code-breaking activity, with a new clue being released each day. They became masters of spin, creating paintings while learning about centrifugal force in art lessons; launched paper aeroplanes in DT at 80 miles per hour from the top of The Laboratory; and in Religion and Theology asked whether scientists could put their trust in God. Visits were arranged throughout the week to see performances and visit museums, to attend workshops and participate in experiments such as making elephant toothpaste, projectile volcanoes and experimenting with chemiluminescence. There was a cinema trip to see The Martian and a West End theatre visit to see Nicole Kidman star as Rosalind Franklin, the ground-breaking chemist who contributed to the discovery of DNA.
hijackings and exciting expeditions which engaged the whole College community. The week culminated on Friday evening with the opening night of the Lower School production of Hiawatha and the grand opening of The Store, where Claire Twomey of the Craft Council gave a keynote address. ‘ The clay heads activity was really fun and challenging, I have loved seeing the installation and what we can achieve creatively and collectively as a school.’ Felipe Bunge, Year 10 Dulwich Creative was an even greater success than anticipated and paved the way beautifully for our next Free Learning event, Dulwich Inventive ; a week- long celebration of all that we do scientifically and creatively at the College. This tied in neatly with the opening of The Laboratory, a building specifically designed to support and celebrate the importance of Science and Art at the College, allowing boys to embark on their own adventures in learning. The week was driven by the imagination of those boys and teachers who think beyond the confines of individual disciplines and represented inspiring, challenging and active learning at its best. During the week, boys heard from over 25 visiting speakers and scientists and worked with them in a variety of workshops and interactive sessions. Visitors included Lord Professor Robert Winston, Dr Lewis Dartnell and Dr Hugh Hunt.
