VISITING QUEEN MARY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
Earlier in the term our Year 12 Geographers had the opportunity to experience what a typical day in the life might be like at a top London University.
They visited the QMUL campus to attend a lecture on Cultural Globalisation - Is globalisation producing sameness or difference? Our Year 12s had recently studied similar concepts in their lessons here and were well prepared to listen and learn from a well renowned expert. After enjoying East London’s impressive skyline during our lunch break they headed on a tour of the campus as their last activity for the day.
EXPLORING THE GOTHIC GENRE Throughout the Spring term, Year 9 have spent their English lessons exploring elements of the Gothic genre. Gothic literature is a genre of fiction which first became popular during the 18th century. The term ‘Gothic’ originates from the name of an ancient Germanic tribe (The Goths) who are thought to have contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire. They had a reputation for being barbaric and later a form of architecture was named after them as a sort of insult. As part of their work they were tasked with creating collages to illustrate their understanding of the conventions of the genre.
