Knitting Club



 


Knitting Club 

 

Knitting club has been a club taking place this term. It is a club where people come to sit down, knit, chat, and generally have a fun time. Anyone can show up, no matter their level of skill and within minutes can learn how to knit like a pro thanks to the support of the incredible Ms O'Connor and even the boys who attend. Even if you are not a huge fan of knitting, you can still show up just to chat and relax.  

 

Newcomers such as Jake Thurgood and Fillipo Severi have started making a plethora of other things using the wool, including very fluffy pompoms or even thick ropes. These have added a range of variety to the already incredible club. 

  

This special club also has a special tie. However, this tie is different to all others. This is because you can knit and wear your own customisable tie with the full support of Ms Cooke. You can choose any colour and sew on any pattern you like on your tie (within reason). This is a brilliant way to assert dominance over all your friends and prove that you are way cooler than them all combined. So, join this Thursday and start your knitting career!

Nuclear Fission

Here is the FIRST article on Nuclear Fission Should we use nuclear power?     This article will be about using nuclear fuels, and whether it is a good or bad idea. I personally believe that we should, and I hope this should convince you.   Nuclear fission   is the splitting of a large atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei . The entire nucleus splits into two large fragments. In addition to the se , two or three neutrons also explode out of the fission reaction, and these can collide with other uranium nuclei to cause further fission reactions. This is known as a   chain reaction.   The fast moving neutrons carry most of the energy from the reaction with them , 99% of it, but before the neutrons can collide with fresh uranium nuclei, they need to be slowed down.   This is so that they can collide with other nuclei in a controlled way, without exploding. The energy is used to heat water to drive the   turbines   that turn the   generators.     A reason that w...

New lower school library

  New  lower school library     The multi-million-pound lower school library project has a deadline of November. It is completely carbon neutral and has no source of gas for the building, being primarily heated by air source heat pumps, which extract the heat from the air around the building. There will be solar panels, but they won’t be very useful given the library’s geographical location, and it’s surface area. The cement and concrete are all either recycled or low carbon. All of the carbon produced in this building is offset.    The build will have an official opening, by Dr Spence. There will be a lift and 2 staircases, one of them being a spiral staircase. There will be, like the current portacabins, 2 floors in the library and IT suite. Both staircases will be inside, meaning that you will never get wet going between floors again. There will be capacity for over 10,000 books in the library, meaning that there will be plenty for the 260 students ...

Pros and Cons of Cricket

Image
Cricket is an ex ceptionally good sport for learning about how to use teamwork to help people. Teamwork is one of the key skills needed to thrive in cricket, so cricket players must practise being kind to others, even when situations are hard. Cricket also has particularly good health benefits, such as improved cardiovascular fitness, hand-eye coordination, and strength. These are all immensely helpful in later life. Cricket also releases endorphins, which are natural mood elevators, and can improve overall mental health and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Cricket can also boost the immune system, reducing the risk of illness and disease. Cricket is extremely exciting because it can be all down to the last ball, and no-one (excluding the umpire) knows the score.   C ricket, however, has limited participation because it is mainly between India, Australia and England. It is a colonial sport and there is sadly a lot of racism in the history of cricket. The equipment...
