Form 7 geography field trip to the Olympic Park
Form 7 enjoyed a day at the Olympic Park in Stratford on Tuesday 11th February as part of their studies on urban geography. The boys discovered how the stadium and aquatics centre have been adapted for continued use, how the athletes’ village was transformed into regular housing, and how the whole site is provided with heat by burning biomass in a single combined energy centre. Fieldwork techniques used by the boys included sustainability assessments, land use mapping and pedestrian surveys.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream rolls on
The boys were at the Bhavan Theatre on Monday 10th February for their first rehearsal on location for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Hats off to Mr Darling for finding the venue for the three performances of the production in March.
Team effort
Captain Marvel, Pablo, led the way alongside Inigo and Giuseppe as the Colts came from twenty points down to dispatch local rivals WCCS 35-25 on Wednesday 12th February. Courage, determination and discipline were all evident and the boys refused to give up. Mr Payne was delighted with their approach to the game.
Benediction
The whole school gathered in the Little Oratory on Friday 14th February to mark the end of the first half of the Lent Term with Benediction. Thank you to the Schola for leading the singing and to the all-star Form 7 serving team of Augustin, Lucas, Arthur and Paul.
