It has been another jam-packed week at the school as we head towards the first half-term break of the academic year. House Drama last Tuesday was an exhilarating evening. Each House created a short drama by combining performance skills in acting, singing, and dance to tell the stories of four extraordinary women who were the first to achieve prominence in their field of expertise. In other news, Year 11-13 Art students went to the Tate Modern last week to see the Olafur Elliasson Exhibition. They were also able to explore different media, such as installations and moving image art. Last week the school also celebrated the Royal Society of Biology's annual Biology week with a range of exciting practical activities. Students were able to carry out DNA fingerprinting as part of a Forensics workshop, investigate fish and mammal anatomy, and created 20 new cauliflower clones using tissue culture methods! And finally, Open Day last Saturday was the biggest we have hosted, and it was incredibly successful. The School looked wonderful, the weather was kind, and the performances as part of the presentations were outstanding.
