Art & Invention
For Wembley Class our Spring Term felt very cultural. Our theme of Art and Invention opened many doors to new experiences. Visits to Museums and Galleries across Portsmouth allowed us to try see the world through the eyes and thoughts of others. We enjoyed a wide range of arts and crafts from around the world at the Portsmouth Museum. We spent a considerable amount of time in the Guildhall.
Enterprise in 6th Form
Nelson have been having a great time and also making some good profit in their various Enterprise businesses . ‘Smashing Sarnies’ was a roaring success and now with the warmer weather we have decided to make fruit boxes. We are getting over 25 orders a week so students are busy taking orders, shopping and preparing the fruit and making up the boxes! The hardest job though will be deciding and voting on how to spend the profit! We loved Rio day and all had a lot of fun.

Some worked together with friends to create a collaborative aboriginal story.
