In last week’s Citizenship lessons, Year 7s took a look at democracy focusing on the work of The Suffragettes. Kitty in 7S was really inspired by the struggle of those who fought for ‘Votes for Women’ and over the weekend produced her own fact file.
“Emily Wilding Davison is a local heroine and that is one of the reasons I am so interested in the Suffragette’s story. However, I didn’t know until last week that there is a lot of debate as to whether she purposefully threw herself under the King’s horse to draw attention to the campaign or whether she was simply trying to pin a rosette to it. My sister helped me make the fact file and my favourite page is the one with the rosette on – I used the three colours of the Suffragette movement, purple, white and 
green.”
Well done to Kitty for such an amazing piece of work.

Amongst the activities were:
- designing a catapult that would project a ball the furthest
- getting the whole team over a rope (‘electric fence’) without touching the rope
- solving a game of chess
- getting a team into a spider’s web without touching any of the web
” It was a great way to get to know the other people in my class better. It was really funny at times and I particularly enjoyed the electric fence because we all worked as a team to get everyone over”, said Sophie Hindhaugh in 5I.
