There was a buzz around Oathall on Tuesday afternoon as year 7-10 students engaged in Extended Learning activities across the school.
This was the second of three Extended Learning sessions on the school calendar this year.
Year 7 students got involved in the Make £5 grow nationwide challenge. In small groups they devised plans and hatched schemes to generate profits for their businesses. In turn they presented their business ideas to their fellow students from the presentations they created.
Year 8’s STEM projects – think hands-on activities integrating Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – included analysing soil and pen samples to solve mysteries.
Year 9 had a chance to attend four taster sessions ahead of choosing their options in Key Stage 4.
And finally, year 10 students enjoyed an at times frenetic, speed networking afternoon. We are indebted to everyone that gave their time to make this activity happen. An incredibly varied number of occupations were represented, ranging from biochemists and property developers, to intensive care nurses and video game designers.
