Trip on Global Climate Change

This week, the M5 class went on our Individuals and Societies trip to the science museum to enhance our knowledge on global climate change. It was a fantastic exhibition and very informative for the unit we are studying. There were multiple creative games to play in the museum and there was lots of useful information. My class had a great time playing a particular game where we had to block out the greenhouse gases from depleting our ozone. It was a wonderful trip and thanks to Ms. Trautmann for setting it up, it's the best way to learn!

Success in Netball and a Fun Art Trip!

On Thursday, the M1 students got to visit a lino printing art studio, where we were taught the steps of how to produce a beautiful piece of lino printing. We each had a drawing of an endangered animal from Nepal or the UK, and we were taught how to transfer it onto a piece of lino, cut out shapes and designs in them, and finally, print them onto paper and create an exquisite piece of art. It was lots of fun!

This Wednesday, M1, M2, and M3 girls played a home netball fixture against King's school. It was a tough game and everyone played their best, unfaltering, and we managed to score two goals in the last minute, bringing the final score to a draw of 8 - 8.

Visiting Researchers Interview Global Nomads

This week D1 students had a talk from a visiting university researcher about third culture rootless kids. The guest from Heidelberg University asked us about our experiences and what we thought about the sense of home and belonging and about global citizenship.  It was a fascinating topic and one many students could relate to. Thanks to Mrs. Boyle for organising this. We have a second speaker coming in next week to continue the conversation.

Meatless Mondays Planned for Personal Project

As you may know, the M5 students have to complete their Personal Project task, from the end of M4 until the middle of M5. The aim of my project is to raise awareness on vegetarianism, how a vegetarian diet is much healthier for our body and how meat production affects the environment. I've chosen to do three Meat Free Mondays on the dates listed below and have made plans with the school caterers to make this happen.

• January 19th
• February 5th
• February 19th

Your child won't be able to purchase any type of meat as the cafeteria will be going vegetarian for these three days. The students will also be informed about this event during tutor time. If you have any concerns or questions about this event, please send me an email and we will find a solution!
