Year 7 Christmas Science Lecture

On the afternoon of Monday 16 December, 33 Year 7 students ventured to Birmingham University to hear a lecture exploring aspects of Science from the tiniest particles to the whole Universe. Wasaf Anwar writes:

‘Firstly, this trip was very informative and entertaining and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the Christmas singing at the start which got everyone involved. I thought the experiments, and the way they were performed inviting the audience to join in, were amazing. There were various quizzes and questions that were fun and challenging for students to take part in. There were also prizes for students who volunteered to help with a practical or gave correct answers to questions. I enjoyed the experience and I think that a lot of other pupils did too. I would like to see even more trips organised!’.

Some keen Year 7 Science students who have particularly impressed their teachers during their first term at HGS will be invited to attend ‘Science Club’, organised by Mr Mohsin, which will be starting in the New Year. Looking further ahead, all Year 7 students will be joining in with a ‘Planetarium Show’ being planned by Mr Bansal for March.
