This term, our Year 8 pupils are studying ‘Leila and The Blue Fox’ and exploring the theme of climate change. To tie in with #BritishScienceWeek, they have been discussing collective action, exploring the topic and writing their own poetry. #StNicks #StNicksEnglish

We then took a scenic walk along the River Avon and made some new friends! #StNicks #StNicksExploration #StNicksAdventure

The next stop was a ‘Cradle to Grave’ walking tour, where pupils learnt more about Stratford Upon Avon and the rush history of the town. There was an opportunity for some sightseeing along the way. #StNicks #StNicksAdventure #StNicksDiscovery

Last week, Year 8 spent 2 days in Stratford Upon Avon, enriching their understanding of Shakespeare. The first day started at Anne Hathaway’s cottage, where pupils learnt about her life and how people lived during the period. #StNicks #StNicksExploration #StNickLearning

Our final stop for Day 1 was to see an incredible performance of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ at the #RSC. The pupils were captivated by the staging & performances, and were complimented on their excellent behaviour by members of the public. #StNicks #StNicksCulture

The next stop was to Shakespeare’s School Room, Guildhall and Chapel where pupils learnt about religion during the Elizabethan and Jacobean period, as well as experiencing what lessons were like at that time. Even the teachers got involved! #StNicks #StNicksDiscovery

Day 2 started with a ‘Spotlight on Romeo and Juliet’ workshop with the #BirthplaceTrust where pupils acted out key scenes from the play and deepened their knowledge of the text. #StNicks #StNicksLearning #StNicksCreativity

Impressively, two pupils even managed to score house points for our World Book Day ‘Reading in Unusual Places’ competition by reading books on the very spot where Shakespeare was born. Well done, boys! #StNicks #StNicksEnglish

In between all of the exploration, learning and adventure, pupils enjoyed some well-earned downtime at our beautiful #YHA hostel. #StNicks #StNicksFun

There was also opportunity to visit the Birthplace Trust Museum and to enjoy the treasures and activities on display there! #StNicks #StNickLearning #StNicksDiscovery

The final leg of our adventure was spent at Shakespeare’s Birthplace on Henley Street. Pupils were able to tour his childhood home and grounds, and learn more about his family and early married life. #StNicks #StNicksLearning #StNicksEnglish

Our Shakespearean adventure begins with a visit to Anne Hathaway’s Cottage. Our Year 8s stepped back in time and got a glimpse of what daily life was like for Anne and her family.
