This term in Year 6, the students have been learning and light and sight. As part of the unit, students get the chance to dissect an eye, to study the structure in more detail and to locate the main parts of the eye. It’s a great opportunity to look at how tough the cornea is and to discuss the reasons for this. To have evidence supporting the pupil being a hole, as it changes from a black appearance to a clear one, once the front part of the eye has been removed from the back! They also get to look through the lens (when removed intact, which can be tricky) to see that everything is upside down, the way images appear on the retina.
Most of the students really enjoyed this practical lesson, having the opportunity to see the features first hand.
Nora (6 Amber)" I liked the opportunity to look inside a real eye and especially looking through the lens."
Vince (6 Amber) "I didn't know before that the pupil was just a hole. I really enjoying cutting the eye."
Doyoon (6 Amber) "I liked looking through the lens at the window and seeing everything upside down. It was the best dissection I've ever done!"

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.
