From the Head Girl

THE BEETHOVEN CHALLENGE This year marks the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth.

Trying to adjust from learning in a classroom surrounded by friends, to sitting alone staring at a screen in my bedroom was quite challenging. Laughing with my friends in Maths whilst Mr Njoroge shouts at us yet again as we beg for an early break (so we can beat the rush for samosas on a Monday), and once we are finally released at the end of the lesson sprinting to the break area trying to get the last samosa, is an environment which cannot be recreated through a virtual classroom. But it is comforting to see that even through a screen we all still find ourselves laughing, bonding, and learning at the same time with the occasional ‘early lunch’ thrown into the discussion.

ZOOM SECURITY

After a week and a half of virtual classes, there is no doubt that I still need more time to get used to this new setting, however my teachers have made this transition easier. Our teachers are more considerate when it comes to redoing online task and giving us as many opportunities possible to better our grades which I am sure is appreciated by all the pupils.

Some of you are aware that Zoom has been hacked several times this year.

It is nice to know that our teachers do miss us, even though they would never admit to this on a normal day!

This is due to the explosion in traffic, making Zoom an attractive target for hackers.
