DAY 1
Day 1 of our Summer School for our new Year 7s, and we started the week with a Sports Day. Our students engaged in a mini Olympics, which included netball, football and sports hall athletics. After combining all the points tallied throughout the day, it was France who took the gold medals who accumulated 67 points. The students had a fantastic day.
DAY 2
Day 2 of Summer School was packed with creativity, skill building and fun! Students explored their creative side in Design Technology, using specialist software to design their very own dream houses. They also put their baking skills to the test by making delicious cakes, and there was plenty of energy left for an exciting game of dodgeball to round off the day.
DAY 3
Day 3 of Summer School, our students became young scientists for the day, exploring a range of exciting practical experiments. They used Bunsen burners to investigate how different foods burn and measured the temperatures produced, developing their scientific enquiry skills along the way. We may also have some future police detectives among us! Students explored how fingerprints can be identified and analysed, before carrying out chromatography experiments to separate and compare different samples. It was a fantastic day of discovery, investigation, and hands-on learning.
DAY 4
Day 4 of Summer School took our students offsite to Southport Marine Lake’s Waterside Lodge for an exciting day of water sports. Students had the fantastic opportunity to take part in a variety of challenges, including kayaking, dragon boating, and sailing. They thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills and taking responsibility for navigating their own boats and kayaks, showing confidence, teamwork, and determination throughout the day. Of course, no water sports day would be complete without a few students ending up in the water! Fortunately, this only added to the fun and laughter, making the experience even more memorable.
