Ian Murphy Art Workshop – Year 12

Year 12 students visited the workshop of ‘Ian Murphy’, a British based professional Artist who focuses on painting large scale architectural work. On the first day they learnt how to create textural backgrounds using a variety of materials such as scrim, tissue paper, newspaper and even sandpaper. On the second day they focused on completing tone and shade, giving their work form and scale. All the students thoroughly enjoyed their workshop and have come back to classroom brimming with ideas of how they can incorporate these techniques into their own work.

Year 7 Geography trip to Thai Meteorological Department

On May 23rd all Year 7 students went to Bang Na for half a day trip to see how weather data is collected and how it can be used to forecast the weather.
They got to see a Stevenson Screen, rain gauges, anemometers, evaporation pan and a Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorder.
After being told how these instruments worked they went inside for a short lecture about forecasting the weather and the different types of weather Thailand experiences. The students diligently took notes and answered a variety of questions.
Finally everyone went into the Meteorological Discovery Museum for a short history of meteorology.
It was a very informative morning for all the students.

Spooky Creative Writing – Year 9

Year 9 have been practising their writing skills this term. Together we watched a short film called ‘Alma’ about a little girl who comes across a mysterious toy shop and a doll who looks just like her. Year 9 students used a range of senses and ‘show don’t tell’ techniques to recreate the story in writing.

Environmental Systems and Societies – Year 12

Year 12 ESS students had the opportunity to meet with Eric Davidson and Doug Goessman a former US Fish and Wildlife federal agent to discuss wildlife and forestry crime. Here students were shown how dangerous the ivory trade is. Year 12 students then participated in a group discussion on methods that can help stop this. Overall it was agreed that when demand falls then ivory trade will diminish. This was a fantastic opportunity for students to see how they can use their subject knowledge beyond the syllabus.

Swimming Training by Olympic and Commonwealth swimmer James Goddard

Students at Regent’s recently enjoyed a visit from Olympic and Commonwealth swimmer James Goddard. James has competed in 3 Olympic Games and gained medals at nearly all major championships including gold medals at Commonwealth and European Championships, and the World Championships.
