On Tuesday 20th November, KEHS welcomed 75 year five and six pupils from primary schools across Birmingham to take part in our annual Autumn Challenge gifted and talented workshop. Throughout the morning, the pupils took part in Maths, Science, Spanish and French workshops. In Maths the pupils were able to explore real life applications through code breaking and in Science the pupils carried out a crime scene investigation. In French and Spanish, pupils learnt about cultural differences, picking up some new vocabulary! Thank you to all of the teachers who were involved and to our Sixth Form helpers who supported the delivery of the workshops: Sarah, Michelle, Tvisha, Mariam, Catherine, Joey, Amirtha, Sakina, Ishani and Hannah.
