S1 Rapid Response
Yesterday, our S1s became Rapid Response engineers for the day and completed a variety of tasks responding to a hurricane in Hondurus. They had to work together in groups to build a shelter, transport emergency water, purify water, complete an orienteering task and make survival food. This links to work they have been doing in classes across the curriculum such as learning Spanish in Modern Languages, learning about water purification in Science, measuring area in Maths and learning about the formation of hurricanes in Geography.
