On Friday 26 May fourteen Year 9 students were given the opportunity to take part in some Geography fieldwork led by PGCE students (trainee teachers) from the University of Portsmouth. The day began in a university building, with the Year 9s being introduced to some key terms, data collection methods and the plan for the day. We then ventured out to Southsea seafront to collect information by doing field sketches, a land use survey and carrying out questionnaires. After lunch on the common, we went back to the uni building and planned our regeneration projects for Southsea. Students had to decide whether to build on brownfield or greenfield land and present their ideas to an 'expert' panel representing local residents, environmentalists and Portsmouth Council. The groups came up with some very imaginative ideas and presented their arguments very well. The winning group left the expert panel speechless as their presentation covered everything from the social, economic and environmental impacts of their development to how it would have a positive multiplier effect in the local area as well as being sustainable. 
Well done to all who took part. 
Mrs Whitelock
Head of Geography

All Year 7 tutor groups had the opportunity to take part in the early rounds of the Spelling Bee in their MFL lessons with a semi-final and a final taking place over two lunchtimes this week. Students had to learn twenty four words from six languages including Croatian, Ukrainian and Norwegian. Those who made the final had to learn additional words from Samoan, Irish and Finnish. All participants earned plenty of House points and the winners received a pen and badge. It really was incredibly impressive to see our finalists spell so many of the words correctly in the space of one minute! Well done to all involved.
