The events run by the school's Rumble Museum will include a range of speakers, workshops, projects, and a labyrinth-themed afternoon of activities and stalls.

Year 10 pupil, Rachel said: "It was fun painting the labyrinth though quite hard getting the paint between the lines as it was very gloopy!

"I personally think that labyrinths are really interesting, their designs are so complicated and intricate."

Fiona, a year 10 pupil, said: "Painting the labyrinth was really fun because it is such an unusual experience and it was great to get to together and work on it as a team.

"What I find interesting about labyrinths is the stories surrounding them."

Oscar, also in year 10, said: "I guess Labyrinths are interesting because the idea of a maze is a basic idea but one that can be explored in many different ways.

"The idea of the labyrinth is one that has been changed throughout history in many different ways and that’s why I find such an interesting concept."
