On Thursday 20^th June it was a pleasure to host 25 Year 5 students from Weeke, Harestock, Itchen Abbas, Michledever and Kings Worthy.

The students were nominated by their Primary School to take part as they had been identified as being Gifted and Talented – either academically or in a particular field.

 

The students were given the opportunity to take part in lessons to get an insight into what secondary school life is like.

The day started with a tour. Then they went off to lessons. These lessons were designed to give students new and exciting opportunities that they may not have experienced before and really challenge them to be ambitious in their learning.

 

First up was learning how to decipher codes with some crypto challenges. They then investigated a cold case in history, learnt the art of African drumming, learnt some Mandarin and played some competitive games of badminton!

It was a busy day, and it was a joy to welcome these students to the site.

A big thank you to Taleya, Evelynn, Dominic and Douglas (Year 10) who did an incredible job in helping the students.
