Chemistry has taken the school by storm this week. With glow sticks in the junior school, exploding custard in the Lower School, students participating in Chemistry Cluedo at Heriot-Watt University, quizzes, talks and demonstrations from a whole range of Chemists working in different Chemistry related areas and a real extravaganza of a show at Upper School assembly, it has been a colourful week.
Congratulations to Mr Fairhurst and all of his glamorous assistants for a week of science & fun.
The U5s have been looking to the future at their conference on Friday when they gained insights into life and opportunities in the sixth form, as well as hot chocolate and croissants! They were in their own clothes for the first time and getting a taste of real partnership with staff as they consider how they can learn and develop in the next two years. They heard about courses and opportunities which will give them the best possible qualities as well as qualifications with which to make their applications for the next stage of their education. I think it is a revelation to students sometimes that we know them so well, but it is knowing their unique strengths and characteristics which will help us ultimately to make them stand out from other candidates in the application process.
On to next week which is Enterprise Week and offers us assemblies and insights and even our very own Dragon's Den on Tuesday at lunchtime. Hopefully there won't be quite so many explosions. The Nursery were of course ahead of the game as usual and had their enterprise activity this week on Tuesday. They had their farm shop with cakes made by the children and eco friendly goods which the parents bought with enthusiasm.
