Year 7, as part of their Cells unit, has been looking at specialised cells. These are cells that have special adaptations to do a specific job in animals and plants.
For a fun way to learn about these, the students did some research on one type of cell and drew their chosen cell on a piece of polystyrene sheet (a Shrinkle®), this was then heated in an oven for a few minutes and became more ‘cell sized’.
You can see the comparison sizes in the pictures. A lot of “wow”s and “oohs”s were heard as they were heated.

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
