Year 10 Geography and Triple Science students had the opportunity to be part of a special cross-curricular enrichment activity. The event was lead by Scientist Dr. Leigh Hickmott, world leading expert in Pack-Ice Killer whales. He visited us at the Bourne to deliver a talk about his recent BBC programme, 'Expedition Killer Whale' and elevated students' knowledge of Antarctica's ecosystems. The students fully immersed themselves into the presentation and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. On behalf of The Bourne Community College, we would like to thank @leighhickmott for his visit and will be looking forward to seeing more of his amazing work.
Year 8 are currently studying Cubism, learning about this style of art and through this project, they are continuing to develop their drawing skills. Photos show work from a lesson drawing paper cups, using parallel lines and ellipses to guide shape, adding shading with smudge sticks. Photos show some of examples of the work from our fabulous year 8 students!
Year 8 have been finding out what London was like in the 17th Century, in order to decide whether it was a 'fine or foul' place to visit. They imagined they were two Italian brothers visiting from Italy; one an optimist, looking for all the fine things about London, the other a pessimist, looking for all the foul things. At the end of their visit, the two brothers meet up in a London tavern for a heated debate over whether London was indeed fine or foul. The students did a fantastic job of gathering their evidence to support their viewpoint and there were some detailed and heated discussions about the city. This work has set the scene for us looking at some key events of the time, such as the English Civil War, which turned the world upside down!
