On Wednesday 14th June a group of seven Year 7 students travelled to Palmer Park to participate in the U13 Town Athletics Championships. It was a hot day and for most of the students, their first real experience of competing in the stadium against other schools.
There were seven schools involved from the local area meaning competition was high.
While in conversation, we realised that whilst our curriculum is very enriching, there are a plethora of events not mentioned and that many might not be aware of.
We, Nishitha, Maggie, Mariyam and Roma decided to organise a History Exhibition where students could have an opportunity to research and display some information about a certain topic of their choice.
Eco committee representatives had an opportunity to attend the famous Gaia exhibition by Luke Jerram at the Reading town hall accompanied by Mrs Kaur on Monday 12th June.
Gaia is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. Measuring seven metres in diameter and created from detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface, the artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet, floating in three dimensions.
The Year 8s had an amazing trip to Bushcraft and learnt many new and exciting skills ranging from making shelters to enjoying s'mores by the fire.
We have surely enjoyed this opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the world, and we hope that we have many more chances to get to know our year group and do these activities in the future.
