Dr Henric Atlink, Chairman of the Board of Studies in History says “In a department such as ours it is the students who make our work continually stimulating and interesting. We have enjoyed having Maximilian with us for the last three years”.

This time the visit was for 13-16 years old, and the task again was to synthesise and purify aspirin. The ability of such young pupils to rise to this challenge undaunted was amazing. The pupils all enjoyed the experience as did Dr Watson and Mrs Packham who accompanied the pupils. We are continuing our link with Warwick’s chemistry department and have our next lower school visit planned for Tuesday 29th March 2011. In the ....

The pupils enjoyed making solutions change colour, causing their reactions to become hot and cold, as well as making a rainbow in a test tube! They also watched some exciting chemical demonstrations including the ‘howling jelly baby’ which this year caused amusement by not only jumping out of the test tube, but then getting stuck in the neck of the tube! This was followed by a very bright redox flash as magnesium displaced silver in a ....

As far as the House is concerned, much has been achieved in spite of the demands of the public exams, which spanned very nearly the whole term starting with the IB in Week Two and concluding with A?level papers in the final week. The Seniors managed to retain the Senior Cricket Cup, beating No.5 in a tight match that turned on a deft ....

It was a superb production involving four members of the No.5 FY who rehearsed long and hard throughout the term; the audience was richly rewarded with what was a fine performance. Matthew was complimented on his skill on stage and I am sure that he will be one for the future - watch this space! Wed, 21 Jul 2010 09:21:00 +0100
