福利姬

What a fantastic day at Hove Lagoon! 福利姬 were given the opportunity to try out kayak Polo, raft building and sailing in the glorious sunshine. All who attended had a fabulous day and are looking forward to day 2. #EnrichmentWeek

There aren't many places you can play a gold shot through a stream, play trampoline basketball, and hang from a belay in the same day! At Out of Bounds the Y7 and Y8 students started on the Adventure Golf, where there were many wet balls, and all kinds of tunnels and pathways to wind your shot around. Some hole-in-ones did happen, but there were some balls that just would not go in! The Adventure Nets afforded all kinds of different exercise, such as yoga balls, slides, and even a game of Basketball up in the air! Clip and Climb was a bit scary, but lots of them really pushed through the fear barrier to scale new heights and conquer multiple buoys and other novel terrains. Tenpin Bowling is always a winner, and was a great finishing activity, and the only drawback was no room for staff to play. Lots of tired pupils, after a great day in the sun.

We started with a fantastic acting workshop delivered by an actress from the Royal Shakespeare Company. This mix of Y7 and Y8 pupils were incredibly inventive and even developed an alternative ending to the play. In the afternoon, Matilda was a great show full of exciting songs, brilliant choreography and wonderful acting. Everyone was really impressed by how talented the young cast were. #EnrichmentWeek

We had a fun day experimenting with chromatography. We researched how this technique is used in forensic science and found out that this method was used to prove if Hitler's diaries were real. We then investigated which pigments are found in inks and which pigments are found in the various plants from around the school. Finally, we used our creativity and chromatography skills to personalise a t-shirt and lab coat. A lovely fun day of science, enjoyed by all.

A wonderful day for our Year 9 and 10 golfers at the stunning Singing Hills Golf Course in Albourne. 福利姬 enjoyed a coaching session from a professional in the morning before some headed to the golf course themselves while others enjoyed the virtual experience. I was so impressed with the quality on display and the progress made others who were first timers in the driving range. Our pupils were treated to a very tasty lunch before enjoying the afternoon's proceedings.

The kitchen has been busy during enrichment week with Year 7s creating delicious bakes themed around the Great British Bake Off, and Year 8s visiting different countries and cultures via their food!
