Japanese Cooking Lessons 2024

The Year 13 CP students involved themselves in a lesson of Japanese cooking this term. The students made Soba noodles and Chicken Noodle Soup with great help and assistance by Sensei Myers. The experience was enjoyed by all students. All students said they would definitely like to try it again and it will be a university food for the future, due to how easy it is to make at home.

When asked for their opinions on the experience, students shared positive feedback such as "it was nice to explore a different culture," "I found it very culturally enriching," and "It was great fun." Regarding their thoughts on the food they prepared, the general consensus was very positive, with comments like "I ate a lot!!," "it was sooooooo scrummy!" and "The food was very nice, and I will be trying to make it at home."
As a whole the experience was very enjoyable, not only to experience the culture and food of Japan but also to take a break from the rigorous studies in the school’s sixth-form.

Please find below the audio file for the English Tea and Topic session - which happened last Thursday 18th January. Parents had the opportunity to listen to specific revision insight from Ms Underwood - our Head of English - and to ask any individual questions that they felt would be useful to support their students across both Language and Literature examinations. As with the prior Science session, we wanted to thank all the parents who gave up their time and invite you to listen and catch up on what was discussed if you weren't able to make it. The Maths session link will be up shortly, and there are two events happening after school (Parent Power - 31.01.24 and Year 11 Information Evening - 22.02.24) designed to further support parents to guide their young people to exam success.
