On Tuesday 3rd March, Namrata, Gracia, Samantha and Jasmeen competed in the West Midlands Chemistry Quiz at the University of Birmingham. They completed a ten round quiz under timed conditions. They were required to conduct different activities including balancing equations, solving chemical anagrams, identifying substances, analysing patterns and carrying out multi-step calculations. The girls thoroughly enjoyed participating in the quiz and worked exceptionally well as a team. The standard was extremely high with our girls achieving fifth place in the competition, making them the highest placed girls’ team in the West Midlands region.

An exploration of Ancient Greece
From the very first day to the last, we found ourselves entirely submerged in both modern and ancient Greek culture, from participating in a couple of chaotic dances to being taught (and quizzed) on different objects we hunted for in the museums.
