Geography – Year 7 Trip to Edale

  By

Yesterday, some of our year 7 Geographers visited Edale in the Peak District to conduct a river study. They carried out fieldwork on two different parts of the river. This included measuring the width and depth of the river, the velocity (speed) and also taking sediment samples. All of the students were involved in the fieldwork, and it was a great way to link some of their knowledge they had learnt on the topic of rivers in lessons to a real-life example!

All students have been informed and introduced to these changes via assemblies this week, and will be reminded again in September.

At the bottom of the page is a PDF of ‘Expectations’ that has been explicitly explained to students this week as ‘non-negotiables’.

Reading Group – Louie Stowell

  By
Year 7’s from Mrs Sergeant’s reading group were treated to a fantastic session with Louie Stowell, author of the bestselling Loki books yesterday morning! The students thoroughly enjoyed it asking her some really tricky questions!

 

She emailed afterwards saying ‘Lovely to chat to the pupils! And VERY impressed with Jackson who spotted something I hadn’t fleshed out properly. If I go into that in a following book I will credit them! ‘

 

She finished the session introducing them to her dog Buffy!
