7A learn British Sign Language for Community Week

Mr Bargiela's Year 7 tutor group showed how well they could work as a team. Mr Bargiela explains what they achieved during Community Week:

"During Community week, 7A (A for awesome) learnt British Sign Language (BSL), the premise was to reach all parts of our community in Kings Langley and being part of the Communications Department (Modern Foreign Languages) I thought it appropriate for the students to engage with this language. The students made it their mission to learn the alphabet, numbers and some basics such as introducing themselves and giving their age. During the weeks activities, they taught the sixth formers that had been attached to us how to sign also. Using the resources given to them some of the students even learned how to tell stories. Finally at the end of the week during assembly, every student from 7A, led by Deanna Coe, gave a presentation in BSL to rest of the year group. A wonderful achievement by an awesome tutor group!"

Students vs teachers in a battle of wits for Comic Relief

Miss Mohan's form developed a quiz for Comic Relief. Lots of teachers were happy to join in and show off their general knowledge skills - unfortunately for us, categories like 'Text Speak' meant that students had an unfair advantage and some of us were left with egg - well cream actually - on our faces. Here are students planning the quiz during their registration time. More pictures to follow!

And here are some pictures of the quiz in action! 

Mrs Hardy's group of litter pickers!

Armed with litter pickers, Mrs Hardy's Year 8 group were a force to be reckoned with as they cleared the school site of any left over litter from the morning. Great to see students actively improving their school community. Well done!

7C's Global Community Project

7C were exploring what it means to be part of a global community. They talked about the cultures and traditions from a range of countries, sharing stories from the places they had visited. They learnt that the places they have been and the people they have met have influenced them and shaped their view of life.

One of the students, Alex, recorded that 7C students have been to more than 100 international destinations!

Easter Eggs for Foodbank
