Year 7 Interprets Ashes57 Art Style – Superb!

12th June 2024Mrs S Field

Ashes57 is an accomplished photographer, illustrator and designer; here is a collage from some of our Year 7 interpretations of her style incorporating, cityscapes, landscapes, thinking of form and perspective, detail and spots of colour……it’s visually very striking!

A distinctive visual style links her illustration, painting and print work – images which are dense and detailed with fine and intricate lines. Her complex cityscapes, rendered in a largely monochromatic palette with an occasional burst of colour, are playgrounds for a revolving cast of DJs, musicians and revellers.

Middlesex Athletics Results

11th June 2024Mrs S Field
Congratulations to our three EGS students who competed last week in the Middlesex Athletics ESAA Qualifiers.
They came in 6th, 7th and 9th and, unfortunately, did not qualify for the England National Athletics event as they only take one competitor from each county.
However, coming in 6th, 7th and 9th in the whole of Middlesex is still an incredible achievement.
Well done boys!

Congratulations to our Y10 Bronze DofE Boys!

11th June 2024Mrs S Field

Qualifying Expedition …….Done!!!

We are delighted to say that all the boys passed this section of the award over the weekend with flying colours – it was wonderful to see all the skills they had learnt put to the test, their resilience and camaraderie; teamwork and empathy.

A huge congratulations to them all!

Only the finishing up of a few activity sections and we will be in the position to award some Bronze certificates and badges very soon…. :-))

Now, who’s signing up to do their Silver Award?!

 

Year 10 National Space Centre Visit

10th June 2024Mrs S Field

Year 10 pupils recently had an ‘out of this world’ experience when they travelled to the National Space Centre in Leicester!

In this immersive visit they wandered through galleries and exhibitions, seeing real life rockets and an actual piece of the Moon!

Whilst there, our students took part in an interactive workshop using maths, computing and problem solving skills to program the LEGO NXT rovers to complete challenges on Martian terrain mats.

They also attended a very impressive presenter-led show in the full dome, 360 degree St. Patrick Moore Planetarium, based on space and how astronauts are adapted to completing missions in such extreme conditions.

May: Mental Health Awareness Month

24th May 2024Mrs S Field
The Month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
This month there has been a display in the library for pupils shadowing the Penguin Books coverage that is all about ‘movement and the many ways it can improve your wellbeing and quality of life’. Harnessing the power of movement the display promotes the best reads and resources.
With Half-Term upon us, not only can you indulge in some reading, but you can also take the wellbeing advice to get ‘moving’; exercise, walk, play sports etc…… especially good advice for all those in the midst of exams who will be spending much time revising…..
Wishing you all a healthy half-term break.

Future Frontiers…

24th May 2024Mrs S Field

Another trip into London for some of our pupils on the Future Frontiers programme. A valuable opportunity delivered to students by the charity Future Frontiers, who offer coaching, advice and guidance to help young people realise their potential and support further education from age 16. This includes business coaching and exploring various career interests to produce a personalised action plan.

And, in addition to this, the boys get to see some of our iconic London landmarks!
