- SCIENCE - EMBARK ON A SPACE ADVENTURE
- HISTORY - GET READY FOR A HISTORICAL JOURNEY!
The day at our school begins with a lively gathering, embarking on an exciting journey with space-themed icebreakers and interactive games. We then venture outdoors for hands-on experiment sessions, where students in small groups investigate gravity principles through pendulum experiments and engage in a biodiversity scavenger hunt, exploring the essentials for life on other planets. This is followed by collaborative projects where students create paper rockets, delve into the principles of physics and aerodynamics, design experiments for the International Space Station, and contemplate the impacts of living in space. The afternoon brings a thrilling surprise with a space-themed adventure, filled with challenges and fun. The day concludes with a special event where students present their scientific experiments and discoveries, celebrating their teamwork and the successful completion of their Space Exploration Mission.
Embark on a thrilling journey to explore the past, visiting some of history's most exciting periods. We begin by delving into the skills required by historians and archaeologists, questioning the importance of critical thinking and analyzing various historical sources. Our first destination is Ancient Egypt, where we decode hieroglyphs and create our own stories. As we travel through time, we arrive in the 12th century, coinciding with the establishment of Oxford University and the city's growth in significance. Here, we explore the reasons behind Oxford's rise and imagine life in medieval Oxford. The afternoon brings an unexpected twist with a surprise historical adventure, revealing some of Oxford's hidden secrets. Our day culminates with the 'Showtime!' event, where students proudly present their historical projects, including diary entries written as if they were historical residents of Oxford.
