Grade 10 English Event
In a quest to deepen their understanding of Oceania's history and society depicted in the novel "Nineteen Eighty Four" by George Orwell, Grade 10 students participated in a role play event last week, playing archaeologists who had "discovered" artefacts from Oceania. Ms. Hall and Ms. Randhawa's English classes presented their findings to fellow students who assessed them on their presentation and explanation of the exhibits. The students enjoyed the process of sharing their knowledge with their peers and the opportunity to showcase their creativity.
Grade 6 Town Meeting
On the last day of term while many of us were dreaming of the holidays, Grade 6 were occupied in the Portland Place Hall for a special Town Meeting. They celebrated achievements among Grade 6 and enjoyed several drama and music performances and a poetry recital. Some of the students also gave presentations about the field trips they had been on that term to see Jack and the Beanstalk, the Roald Dahl Museum and the Science Museum.
Our Best Trip Ever
Southbank EAL students (Grades 6-8) visited the world-renowned BBC Television Centre in Shepherds Bush and participated in the CBBC Interactive Tour. Some students had the opportunity to see themselves on TV as they acted as news reporters, weather reporters, television programme hosts and game show contestants, while others took on the important roles of sound and lighting technicians. A big thank you to the EAL students for showing the BBC how superb Southbank students are!
