Year 12 French Speaking Festivals

This week our Year 12 French students researched a variety of festivals in French speaking countries as part of their A Level course.

During a very successful Google Meet lesson, they presented their festival to the rest of the group.

Four of the presentations are below (more will follow next week) and include a slide in English providing information about the festivals to non-French speakers, followed by a slide in French (please swipe if you are using a mobile device).

You will also be able to hear our students’ presentations by clicking on the speaker icon.

Enjoy!

Year 9

Mrs Davies’ Year 9 French group have been working on structures followed by the infinitive such as ‘il est important de’ and ‘il est essentiel de’. They are often used for expressing rules or giving advice. To practise all these useful phrases they created a poster on rules and advice for lockdown.

The example is by Elodie Simpson McKay.

This week in Maths for Year 7 classes 7Alpha, 7A, 7Beta and 7B and Year 8 classes 1A, 1B and 1C have been taking part in the Presdales Lockdown UKMT Mathematical Challenge. We will announce certificate winners in the next couple of weeks.

Year 10

This week we worked on inequalities and how to solve them. The final part of this weeks work was to complete some exam style questions shown in the photos. Also there was an extension task on factorising. As shown here on the website ‘Transum’, there are different levels to complete and Emma Tammadge (work below) completed level 9 which is factorising in double brackets – fantastic work.

Miss Murrell

This is some Year 10 work on rearranging equations and a starter activity on revising key skills. Work shown here by Lottie Meggison and Alana Poole-Long.

Mrs Thompson

From English …

Year 7

The task was to create a fictional detective and write an extract from a story, introducing the character and their working methods.

Clara Thorpe has written an inventive piece and the care she has taken with her editing is particularly impressive here!

A fantastic piece of English work from Madison Scully in which she has created a convincing Detective investigating a suspicious crime.

A brilliant piece of English work from Amelie Wiltshire in which she has created an intriguing Detective and a crafty suspect with a peculiar accent.

From Science …

Year 7

This week we have been looking at light and colour. So how light mixes differently to paint and that every colour we see is a mix of Red, Green and Blue. And the students also had an introduction to colour Filters.

The big activity was to draw on which colours (Red, Green or Blue) would be absorbed or reflected so we can see the colour given. And then there was a summary activity to apply what was covered in the lesson.

Below is Laila Miza’s work which she wrote really nicely in her book. She impressed me with her layout and effort.

And Tabitha Hawkins work that she printed on the sheets. Tabitha impressed me with her answers and how she used her knowledge from the previous weeks learning.

And Isabella French’s work is absolutely brilliant as well, her work is excellent, she has used knowledge from last week and has laid the work out really clearly.

All of their work impressed me with the accuracy and the details of their answers.

Ms Dixon

From RE …

This week in RE the Year 9s have been learning about the Buddhist concept of pratityasamutpada – dependent origination. This is the idea that everything has cause and effect; in the physical world, socially and psychologically, and spiritually. Our actions, behaviour and intentions generate karmic energy which in turn affects our rebirth after we die. This is depicted in the Wheel of Life, and the students have been drawing and labelling their own wheels to show this.
