Science Outreach Sessions

A new Science Outreach initiative was launched this term, giving pupils in Form 2 the opportunity to attend science sessions in the Senior School labs. After an introductory assembly with Lower Sixth A Level scientists, all three classes had a lesson on using Bunsen burners: they learnt how to use them safely, and had an exciting time changing the colour of the flame by using chemical compounds such as copper chloride.

Exploring Ancient Egyptians

This term’s Lower and Upper Prep topic is Ancient Egypt. The children have been learning about scribes, hieroglyphics and the Rosetta stone, exploring Egyptian civilisation and history. They will round off the term with a trip to the British Museum.
