We are going to teach you “Le passé-composé”
Year 9 French students have taken the place of the teacher and had to teach le passé-composé to the rest of the class. Not an easy task as it is quite a complex tense. The students had to assess their classmates and self-assess their own lesson. All did very well and some groups displayed some talent for teaching taking their task very seriously. Bravo Year 9!

Year 12 IB Chemistry
Year 12′s IB chemistry students carried out the past 14th of January a practical chemistry experiment on the effects of different salts to flame color. The students collected a number of different salts and proceeded to burn them with the bunsen burners, noting how different salts produced different colored flames when burnt. This characteristic salts and its effects are used in, amongst other things, fireworks. This practical work will have helped the students with their topic “The atomic structure”

Maths Measures
Year 8 have recently been exploring units of measurement and converting between units. Today they estimated lengths, areas, masses and capacity and then measured the various items in order to test their estimates. They will continue working on reading scales and understanding how to make good estimates. A great start to the term Year 8, well done.

They have worked hard at creating posters and providing collection points as well as informing students throughout the school to start collecting and bringing the bottle caps to school.
