Celebrating Success: Our Cricket Team at the Tower Hamlets Tournament

On December 9th, our Year 9 and year 10 cricket team represented Mulberry Stepney Green at the Tower Hamlets Cricket Tournament, hosted at The John Orwell Centre. We’re thrilled to announce that they secured 3rd place!

What stood out during the competition was not just their impressive skills on the field but also their remarkable sportsmanship. Our students consistently encouraged each other, showing true team spirit and respect for other competing schools. This deep sense of camaraderie reflects the values we instill at Mulberry Stepney Green, promoting not just athletic excellence but also community support and sportsmanship.

Congratulations to our Year 9 and Year 10 cricketers! Your dedication and teamwork are commendable, and we’re so proud to celebrate this achievement with you. Keep shining bright on and off the field!

Wallace Collection Year 8 Gifted and Talented MFL and Art Trip

In December 30 Year 8 Spanish and Art students visited the Wallace Collection in Marylebone, a beautiful museum housing paintings, sculptures, furniture and armoury all owned by four generations of the Wallace family who bequeathed it to the nation in 1897.

Students had the opportunity to take part in an art workshop run by a professional artist and illustrator, who happened to be a native Spanish speaker and happy to answer our students’ questions in Spanish. They learned about the history of the museum and explored different parts of the building to get inspiration. They produced amazing drawings from different rooms in the house furnished with beautiful Rococo chairs, paintings and sculptures. Students shared their work and discussed what they thought of the beautiful surroundings.

After lunch we split into teams to compete in a Spanish Treasure hunt around the museum. There were three groups who had to find the answers to the clues written in Spanish, which were dotted all around the museum. There was fierce competition to be the fastest group and all students thoroughly enjoyed the day, practicing lots of Spanish and producing some excellent sketches.

Overall, it was a very successful trip and the students came back to school thoroughly inspired.

 

Celebrating Leadership Collaboration!

 

On December 2nd, we experienced a proud moment as our Year 10 and Year 11 Form Representatives collaborated with the Sixth Form Prefect Team. This productive morning was filled with energy and enthusiasm, as students engaged in discussions about their upcoming leadership roles.

Together, they are not only preparing to shine in their responsibilities but also fostering a sense of community and teamwork. A huge congratulations to everyone involved for their dedication and commitment to making a positive impact in our school!

We look forward to seeing their leadership skills flourish in the months to come.

Our Visit to Physics in Action

Our school had the privilege of attending the Physics in Action event, and we’re still buzzing from the experience! This fantastic event brought together some of the brightest minds in physics, and we were thrilled to be a part of it.

The day was filled with five engaging sessions that not only complemented our KS5 curriculum but also showcased the latest research and real-world applications of physics. Our students were fascinated by the practical examples and case studies presented, which helped to bring the subject to life.

But what really stood out for us was the special session on exam success. Our students received invaluable tips and strategies from experienced professionals, which we’re confident will help them achieve their full potential in their upcoming exams.

Overall, our visit to Physics in Action was an enriching experience that left our students motivated and excited about the future of physics. We’re grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this event and look forward to applying the knowledge and inspiration gained back in our own classrooms.
