Form 6 Geography fieldtrip
Form 6 headed to the Holderness coast last Thursday to gather data for their Geography Common Entrance coursework. Their project is an investigation into coastal erosion and the three sites visited, Bridlington, Flamborough Head and Fraisthorpe provided plenty of comparative data on the degree and effects of weathering and erosion. The Form 6 pupils took measurements, drew sketches and investigated methods of defence against the ravages of the sea, all of which will be incorporated into their projects over the course of the rest of the term and the Christmas holidays.
Harvest Hampers
What a wonderful response we had to our appeal for Harvest donations this year. It seems that every single Form entered into the spirit of our Harvest Hamper competition and gave very generously indeed. Both the Main School entrance and the Upper School foyer were replete with their donations of edible goodies, and all so beautifully presented in all manner of receptacle from traditional wicker baskets and hampers, to wooden crates, decorated boxes and even a suitcase! The winners of the Harvest Hamper competition, from Main School and Upper School, will be announced in next Monday’s assembly. Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to such an abundant collection, all of which has been delivered to the Barnados home in Ripon.
