Today we had a visit from NHS nurses who talked to pupils from year 9 and 10 about annual health checks that they will be invited to go to  when they turn 14 years old. They found out about the checks that might be done on them by the nurses when they have the check, like blood pressure, having…

Staff in 9A thought that pupils must have got of bed very late this morning as they were still in their pyjamas then we realised…. They were taking part in the Jim Jam Jog and they all had a very good time, the photographs say it all !

9A have done a lot of work on the effect of pollution on our the environment and how it makes us feel. Pupils have all agreed that it looks disgusting when places are full of litter and it makes us sad. So we decided to go and clean up one of the local parks by collecting up the litter and putting…

9A had a very colourful week.  In Science we made ‘silent fireworks by mixing oil and water and then added food colour and watched as the colour ‘exploded’ in the water. We then noticed how the oil floated on top of the water and made a seperate layer.

We then all had had a lovely visit to…

Pupils in 9A were given a choice of classroom jobs and asked to choose one they would like to apply for. They then completed an application form saying why they would be good at the job and why they should be chosen and now everyone has been successful in securing a job in 9A.

We have then done lots of Christmas themed activities. We have made cards and some Santa sweet cones which look…

A huge thank you to Initiate Theatre for their fantastic performance of Dick Whittington this afternoon. Key Stage 3 and 4 Classes had a great time! 

Well with all the rain recently, water definitely has been a theme in 9A!

In Science we looked at how magnetism still worked in water. Pupils were amazed how they could still move the paper clip around in the glass of water using a magnet.

In Art we carried on looking at famous artists and…

This term 9A have done some fantastic work in our speaking and listening in circle time. To help us remember to take turns to listen and to speak we use ‘The talking turtle’ which means that we can speak if we have hold of it and if we don’t then it we listen and wait our turn to speak. This has…
