It was great to stop by MM2 period 5 last Friday to see our latest team of Oriel STEM Kart engineers at work. Test run very soon and racing again next year at @stemontrack 💜🏎️🏁🏎️💜 #OrielDT #OrielKarting #STEM #Engineering

What a fabulous day for our Y10 GCSE Photography students & budding Y9 photographers! 📸 Finding inspiration on Brighton’s vibrant streets, exploring @brighton_museums Art Gallery & enjoying a hands-on mixed media workshop at Brighton Photo Biennial. Creativity in action! 💜📷

Our Year 12 and Year 13 Performing Arts students enjoyed a day in London visiting the @tate collecting improvisation stimuli and watching the musical Rent at the @stoppardtheatre in the afternoon. Shame about the weather 💜 #OrielPerformingArts #ArtisticInspiration

Yesterday it was all about ‘Big Revise’ for Y11 & they were absolutely on point! Brilliant engagement & focus during this super useful session trying out a range of practical revision techniques. There was @OfficialHaribo too! 💜👏💜 #PomodoroMethod #CornellNoteTaking #Impressed

💜 Our Y11 Maths Mentors are helping Y8 students master negative numbers, build confidence and develop problem-solving skills. Fantastic to see our students supporting each other to succeed! 👏 #OrielMaths #PeerMentoring

….and a final brilliant group shot from a brilliant day out @BodyWorldsLDN 💜💜💜 #TeamBodyWorlds #OrielOnTour #LearningOutsideTheClassroom

What a fantastic trip! 💜 Our Y10/11, Y12 & Y13 Health & Social Care students explored the wonders of the human body at @BodyWorldsLondon, gaining fascinating insights into anatomy and physiology through real human specimens. An unforgettable experience! 🫁🫀#OrielHealthAndSocial

Loved watching our Y12 and Y13 A Level Photographers setting up these beautifully lit shots today in AR3. The dark room was in good use too. 💜📷📸💡💜 #OrielCreativeArts #Lighting #Composition #Talent

This was last week at Forest School! A new group, and new challenges! Tool work, team games and lots of fun! 💜🪵🪾🌳🔥💜 #ForestSchool #LearningOutsideTheClassroom #Skills #OutdoorLife

Love these pics! Our Y7 Geographers have been practicing their 4 and 6 figure grid references. Great work from everyone! 💜🗺️🧭📍💜 #OrielGeography #MapSkills #LoveAMapReadingLesson

Love the #Y13TeamChemistry organisational and practical skills which have been on show in this half term’s Reaction Kinetics work. 💜🧪💪 #ALevelChemistry #ActivationEnergy #Kinetics

Last week Oriel hosted actors from @Stage_Ed who gave a workshop centred on ‘An Inspector Calls.’ By putting each of the main characters on trial, Y10 & Y11 were able to interrogate the motives & actions of each character & the part they played in the death of Eva Smith. 💜📚🎭💜

Another amazing opportunity from @UniOfSurrey @SurreyOutreach A day of Maths Crime Scene Investigating for these Y8s solving the murder mystery of who killed Professor Fred?! Lots of Maths and lots of fun! 💜➕♾️➗💜 #Opportunity #Aspiration #Inspiration

It was another busy session in the Creative Hub this week in our Youth Wing making clay characters. So much imagination on show from this bunch! 💜😍💜 #Creativity #Imagination #ExtraCurricular #Fun

Thank you so much to Mortimer Alpacas for bringing their alpacas Truffle and Artie to visit us today. Students had a chance to meet & feed (they love 🥕) the animals whilst learning about alpaca behaviour & how to handle & look after them. P💜🦙🦙🦙🦙💜 #OrielLovesAlpacas

There was some brilliant bird feeder making going on in MM1 yesterday! Mr Creese’s Y7 class working super hard and learning lots of new practical skills. 💜🪚🔨🪵🐦💜 #OrielDT

We love the amazing @LLJFoundation Dare to Dream programme. It was great to welcome back Jack’ the lad’ Hayes to give an assembly to Y9 on developing key skills for life & employment. Mentors from our business partner @1stCentral then met their mentees in our Youth Wing. 💜

What’s the collective noun for a room full of A Level Mathematicians…? 🤔 It was the @UKMathsTrust Senior Mathematical Challenge; a selection of cerebral problems to stretch & confound! Well done to this bunch who stepped up to the test with focus & mathematical vigour! 💜

Thanks to the fantastic @educationgroup our Y7s explored the depths of space last week using the wonders of Virtual Reality. They piloted research vessels around planets & moons, delving deep into the wonders of the solar system. Brilliant fun! 💜🚀☄️🪐🛸💜 #OrielScience

Profiteroles!!!! Our Y11s Hospitality and Catering crew have been cooking up a storm with some fabulous end results! 💜😋💜 #OrielDT #CulinarySkills #ChouxPastry #Yum
