Mrs McPartland has been teaching EYFS students Japanese. The girls can now introduce themselves in Japanese, ask someone their name, sing nursery rhymes, count & more. They are so comfortable with what they've learnt, the girls taught Sixth Formers some Japanese before half term.

Volkswagen put on a fantastic workshop for our Year 5 students today. The team talked about the processes involved in getting a car on to a garage forecourt from sourcing components through to marketing the finished car. The girls were then tasked with designing their own car!

Earlier this week girls in Year 4 were investigating the changes in the weight of gases. The girls predicted which liquid they thought had the most carbon dioxide in and then investigated how this changed throughout their experiments. As you can see... it was a lot of fun.
