During their latest topic, cells and organs, Year 7 have been learning about specialised cells and how they have adapted to be best for their job.
Some examples are:
Root Hair Cells, which have a large surface area to help get as much water as possible into the plant,
Red Blood Cells, which have a high surface area to absorb as much oxygen as possible,
Nerve Cells, with long bodies to pass signals efficiently,
Sperm Cells, with tails for movement,
And many more.
To help learn this, they drew a chosen cell on a piece of shrinkable plastic, put it in the oven for a few minutes, and made them much smaller to simulate cells a little more. They then made them into cool keyrings.

Last week, the British International School Budapest campus came alive with colour, energy, and excitement as our youngest students took part in the annual Primary and Early Years Sports Day!
A huge congratulations to Lizanna (Year 4) and Laura Ivánka (Year 9) for an incredible week of achievements in science and innovation!
