When leaners come and ask


you if you are squeamish you
always wonder whats coming
next! On this occasion it was
the Science Club who were
doing some dissection of a rat it was fascinating and it was
great to see learners so
absorbed in their learning.
Lets all hope that we see some
sunshine next week! Have a
great half term break!

Geography Field Trip


On Wednesday 20th May, Year
10 geographers completed
their data collection for their
controlled assessment.

The aim of the day was to


collect as much data and
evidence as possible for their
investigation about beaches
and coastal processes. To do
this we visited Flamborough
Head and Mappleton on the
East Y orkshire coast . These
locations allowed the learners
to compare the hard chalk
headland of Flamborough, with
the boulder clay cliffs of
Mappleton.
Our day involved completing
beach transects, beach
profiles, sketching, wave
counting and observing the
many different coastal features
that show how the sea is
shaping t he coast at bot h
locations.
The day was a massive success,
with all learners seeing
geography happening in the
real world!

Nurture
Nurture were very excited to go on a trip to Eyam as part of the medieval England
topic. The trip spanned two days (Thursday and Friday) to accommodate both
nurture groups. The idea of the trip was to visit the Derbyshire village that was
struck by the bubonic plague in 1665. The trip included a tour of the museum
and the surrounding area.
