Year Seven History








Year 7 students and I have swapped places... temporarily! They are busy being the teacher and I am enjoying asking all the awkward questions, which makes a nice change!

Each student has been assigned a Medieval monarch and given the responsibility of planning and delivering a half hour lesson to their class. All students have produced, or are producing ,excellent Power Point presentations and worksheets for their students. There have been some fun quizzes and even film clips too.

If you want to know who met their death via a red hot poker, or which king might have murdered his nephews, then ask a Year 7 student. And if they don’t know?... well, I blame the teacher!

Happy Chinese New Year 恭喜发财


To celebrate Chinese New Year,
Y7 & Y8 Chinese Studies students had a chance to make Tanghulu-
traditional winter sweets in Beijing.

Making sugar syrup

Tanghulu- strawberry skewers dipped in sugar syrup.

Tanghulu dipped in ice-water
to have a hardened sugar coating

The taste is a combination of sweet and sour, hmm.... yum!
