👩🍳 This morning, they took part in a tapas workshop, learning to prepare some delicious traditional dishes including:
🥔 Patatas Bravas
🥗 Ensaladilla Rusa

Everything was thoroughly enjoyed during the tasting session afterwards (with some very happy faces all round! 😄)

Science Rocks – Literally!
Our STEAM Club members got hands-on with geology and explored the fascinating world of igneous rocks – and yes, science really does rock!
Using a special chemical that changes from liquid to solid at 45°C (and forms crystals!), students modelled the formation of both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks:
🧊 Small crystals formed when the chemical cooled quickly on an iced slide – modelling extrusive rocks.
🌡️ Large crystals formed when cooled slowly on a room temperature slide – modelling intrusive rocks.
The highlight? Watching crystals grow in real time under the microscope with Mr Phillips! 👀✨

Year 8 Ceramics – Creativity Taking Shape!
Our Year 8 Art students have reached an exciting stage in their ceramics project! After carefully crafting and firing their clay pieces in the kiln, they’ve now moved on to the painting phase and the results are already looking fantastic!
From bold colour choices to intricate details, each piece reflects the unique creativity and vision of its maker. It’s been a joy to watch these artworks come to life!
Next up: glazing – which will give the pieces that glossy ceramic finish and bring this incredible project to a brilliant conclusion. We can't wait to see the final results!
