An adventure through time

Last week, pupils in Year 7 took a trip to the Royal Society of Chemistry for an event entitled “1001 Inventions: Journeys from Alchemy to Chemistry”. Through various talks and practical experiments, they discovered how the science we now know as Chemistry evolved throughout the ages. Highlights of the trip included workshops on making oobleck – a cornstarch-based substance that acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it – and a workshop on soap and perfume making. The visit was a fantastic opportunity for pupils to learn about chemistry whilst also finding out about the history of science. In the words of the students: “We all loved it and we all came out with a different perspective on science.” Thank you to science teachers Ms. Mummery and Mr. Turner for organising! 

Christmas cheer is here!

On a chilly autumn evening, the 38 members of our school choir, ranging from ages 7 to 13, joined the vibrant University College London student choir to take part in the popular festive tradition of carol singing.

 Gathered at the foot of Bedford Square’s sparkling lit tree, their angelic acapella voices filled the air and spread festive fun and cheer all through the Bloomsbury area.

 Comforted by a warm cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate, the delighted audience of parents, staff, neighbours and friends softly bobbed their heads to the sounds of ‘Up On the Housetop’ and even joined in for the chorus of ‘Silent Night’!

A magical and unmissable annual tradition.
