Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School celebrates Parliament Week!

Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School recently hosted an exciting and educational Parliament Week.

The week-long event aimed to immerse students in the world of politics, democracy, and critical global issues through a series of engaging activities. From a Parliament Week quiz to a creative Big Ben model building challenge and a bake-off competition featuring cakes themed around democracy, parliament, climate change, and AI, the pupils learnt about UK democracy and their role within it.

Parliament Week Quiz:

The week kicked off with a Parliament quiz that put students’ knowledge of parliamentary processes, historical events, and political figures to the test. The winning house was Parr!

Build a Big Ben Model:

The iconic Big Ben model building challenge brought out the students’ creativity as they worked together to construct replicas of one of London’s most recognisable landmarks. The resulting mini-Big Ben models served as tangible reminders of the students’ collective efforts throughout Parliament Week.

The Big British Parliament week Bake off!

Students participated in a bake-off style event where they showcased their culinary skills by crafting cakes themed around democracy, parliament, climate change, and artificial intelligence. Students decorated their cakes with intricate designs and brilliant messages on these important issues. The cakes created for the bake-off were not just delightful treats but also powerful expressions of the students’ perspectives on democracy. From cakes adorned with symbols of unity and collaboration to those depicting the effects of climate change and the integration of AI in our lives, each cake told a story.
