HUMANITIES UPDATE
Year 7
We have had a busy half-term in Year 7. Firstly, I would like to congratulate all the Year 7s for successfully raising enough funds to adopt both an Organtuan and a Snow Leopard as part of their climate change unit.
We also we went on our first Humanities trip to Bignor Roman Villa. Here we learnt about the Romans who would have lived only 30 minutes away from Muntham, and saw some of their amazing mosaics. It must have taken huge skill and attention-to-detail to create such stunning work.
Year 8
We have started to study the Qing Dynasty, looking at the importance of learning about different cultures around the world. We have also been working on our social skills within lessons and aiming for continuous positive engagement as we move forward onto our next topic – the Tudors!
Year 9 & 10
We are continuing our GCSE module study by looking at 'Britain: Power and the People c1170 to Present Day'. Many of the pupils have taken to this module naturally and are interested in government development within Britain. So far, we have looked at the Magna Carta and the English Civil Wars and will be going on to look at how more recent historical events have shaped those in power.
Year 11
The Humanities department would like to thank and congratulate our Year 11s for how hard they have been revising for all their exams, and are so far doing their absolute best. They only have one history paper left, just after half term, and they are preparing for it vigorously. Keep it up!
