Arts Week -Monday

Date: 22nd May 2018 @ 9:40pm

On Monday we wore badges of the 53 commonwealth nations.  We stood in a circle and passed the string from country to country in the order in which they joined the Commonwealth to create this web.  We found out that some countries such as South Africa joined, then left, then joined again! 

What links all the countries is the common language of English along with sharing common values and principles as set out in the Commonwealth Charter.   We also used atlases to locate the different countries and had a guess the country flag competition. 

In the afternoon we drew action poses to show the different sports in the Commonwealth Games.  Then 2 Science teachers and some 6th form students came to class.  We tested different foods for starch and fat. Athletes need the energy from these foods when carrying out their sport.
