Year 9, whilst studying metals, have been looking at ways to prevent rusting. One process of doing this is to electroplate items with another metal. Students looked at the process of doing this and covered various items with copper using this method. If the item was metallic, and attached to the current, the copper plated it. We looked at the difference in mass of the two electrodes – before and after – to show that the copper moved from one electrode to the other. We also looked at the effect that performing the experiment for different times had on the end result.
Hopefully the locker keys will still work!

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.
