What’s new: This week saw the bi-annual STEM event take place at Anglo. The

four keynote speakers this year were Lydia Newton, from the

University of East Anglia, who spoke about Higher Education routes

into STEM subjects and the variety of disciplines that are accessible.

Secondly, Simon King from the Physics Department at King’s

College, London, and an ex-student of the Anglo European spoke

about his work in nano-technology and its existing current and future

applications in medicine and technology advancement. Greg Bowlt,

another Anglo alumni, who, after studying in the Netherlands, gained

a place via an apprenticeship route at a local engineering company,

spoke about his work on cutting edge technological advances in

hybrid car engines. Finally, Dr Brett McKinlay, senior lecturer in

structural engineering at City University, spoke about the incredible

range of opportunities available to civil engineers globally and the

significance of being able to converse in a second language. Over a

hundred parents and students attended this event and we are very

grateful to our distinguished guests for their time and commitment in

helping to inform our students of the wide ranging possible future

careers in STEM.

Mathematics challenge: Three monkeys met for tea in their favourite

café, taking off their hats as they arrived.

When they left, they each put on one of the

hats at random. What is the probability that

none of them left wearing the same hat as

when they arrived?

A word from the Sixth Form: As we come to the end of the Upper Sixth mock

examination period, the results of which are included

in your Term 5 report due to be published next week,

and are in the midst of the Lower Sixth mini-mocks

period, then this is a perfect time to conduct that all

important exam self-reflection to analyse your

strengths and weaknesses. For example, is your

content knowledge secure and therefore you really

understand what you have been taught? Do your

revision techniques really help you to recall what is

important? How was your timing, and allocation of

time to the marks on offer? Do you understand what

the questions were actually asking you to do? Finally,

once you’ve worked out where your weaknesses are,

what are you going to do about them? These are just

some of the crucial questions that you need to answer

over the next couple of weeks in order to make sure

that this ‘mocks season’ is a useful and productive

one. Speak to your teachers if you aren’t sure as they

have lots of experience in techniques to help tackle

these problems. However, also make sure you don’t

forget the positives which is easily done, and then

incorporate them into your plan to develop your skills

event further.
