In Science, we strive to link our lessons to “real-life” and this month we had some fantastic help in doing so from our Year 7 students.

Betul A expertly played Hedwig’s Theme from the Harry Potter movies on the traditional African percussion instrument, the kalimba to demonstrate pitch and sound waves. And while studying digestion, Toby A gave a talk to the class on his life as a Type-1 diabetic. It really brought home the challenges Toby faces on a daily basis and he bravely answered all the class questions with patience and a huge smile on his face.
