Year 8 and 9: Ballroom Dancing Workshop
We got to see Mr Paine, Head of Maths, in a new light on Thursday 24 June, as he and his dancing partner put Year 9 through their paces in a series of energetic and highly entertaining ballroom dancing workshops. Here is a video of Mr Paine demonstrating his techniques to a group of highly impressed pupils in Queenswood Hall.
Year 12: Psychology
Mrs Christoforou has more information about the fascinating Psychology day that took place on Friday 25 June.
Year 12 were treated to a day of lies and deception on Friday followed by a murder mystery event from Murder One.
To begin they sat through a session where they learned how to detect lies through analysing body language and facial expressions. They then played a game of ‘truth or lies’ among themselves to see if they were any good at detecting lies (most were not!)
Next they were tasked with watching videos to work out who was lying and who was telling the truth, by which point their skills were starting to improve. The morning concluded with an exploration of famous criminal cases such as the Tracy Andrews and Karen Matthews affairs.
