This academic year's final edition of The Barometer celebrates another busy and successful half-term at Wetherby Senior School, showcasing articles that reflect the breadth of our students' interests and experiences. From school productions, trips and Sports Day to expeditions in the Pyrenees, our writers capture many of the moments that have defined the end of the academic year.
This edition also features thought-provoking opinion pieces on climate change, modern music, politics and artificial intelligence, alongside articles exploring history, science and technology, from Bletchley Park and rollercoasters to venomous cone snails, Pando and the remarkable story of Stanislav Petrov.
Whether your interests lie in sport, travel, science, current affairs or simply a well-told story, we hope you will find something to enjoy in these pages. The Barometer team wishes all our readers a restful and enjoyable summer holiday.
