Year 8 Lime have been learning about the Trojan Horse and have thoroughly enjoyed building their own in class.
The end result was almost as big as some of the children.
It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm, and the creativity of the staff, in bringing the lessons to life.
Students have been working hard, planting bulbs ready for the spring.
Dylan and Aleks produced some amazing creative accounts in their extended writing class. Aleks confidently read his aloud, explaining how various creatures killed their prey, with much enthusiasm.
Students have been honing their riding skills on a bicycle in Year 10. They have been taking advantage of our new playground area and mock road.
A group of Performing Arts students were lucky enough to travel to London on Wednesday to see a new production of Roald Dahl’s ‘The Witches’ at the National Theatre. We travelled by train and walked along the river Thames to the South Bank Centre. We had amazing seats in the stalls and the students loved the show. “Brilliant”, “amazing”, “fantastic”, “scary” and “not scary” were all used to describe the production! Well done to everyone who attended, you were a wonderful group.
Year 7 are conducting experiments around floating and sinking. We designed and built boats and then tested them on water.
Year 7 used the claw and bridge grips to safely cut potatoes whilst following a recipe to make Dauphinoise potatoes.
Year 8 Lime have been learning about solids, liquids and gases in Science. They did an experiment were they turned water into ice cubes and then blew air (gas) into straws to create bubbles.
Cllr Richard Roberts, Leader of Hertfordshire County Council, was given a tour of the new classrooms and enhanced outdoor provision on Wednesday 17 January by students at the school.
He said: “It was fantastic to be shown round by the pupils, hearing how much they are enjoying the school’s new spaces, and to see them benefitting from our investment.”
This week the Year 10 have been experimenting with different light sources. They have learnt that white light is made up of lots of different colours; the colours of the rainbow. They have also used refraction glasses which separate the light sources around us.
