On Monday we announced our winners for the Global Campus Digital Habitat competition. Fifteen students entered, either individually or as part of a team, to create a protective habitat for endangered animals. There was a huge amount of effort put in by the students; they had to build their habitat from a flat, empty world; add everything that the species would need – from shelter to food sources, prey to play areas and mating zones to water needs; research their animal to understand their needs and also provide a voiceover to introduce and present the habitat they had made. Three runner-up entries were selected: Esme (Year 4) on axolotls, Jasmyne (Year 3) on pandas and Somin / Haeon (year 6) also on axolotls. Our winning school entry, which has been submitted as our school entry to the Global Campus, was by Lena and Lilia in Year 6, focusing on the habitat of ocelots.
Congratulations to everyone who took part, it was lovely watching all the habitats created to protect endangered animals.
Please see the attached video to watch our winning entry!

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.
