First week

The first week!

What a fantastic start to the year. The students are already well integrated and enjoying the new clubs on offer. The boarding houses are now awake after a short but well earned break and the students are making the most of everything on offer. The students are enjoying the robotics club and the teachers are looking at how they may be able to incorporate the work done by the students within the lessons. All the students are working together and enjoying their time. A fantastic start to the year!

Year 1 & 2

This morning, the children in Year 1 & 2, worked in pairs to tell a story using a story map, they used lots of fantastic connectives. They shared their news and wrote about their weekend.

They also enjoyed their maths lesson which was all about ordinal numbers.

The children worked together to understand the IPC personal goals, they have created a super display on their classroom door to demonstrate the importance of these qualities.

The 8 personal goals are:


Enquiry, resilience, morality, communication, thoughtfulness, cooperation, respect and adaptability.

These 8 categories are what makes up our points system - eprasie.

Year 9 on Expedition to Lucerne

This weekend Year 9 went on Expedition to Lucerne, in the Swiss German part of Switzerland. Jérôme and Mylene led the trip. Derek Lineham, the Headteacher, also accompanied the group. The trip linked in well with their current IMYC unit of Community.

Switzerland is made of four linguistic communities, with the German speakers being in the majority. Lucerne lies in the heart of this community and the Year 9 students were able to appreciate many aspects of the culture of this region. They took part in an iPad-based Urban Game, in the form of a treasure hunt around the city of Lucerne. In doing so, they learnt a great deal about the city while having fun at the same time. 

On Saturday, the students went to the summit of a nearby mountain, the Rigi.  As well as going on a good mountain hike with fantastic scenery, the students were able to appreciate the transport methods that link the community together. This included a journey on a paddle steamer built in 1901 (the oldest of its kind in the world), a modern cable car and a classic Swiss mountain railway dating back to the early years of the 20th Century.  On Sunday, all of this was brought together by a visit to the Swiss Transport Museum.
