Summer term week 1 - Newsletter. The FHES Science department kicked off the Summer term with an inspiring event with Falconry-UK.
It was a privilege to welcome the Falconry-UK to FHES with their birds of prey.
We were introduced to a range of beautiful and fascinating birds of prey.
Year 8 students were delighted and enthralled to meet Rocco the Pygmy Falcon, Brooklyn the Verreaux Milky Eagle owl, Bailey the White Faced Owl, Blu the Blue Winged Kookaburra and many more.
Students were engaged and enthused by Jason Ashcroft’s expertise and knowledge.
His passion and pride for the birds was evident throughout.
FHES students were given the opportunity to participate and handle the birds, with great care and he seamlessly focused his presentation on the topic of Adaptation which the students will be studying in their science curriculum.
The question and feedback sessions were particularly engaging and the students were completely at ease and eager to participate.
Jason was very keen to thank and praise all Year 8 FHES students for their calm, considered and respectful behaviour towards the birds during all the sessions.
We look forward to further events with Falconry-UK in the future.
Well done Year 8s, it was an absolute pleasure to organise for you and to see the awe and wonder on your faces.
Many thanks to FHES staff who supported the science team with this event. Dhanya Birtwistle ( Science HoD)
