On Monday 20th May, Year 7 took part in a special Super Learning Day, answering the question ‘What makes the Coast Special?’ through three different disciplines: Media (Photography and Film), Creative Arts or Science.
They visited the beach to take photographs and video footage before returning to school to work on their creative work, they also produced beach sculptures and the students who elected the Science option visited the Blue Reef Aquarium.

Digital Kitchen Event
10 Students from the Polyglot (Many Languages) Club had the opportunity to attend a European language learning project called LanCook. They took part in a series of language learning exercises by following recipes and working in a digital kitchen. After having a test run in English, making scones, the students followed instructions in Italian to make ‘involtini alla contadina’, using kitchen equipment linked up with sensors. The digital kitchen functions in a similar way to the Nintendo Wii, giving instructions and monitoring progress. The best way to monitor progress in this case was in the tasting. You can find out more about Lancook on the university’s website.
