You’ve Got Mail!

Gemma and Rupert were delighted to receive letters from David Attenborough and Jeremy Clarkson after writing to them as part of their iPQ lessons.

Pupils in Year 7 have each chosen a topic to research for their ISEB Project Qualification (iPQ). The aim of the qualification is to develop independent, pupil-led research-learning in the form of a 15-20 hour project.

Gemma chose to find out more about endangered animals and the threat of extinction so thought it was the perfect opportunity to write to the expert himself, David Attenborough. While Rupert is researching whether electric tractors could be viable and decided the person most likely to give an honest opinion would be none other than Jeremy Clarkson. Both Gemma and Rupert were excited when replies arrived through the letterbox.

In their weekly iPQ class with Mrs Bonner-Mackenzie, Year 7 will continue with their projects over the coming weeks – looking into topics ranging from female participation in football to designing a school menu and answering ‘What impact could AI have on the acting industry?’ and ‘Can I turn £1 into £100?’…

...We look forward to seeing the final projects!
