Head's Newsletter 13 December 2019

On 28 November the whole of Year 7 visited the Science Museum. They thoroughly enjoyed the museum’s fantastic hands on attraction – the Wonderlab. This was followed by visits to a range of galleries including ‘Top Secret’ where they discovered the remarkable world of codebreaking, were able to see an original enigma machine, and learnt about the topical issue of cybersecurity.

On 28 th November, Year 8s went to Fishbourne Palace for Stop The Clock Day. We were able to look around the palace; it really was a brilliant archaeological site. Throughout the day we also had the opportunity to learn more about the site and the Romans through workshops about Roman schools and archaeology. Additionally, we toured the Fishbourne museum, learning about Fishbourne’s past, and looked at mosaics that were found when the site was excavated. On this trip, we also started filming a Grand Designs-based Fishbourne Palace video, intending to ‘sell’ the palace to a lucky new owner. Thanks go to Mrs Attenborough for organising such a fabulous trip. Harvey Walsh-Whitfield 8SW
