What Parents and Educators Need to Know about Palworld
On Friday 7th June, the student council met with Mrs Watson to discuss ideas for house competitions next year.
Some year 9 and 10 pupils enjoyed a whole day workshop on Entrepreneurial Skills delivered by the Southern Universities Network. In teams of four, they were tasked with setting up a Festival for under 18s. They had to brainstorm ideas for a theme, design the festival site, create detailed costings to ensure revenue and profit, design a social media marketing programme for their target audience, and create logos and merchandise. The day ended with each group pitching their proposal to the judges and their fellow pupils. The judges chose ‘Flower Fest’ for their attention to detail and going above and beyond their brief, while the pupil vote went to ‘ESports’ for their creative and imaginative festival programme.
Earlier this term, 107 Year 7 and 8 students completed the Junior Maths Challenge paper organised by the UK Maths Trust. The papers are designed to stimulate mathematical problem solving, encourage learners to think outside-the-box and apply mathematical skills learnt in lessons to sophisticated conundrums.
Medical Mavericks came in to school this week and every Year 10 student was given the opportunity to learn about careers in the NHS ( which is over 300 different careers!).
On Monday morning, Chris Evans passed on Mark & Clare's best wishes to all Year 11 students sitting their GCSEs! What a nice message to start this week's exams and a surprise to find out it was two of our own Science teachers - Mr Nicolaides and Mrs Stewart.
