On Friday 26th June we were very proud to show off the dance, drama and music skills of our Year 7-10 students, as well as display artwork by our GCSE Art and Photography cohort.
We’d like to thank all our fantastic performers and the staff and PTA members that supported the event for entertaining family and friends with their creative talents.
Students who are keen to be involved in our big musical in December should speak to Miss Miller now and keep an eye out for further details. For further examples of student artwork, follow @artheartlands on twitter.Â
Heartlands will be having a Staff Training Day on Friday and no students are expected to be in school.
On Monday 6th July, all students will be taking part in the annual inter-House Athletics competition (Sports Day). Â All Students will need to make their own way to White Hart Lane Community Sports Centre (New River Athletics Stadium), in White Hart Lane, N22 5QW.
Students are to arrive promptly at 09:00 for registration in their normal PE kit. Â All students are expected to take part.
The competition and presentations will finish by 14:45 and pupils will be expected to make their own way home from the stadium.
Students, remember to bring a packed lunch (FSM students will be provided with one), plenty of fluids, a reading book and sun cream.
Parents are welcome to come and support their children but they will need to sign in and out upon entrance to the stadium.
We are really excited about the competition and look forward to seeing outstanding performances from our students.
Normal school resumes on Tuesday 7th July.
On Monday 22nd June, some of our Year 9 Scientists spent a day at Alexandra Park School, looking at Physics in Sport and Medicine. The day consisted of three sessions: âSpeed and Powerâ, âMedical Physicsâ and âAerodynamics and Visionâ.
In the first session, the students used a Wattbike to find out their power output and could compare themselves to household appliances and cars. They calculated their running
speed and acceleration too.
In the Medical Physics session, the students enjoyed using ultrasound scanners to look at their kidneys and hearts and they had a great time trying on a radiation suit.
The final session on aerodynamics and vision saw students sticking their heads into a wind tunnel with different hats on to see which was most aerodynamic, and trying on goggles which simulated different types of vision problems.
    
‘Exciting’ and ‘wow’ are a few words the year 8 students used when they attended the Science festival at Queen Mary University.
The students were free to look around the Science market and try out some of the activities, some students found out if they were more impulsive than a Zebrafish! Â Other students were listening to their heartbeats through speakers, there was also a small handheld speaker where you could essentially feel someone’s heartbeat.
âStudents had the opportunity to listen to three interactive discussions, one was âcalled ‘snot’, ‘sick’ and ‘scabs’ and was about body defences, Two of our students were ‘scabs’!
The year 10 Duke of Edinburgh students successfully completed their final expedition this weekend in Epping forest. Students were fantastic and a real asset to Heartlands.
Please congratulate the following students.

Now that our Public Exam season is drawing to a close, we are about to begin the mock exam season for Year 10 students. It is very important that Year 10 have an opportunity to practice their exam and revision skills and develop a good understanding of exam rules and procedures so that they are fully prepared for the experience of Public Exams next year.
