When students return after half term we will be hosting our first STEAM week. This will encourage students to think about careers and promote valuable skills required for their future.

Activities taking place include:

• Virtual STEM morning for Year 8 (working with the PPMA)

• Medical Mavericks for Year 9

• Guest Speakers for Year 10-13

• DT Careers morning for Year 9 (an exciting range of fashion, textiles, product and industrial designers who will run workshops throughout the morning)

The following week is Bebra Coding Competition, open to all year groups, if students would like to participate, please see Mr Bedwell.

Year 7 students have more events to come, including an Arts careers afternoon and an Army STEM day.

Finally, if you have a career in STEAM we would love to hear from you, it would be wonderful if you could share your experiences with Presdales students. Please email nwarburton@presdales.herts.sch.uk or jstephenson@presdales.herts.sch.uk

Well done to everyone who competed at the Interhouse Swimming Gala on Friday. It was a great day with lots of competitiveness and house spirit! Our final event of the day was Freestyle Championship where students choose to compete for the annual trophy!

It involves students swimming freestyle for 100 yards (4 lengths) in the quickest time – competing against all age groups. Over 20 students competed in the heats before lunch and the quickest 4 in the final were Teah Gregory, Autumn Shine, Katie Gorman and Olivia Wright. Congratulations to Teah Gregory in Year 9 who won the Freestyle Championship for 2022!!

‘Us two’ by A.A Milne

The Year 7 Russian class and our partner secondary school in Russia have created a collaborative work with students from both schools reciting the poem ‘Us two’ by A.A Milne in English and Russian. Friendship is very important in times like this, so the teachers thought this was the perfect poem. The languages department are so proud of the year 7s who have learnt to read so confidently from the Cyrillic script this year.

Year 7

In their last lesson of the year 7MRU enjoyed ordering themselves pancakes with a variety of fillings in their make-believe cafe in room 18. They also filmed some excellent Oscar worthy dialogues in a cafe whilst they were waiting to be served.
