A great time was had by all as our students were making waves in their swimming lesson! Our teacher was on hand to teach the finer points of technique, ensuring everyone was learning, swimming, and splashing with confidence.

We focused on the demanding butterfly stroke, with a great drill to practise the dolphin kick motion—remember, it’s a wave from the hips, not massive splashes! The lesson also covered important elements like the pull in the water, which helps perfect the streamline position for faster swimming.

Well done to everyone who got in the pool, you’re all doing a cracking job!

Our students learn to see patterns, reason logically, and apply what they learn to real-life situations. Through interactive lessons, group challenges, and the use of digital tools, they build both confidence and curiosity.

Each activity encourages them to explain their ideas clearly
and think creatively to find solutions. By making sense of
numbers, our students strengthen their problem-solving skills and grow into independent, analytical thinkers. At SES, every lesson is designed to make learning meaningful, engaging, and fun! 📊✨

A captivating mathematics session is underway as students delve into the exciting world of Finding Factors
and Making Multiples! Students engage in an interactive class focused on mastering concepts like Highest Common Factor (HCF) and Lowest Common Multiple (LCM).

Our teacher guides students as they tackle factor trees and whiteboard problems, promoting a hands-on approach to learning. There are lively discussions, moments of correction, and clear instruction on using prime factors to find the HCF and LCM. 

It looks like a fun and engaging journey into essential
number theory!

Students are diving into an insightful classroom activity that clearly illustrates how the heart works. They are constructing a simple model to mimic the essential action of blood circulating throughout the body.

Using water dyed a deep red, students can physically observe and interact with the mechanics of the cardiovascular system. This hands-on, practical lesson is expertly designed to make complex biological functions accessible and engaging for everyone.

It’s a superb example of how interactive experiments cement a solid understanding of human anatomy.
