Year 7 in Product Design

  In Yr7 Product Design, students have been learning about different timber types and this project has been an introduction to the workshop. Out of the timber, they have cut a heart shape using a tenon saw and worked their 'hearts' using rasps and files to create a rounded shape. Lots of sanding has followed to further smooth the surface. To finish the project the students have sealed and waxed their 'hearts' and some have chosen to stamp a message into the surface.

Sickle Cell Disease and Black History Month

We had the opportunity to work with the local authority at Waltham Forest and the Mayor to create a Sickle Cell Disease programme that will run within pastoral time. The assembly was prepared by Claudine Matthews and was presented to students in assembly during the final week of Black History Month. The pastoral curriculum sessions then run on Wednesday afternoons. Each year group has different activities to do, looking at various themes to do with Sickle Cell Disease, such as nutrition and equalities in the workplace.  The Mayor was in school and visited different form groups to see the work being done in each year group.
