Maths Challenge

Each year, Saracens High School runs the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) Maths Challenges. There are three basic levels: senior (KS5), intermediate (KS4), and junior (KS3). We are delighted to have had over 250 pupils across years 7-13 participate this year!

These challenges are maths questions that are designed to be tricky and make you think. Pupils are not allowed any calculators or measuring equipment and have to rely only on their brain to answer these difficult questions.

To achieve a bronze award in the challenge, pupils must be in the top 50% nationwide. Silver is the top 33% and Gold is the top 16%. We are very proud that we have had 81 bronze awards, 18 silver awards, and even two gold awards this year (who were invited to participate in the follow-on rounds)!

Each pupil who has participated will receive a certificate next half term to celebrate their achievement.

We cannot wait to see what next year’s results hold!

Supreme Court and Parliament

A Level History and Politics students enjoyed the unique experience of visiting the Supreme Court and Houses of Parliament.

As well as going on a tour of the impressive building, Saracens sixth formers also witnessed two live trials in the highest court in the UK.

After lunch, students made their way to Parliament where they watched two debates in the House of Commons.

What incredible experiences, to witness in real life all they’ve been learning about in class!

 

Half Term Poster Competition

Sky’s new poster competition is the perfect half-term activity for any budding artists/designers (or palaeontologists) aged 11-18. Winners of the Jurassic World Rebirth poster can win prizes such as a tour of Sky Studios in Elstree as well as cinema tickets to see the film coming to cinemas in July.

The competition closes on 6th June. More information can be found here.

For other activities over the half term break, have a look at the community page of the school website.

Mandarin Trip to Wing Yip

By Sophie A, Year 8

On April 30th a group of year 8 pupils went on a trip to Wing Yip. 

We started the day in the supermarket where we looked at the collection of different foods and drinks ranging from frozen foods, breads, snacks, sweets, noodles, rice and even bubble tea. We then bought the ones that we wanted to try. 

Afterwards we went for a delicious, traditional lunch where our food was placed on a lazy susan (chinese spinning table). Some of the dishes we enjoyed were vegetable fried rice, egg fried rice, tofu, Singapore style noodles and beansprout noodles.

To end this amazing trip we went to a nearby park with an amazing playground where we all played and released our energy. This trip was such a great experience and we all had so much fun.
