Hill House School saw a great end to a very unusual year with pupils enjoying lots of exciting trips over the last few weeks of term, including the Tropical Butterfly House, Alton Towers, Bawtry Paintball Fields and a day at the seaside.
Cricketers at Hill House are celebrating after winning a national championship this week. The Under 15 boys’ cricket team travelled to Scarborough to take part in a national Schools’ T10 cricket championships.
Last week saw 2 historic events for Hill House cricketers.
We were incredibly lucky this week to welcome Peter Wright, from Channel 5's The Yorkshire Vet for our final Robert Winston Lecture of this academic year.
The Music department were delighted to welcome performers back to the studio this week!
Hill House cricketers were delighted to take the field again, for the first time in almost 2 years, in a series of fixtures with Mount St.Mary's College.
The Hill House Music department have certainly been keeping busy during lockdown and this week was no exception. Following weeks of fabulous remote spotlight performances, published on Friday lunchtimes, they also treated us to a wonderful musical soiree this week.
Before the half term, the Mathematics Department set pupils a STEM challenge (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Pupils from all year groups were asked to construct a paper tower using only paper and Sellotape; exploring multiple design features that would give their towers strength. The tower had to be as tall as possible and support something on the very top whilst withstanding the force of a hairdryer and staying upright!
Pupils took pictures of their efforts producing all sorts of designs and structures with varying degrees of success and of various heights. Beatrice Barker managed to construct a tower that was almost as tall as her – this is just one of the fantastic things we have managed to do online!
