This week, Year 7 have been looking at cells and used microscopes for the first time to look at their own cells, as well as onion skin. The students prepared their own slides by removing cells from the inside of their cheek with a cotton bud/Q-tip, they then put this sample on a slide and stained it so that the cells were easier to see.
They also removed the skin from between layers of an onion. By viewing these animal and plant cells, they could see the differences between the two types. We even found a bug in one of the onions, so make sure you wash your vegetables!

The BISB WOLVES had an exciting and challenging end to Season 1, participating in the prestigious NAGGE (Nord Anglia Global Games Europe) U19 Volleyball Tournament, hosted by TBS, Warsaw. Last year, our boys' team returned as champions, and the girls' team earned a silver medal.
The highlight of the weekend was the Christmas Fair, which brought festive cheer and excitement. Let’s take a quick look back, in a nutshell!
