Year 9 Kew Gardens

This week Year 9 explored the beautiful Royal Botanic Kew Gardens. Students walked through the greenhouses and ventured into the heights of the Tree Top Walk. They also carried out a field study practical using quadrants to assess the number of a specific species in a given area.

African Drumming workshop

Year 8s are taking part in an African Drumming workshop this morning. The pupils are already showing their skills and using key words such as ‘pulse’ and ‘syncopation’ from their Blues and Jazz work, to answer questions.

Year 7 Singing Day

Year 7 spent the day singing together in a Bohemian Rhapsody day, celebrating the music of Queen. Each form performed their own song with soloists, instrumentalists, dancers and special effects to entertain each other and presented their homework projects on Queen for the last few lessons. We were reminded of the 1985 Live Aid Concert, with students donating food to the Enfield Foodbank. Thank you to Mr Carmichael and Ms Davies for all of their hard work. Year 7 are the champions!
