Queen's Gate Olympics!!

Today at Queen's Gate we hosted our very own Olympic Games! But we didn't have any 200m sprints or javelin throws. Instead we had games of 'Crocodile' and ' The Lucky Box Race', as our students invented their very own sports to play! Earlier on in the week the students had worked in groups and created brand new sports. They had to come up with a name, equipment needed and a set of rules! Let's take a look at the fantastic games they came up with... 1. Stupid Bean! Number of players: 3 or more Equipment needed: A ball How to play: Players stand in a circle with one player stood in the middle of the circle. The player in the middle is known as the 'bean'. The players throw and catch the ball to one another across the circle and the bean must attempt to catch the ball mid air! Once the bean succeeds, he or she can go back in the circle and the player who threw the caught ball becomes the stupid bean! 2. The Number Game!

Welcome to Week 5!

Welcome to week 5 of Discovery Summer Queen's Gate 2017! Although the summer is drawing to an end we still have lots to look forward to here at the school. Our new students this week have settled in very well and have been busy making new friends, trying out new things and speaking lots of English! In the afternoons we have a variety of activities for the students to take part in. So far this week we have been busy building spaghetti and marshmallow towers, Pointillism portraits, 'Scooby-Doo' bracelets and a yoga class! Every morning when the students arrive at school they are able to see what the day holds for them. Our colourful notice board is full of lots of exciting things from sticker challenges to the afternoon schedule for the day! Be sure to keep an eye on it! The students enjoying a well-earned lunch break! Today we visited the Victoria and Albert Museum! Our teen class exploring Trafalgar Square yesterday!

The Teens Take Tate Britain

London is home to some of the best art galleries in the world. The Tate Britain is part of the Tate network of galleries in England and opened back in 1897. It is situated just off the Thames and on Friday afternoon our teens were lucky enough to explore it themselves! Taking the tube from Gloucester Road! The Tate Britain is the perfect place to learn about British art as it holds the largest collection of British art in the world from 1500 to the present day. The students focused their visit on the 'Walk through British Art' exhibition. Here they were able to walk through time learning about the past half a century of British Art. Instead of specific themes or movements in art, the display was arranged by each decade. This allowed the students to view the art chronologically whilst identifying the different themes and movements on their own. Meanwhile back at school the junior students were busy. This week the students had two drama le
