Science Week

The past few weeks have been National Science Month. We used this as a opportunity to celebrate and organise various activities to do with all three sciences.

First off was a lunch time filled with experiments in the senior chemistry lab. Mr Brown (the lab technician) was extremely helpful and helped get all the supplies ready, Romina, Sarah, Alma, Una, Amy and Nour (all students in year 11) were also very helpful and were all in charge of different experiments. This lunch time also gave some of the younger girls going into secondary schools a good idea of senior science.

The next event was a interhouse craft competition, girls throughout the school came to take part. The task was to make a thread spiral move the furthest using tape, some plasticine, a wooden skewer and an elastic band. Green house was victorious but it was still a very fun activity.

And last but by no means least was the interhouse senior science and maths quiz! Lupus did incredibly well with both teams winning in the Key stage 3 and 4 quizzes. This meant Lupus house was awarded 100 housepoints! 

I'd like to say a huge well done to Alma, Elif, Gemma, Arushi and Ellie who took part in the quiz. It's also important to thank Mr Ward, Ms Rajput, Mr Jones, Mr Brown and Ms Lalova for organising these events, the year 11 students mentioned above for their contributions and for any of the girls throughout school who took part.
