Normal lessons are being suspended next week to enable our students to engage in a range of enrichment and sporting activities.
Year 10 students will be engaged in STEM activities over the three-day period. In addition to designing and testing Vitamin C experiments on fruit and vegetables, they will also be conducting Acid Base Titration experiments. On Wednesday, led by our very excited Head of Science, Mr Brozny, they will be busy building robots.
Year 9 will be taking part in humanities and art enrichment activities. There will be a geography field trip to east London and a walking tour of historic London. A classics group will remain at school to decorate homemade Greek vases. Prospective art, photography and textile students will be admiring the works of art in the Tate Modern. The delights and challenges of sporting activities await the year group on Wednesday.
Year 7 and 8 students will be subjected to fresh air and fitness by being involved in sporting activities for all of the three days. In addition to football, cricket, tennis, athletics and other healthy pursuits, the students will also be involved in team-building activities.
During the week, Year 7 and 8 will also be involved in workshops organised by Stand Up! Education Against Discrimination. The workshops will explore racism and discrimination more broadly by looking at the Equality Act. They will be considering what is Islam and Judaism. They will look at the definition of antisemitism and stereotypes of Jews. They will consider the definition of anti-Muslim hate and stereotypes of Muslims. They will discuss how victims may feel and watch testimonies. They will also investigate the different types of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim incidents which have been recorded. Lastly, they will ask what can we do about this issue and how we report hate crimes.
On Thursday, all students will be competing in Sports Day in an effort to win more points for their houses.
