Year 7

The year began with a trip to Patterdale, making memories that no will doubt last a lifetime. Activities included canoeing on Ullswater, scaling the indoor climbing wall and strengthening friendships through team-building.

Mission Christmas

A sponsored silence in the Autumn term raised over £3,700, which Year 7 used to support Hits Radio’s Mission Christmas. The charity reps visited a local toy shop for a lunchtime ‘trolley dash’ and the items they purchased were donated to the appeal, which provides Christmas presents to less fortunate children in the Manchester region.

Formby Sculpture

Despite the breezy, cool conditions (and the unforecasted rain), Year 7 had a great field trip using anemometers to discover the microclimate of the beach and the dunes, investigating the natural ecosystem of the area, and spotting red squirrels. They finished the day with a geographical sand sculpture competition, which was won by the group who combined the ecosystem and location with a current hot topic - plastic pollution.

Spanish Cookery

After their exams, the whole year group took part in a morning of Spanish cookery with Mrs James and Mrs Barrow. Girls prepared and cooked a range of tapas dishes including Paella, tortilla and Spanish orange cake. It was a great morning learning about the different dishes and of course eating them at the end!
