges included tasks such as "Paint a self-portrait without using your hands", "Rub a rubber out", "Make a costume for the fish", and "Get to the other side of the room without using your feet." The final live task took place on stage in front of students, with contestants attempting to make the weirdest noises without being detected by the host. After a brilliant competition, Mr. Kennedy was crowned the winner with the highest number of points! Congratulations and well done to all the teachers who took part. A huge thank you to Alex , Toby and Daniel for organising and filming the event, and to Miss Pring, Alfie and all the other helpers for supporting the production and helping backstage. #acleacademy
