Year 8
Patterdale
The girls’ outdoor learning expanded with their second Senior School trip to Patterdale Hall. The girls braved the gorge walk, went sailing in the sunshine, spent a night under canvas and improved their teamwork and communication skills on the low ropes course.
YEAR 8
Ambleside
In the Summer Term, girls had a lovely sunny field trip to Ambleside to look at the impact of tourism in the village. They enjoyed their walk around the park and were extremely enthusiastic all day. A great bunch of Geographers!
A final field trip for Mrs Waters after 12 years
Spanish Independent Learning
Spanish independent learning activities involved lots of cake as the year drew to a close.
Numbers Game
A fascinating interactive presentation about maths and physics revealed how mathematics is used every day, often without anyone realising it! One of the highlights was meeting MIA the miniature interactive automaton and discovering more about her programming. Year 8 also had fun discovering the maths and physics behind each of the demonstrations and were interested to learn more about the many different kinds of engineering jobs available today. ‘It’s a Numbers Game’ was presented by BAE Systems, the RAF and the Navy.
