If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary , you will find it means “to bring into being, to cause something each of us does daily to exist”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings.It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world.This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地), as well as taste, when we plan a meal.Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things.There is nothing new under the sun. The creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results.To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.(257 words)

Dear Parents,
As we start the second half of the spring term, I thought it important to update you on some key developments.
Post-16 Collaboration(合作)
We have entered into an exciting new collaboration with Bassaleg Comprehension School, Duffryn High School, St Joseph’s High School, and Coleg Gwent—The Newport West Post-16 partnership. We will be working together to deliver nearly 40 different courses at other schools and likewise, students from other schools will study some subjects here. Information about the courses available to students can be found on the partnership website www. Newftartwest. corn. uk.
Uniform
I would take this opportunity to remind all parents that students are not permitted to wear non-school uniform cardigans (开襟羊毛衫) in Newport High School. It is the responsibility of parents to make sure your son or daughter wears the correct uniform to school. This includes completely black shoes. Over the next half term we will be working with students to develop a cardigan with the school logo which will provide an alternative to the current school jacket.
School Catering.
We are currently seeking a new company to provide school meals. Our new catering provider will be in place at the start of the summer term and will be working with students, parents and staff to provide improvements to our current provision. I look forward to keeping you updated on this development.
Some key dates for you to be aware of over the next half term are:

Year 9&10 Revision Conference

I moved to this small town at the age of twelve.After getting  36   in our new house and starting school,I began to explore the   37  area.I was exploring the pond when I discovered the fish.
There were two of them,one about a foot long,  38  the other just a little smaller,and they were the most beautiful fish I had  39  seen.They had blue and yellow and red  40  from head to tail.Before they saw me,they swam  41  over the sand just under the front edge of the large cedar(杉)tree which had long before fallen  42   the pond.
I went back the next day after school  43   with about six feet of fishing line and a hook borrowed from our elderly neighbor.and half a dozen worms I had   44  out of the garden.We did not own any fishing tool,and   45  a city kid,my fishing experience, had  46  week long visits to my relatives.
I took a shortcut  47  some fallen cedars on my way to the pond.As I was climbing over one tree and ducking under another,I  _48  my footing,and my soup can of worms went flying into the air.My  49   was only increased when I noticed that my worms had disappeared.
