Did medieval people have ice skates? How did the Iranian Revolution affect oil prices? Where is Clue 13 for the earth day Scavenger hunt?! Who is king or queen of the Year 7 castle competition? Humanities week has been about the big questions and finding fun ways of getting students to engage beyond the classroom and engage with their peers from all year groups.
Our students used their Humanities knowledge every break time trying to place business logos, famous faces, and national flags and quickly racked up some house points by finishing a series of daily quizzes. Lunchtimes embraced both the collaborative and competitive spirit the Logo match-up Treasure Hunt, Asymmetric trading and Teacher vs Students Family Fued. We also introduced our brand new feature “Medieval Monday” and our Year 7s and Humanities teachers donned medieval garb all day whilst playing the game “Medieval or Not”
This all unfolded against the backdrop of our Humanities Week Trade Game where students buy low and sell…lower as tumultuous market forces from the worlds of History, Geography, Business, and Economics wreaked havoc on investments. The form group with the wisest investment will win and the prizes revealed at lunchtime
Well done to those students who won a prize but more importantly to everybody who has somehow engaged in making the world a better place by participating in Humanities Week!

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.
