Highly tuned observational skills

 

This is just a quick note on what happened in a fleeting moment while Year 9 were on a walk alongside the Severn a few weeks ago. A couple of the pupils were walking ahead with Louis when another of the class asked for every ones attention. We gathered around to be shown a leaf lay on the floor under a birch tree. He commented on how it had an uncanny resemblance to an alien.

All the staff were taken aback by how this little detail had been spotted, focused on and compared to another image from pop culture! In the blink of an eye...

It was a moment that really highlighted the creative thinking and attention to fine detail that some of our pupils hold.
