Assemblies with the theme of ‘Innovation’ were run by Mr Searle, and these seamlessly dovetailed with British Science Week. From Wednesday onwards, the assemblies were rather poignant as well as being inspirational.
Thursday witnessed Maya and Vinija turning a copper coin, first silver, then gold, even giving out the coins to those who came to watch. This was followed by a spectacular fire show that enthused even the most hardened of Year 11 boys!
The Bushey Tucker Trial hit the quad on Friday and was a suitable finale for the week. Four contestants, Archie (Y10), Mo (Y10), Kisho (Y11) and Freddie (Y10) were the first four pulled out of the bag and brave enough to take part. They battled it out by chowing down on curried beans, hot radishes, a raw onion, a lemon, chilli peppers and then finally, the possible future of human protein consumption, insects! Meal worms, buffalo worms, crickets and grasshoppers were the delicacies on offer and it was Kisho who managed to prove his worth and take top prize. Well done, Kisho!
Many thanks must go to all the Y12 students who helped to organise the events, the science staff and other teaching staff of the school who supported all the events and all students who participated to help us with such an array of exciting events for this year’s celebration of science.
We are already planning next year’s event, so if you have any ideas, do drop into L-block!
