Secondary Weekly Updates (22/8 - 26/8)

In English

We’ve introduced a library subscription service for Year 9 form groups.

Students have completed a MS Form explaining what they like to read and their favourite books, and the librarians are choosing books for them based on their interests.

In Humanities

In Humanities Year 7, the students have had an exciting introduction to the year. They’ve started looking at geography and considering what it is and why it’s so important in their lives. Next week they will enjoy a talk by Climate Talks Hanoi to further enthuse them for the topic.

In Humanities, Year 8, the students have started by looking at History and have been looking back at Richard III and whether he was guilty in the disappearance of his two nephews. The students have loved moving around the classroom and looking for clues to the answer this puzzling part of history.

Global Perspectives

In Year 11, students have started planning their Team Projects. They’ve included some interesting topics to research, including, water scarcity, gender equality and mental health. The class have enjoyed getting to know each other and working in teams, having just joined the school.
