Do you know why snakes slither? What actually is snake venom? Does camouflage work?
Sixth Formers Alex Lamb, Hugo Willson and Sahvan Jutla answered all these questions and more in a brilliant talk entitled The Science of Snakes on Monday 2 October. In this special lunchtime enrichment talk, the boys, all studying the IB in the Upper School, shared their Collaborative Science Project with boys from Y6 to Y8.
Enhancing our Prep boys’ learning with talks such as these from our Upper School boys is always hugely beneficial. Moreover, the benefits flow both ways, with those giving the talks gaining a sense of accomplishment through sharing knowledge while acting as incredible role models for our Prep boys, many of whom are inspired to follow in their footsteps.
The Sixth Formers’ talk was just the first in a series of enrichment talks that Prep boys can look forward to this term.
Talks this term also include:
- ‘Improve your PEEL (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link) paragraphs’ for boys in Y7-Y8.
- ‘Introduction to speaking Italian’ for boys in Y5-Y8
- ‘Writing spooky tales’ for boys in Y3-Y6
