Form 2's STEM Project Lent 2021

Mar 2021
Our Form 2 classes benefit from a Wednesday afternoon of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) every week throughout each of the three terms. During non-Covid circumstances, the children are able to use the extensive facilities on offer at Senior House in our two Science labs and computing suite. Since returning to school they have continued with the STEM project they began during remote learning on plants and plant growth. This has been combined with two other projects, one centred around coding with micro:bit mini computers and the other on investigative teamwork structural challenges. 
Year 8 pupils in their Zoom film of the Passion Play, retelling the Easter story

Sixth Form's Zoom 'Passion Play' Film 2021

Mar 2021
Every year the ‘Passion Play’ is performed by the whole Sixth Form year group at the end of the Lent Term. This important milestone for children who are midway through their final year before leaving for their senior schools, is not only a retelling of the Easter story itself, but also a significant step in their development as communicators, learning to engage with serious subject matter in a thoughtful and sensitive way. Undaunted by the restrictions of the pandemic and the national lockdown which closed schools across the country for over two months, the children and staff instead created a film version of their play, recorded with each actor in their own homes, using virtual backgrounds and Zoom technology. The result is a film which delivers the pathos of the Easter story while demonstrating the creativity of a school which values the contribution each child can make.

The Easter bunny will love KG's colourful paper eggs hanging from all the branches in their garden for all to enjoy. Shhh...don't tell anyone but some have even been hidden, will they be found before the Summer term? #easter https://t.co/9IAY7bDa7H

Spring has sprung - quite literally - with F1's paper techniques which they used to make their #Easter bonnets look so unique! Spirals, pinwheels, quilling, fringes, cones, folding & pop-outs & controlled tearing are just some of the paper structures they made. #design #paper https://t.co/btYAGRMWEa
