Year 13 DP Chemistry students are currently looking at redox reactions. They did a couple of experiments on a microscope slide to see the crystals growing under magnification.
They added copper metal to silver nitrate solution and zinc metal to silver nitrate and copper sulfate solutions. What was seen was the growth of crystals of either silver or copper metal as it was displaced from the solution by the more reactive metal that was added.
The growth of the crystals was visible in real time, and we took some photographs and a timelapse video. It was fascinating to see the reactions happen from a microscopic viewpoint.

[[\media\timelapse2.MOV]]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.
