MFL and Science team up for "rocket" lessons.
This week Year 7 students have been treated to demonstrations of different types of propelled "rockets", with a twist! The MFL and Science departments joined together again to show the importance of languages within a scientific setting.
The session began with the Ariane rocket countdown carried out in French. Mrs Hammoudi, ably assisted by Mr Harper, then went onto introduce vocabulary in French for students to carry out their own experiments involving "un conteneur en plastique, un chronometre, un alka seltzer, des lunettes de protection et de l'eau". Instructions were given in French and ... up the rockets went!
Students created their own rockets for Mr Harper to "fire", pumped up water rockets dodging the showers with Mr Smart and Mr Watts, and worked on making helicopters with Mrs Gold.
A good time was had by all and we are looking forward to even bigger and better next year!
