Brilliant online Drop Everything and Read Lesson yesterday in A Level Media. We read and discussed an article from The Guardian arguing why Nordic Noir is much better binge watching during lockdown than NCIS, Friends or The Masked Singer!

FOOD BANK
Food and Christmas goodies donated by our wonderfully generous Chace students and families for the Enfield Food Bank. Special thank you to our Sixth Formers for organising the collection.
Psychology
In Psychology, Year 13 students have been learning about localisation of function and hemispheric lateralisation of the brain. To embed their learning they were given the opportunity to carry out a brain dissection on a sheep’s brain and see the location of the different lobes and specific areas such as the corpus callosum and the cerebellum. In doing so they were able to apply and extend their knowledge of the different brain functions that we study in Psychology. Students enjoyed seeing the brain up close! Thank you to the Science department for supporting our students with this.
Happy Diwali from all at Chace!
