Year 10 Textile Students Make History!    

The Design and Technology department is collaborating with Transport for London on an educational programme they are developing called Inspiring Engineering Careers.

Last week Year 10 textiles students were invited to TFL headquarters in Pimlico to meet with the Head of Design, Paul Marchant. The session took place in the Jill Viner who was the first woman bus driver for TFL in 1974.

We were lucky enough to be the first commuters to see samples of the new moquette fabric which is used throughout the new Elizabeth Line high speed trains, which finally launched this week. We learnt that the traditional French fabric moquette is still used on all TFL transport since its introduction in 1923.

It is made with wool which is both sustainable, biodegradable and self cleaning. The fabrics are also woven with strands of silver which have antibacterial properties and a mesh backing acts as an anti-stab feature.

Platinum Jubilee Book Quiz

For your amusement over the half term, I have compiled a book quiz.

I have chosen one book which was published for each of the years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.  The books are all popular titles which are still in print today.  Indeed, I would estimate that 95% are in the school library.

I have provided a clue and an anagram of the title for each book.  All you have to do is supply the actual title.  

Jubilee Book Title Quiz

I will give a prize to the person who gets the most correct answers. 

Email your answers to sgreen@csg.school by 4pm on Monday 6 June.
