Students on Gold Reward this week were treated to trampolining in Gateshead. This was a great way for students to build bridges and engage in a different environment. Students from a variety of classes all worked well as part of a group and every student interacted with one and other. It was a really nice afternoon.

Students in The Green Room visited the Co-op and had an excellent learning experience. They worked the tills, learned how to use the barcode readers and had a great time restocking the shelves.

Some year 10 and 11 students attended the Utilita Arena in Newcastle for a careers and information fair. The students were able to speak to many different stall holders. Students talked to colleges, looked into apprentices and looked at jobs in which were hands on and could work up through the levels.
The students really enjoyed the session, they all took part in activities and interacted very well and maturely with the staff on all of the stalls. Students really showed interest and they asked fantastic questions to gain as much information as possible.

In The Green Room, students collected rocks to make ‘Journey Cains’.
Ashleigh sorting out the rocks.
The Journey Cairns relate to the journey’s that the students would like their lives to take from short term goals at the bottom, to long term goals at the top.
This activity helped the students to think about how the decisions they make now can affect things that happen in the future.
Gardening at the Beacon Centre
Students in The Green Room have been learning how to plant seeds for winter vegetables.
Over 100 seeds were planted including carrot, sprouts, leeks, parsnip, spinach and swede.
We are hoping to have a bumper crop to use in the school in a few months.
‘What’s in the News’ is a new topic in The Green Room where students browse various news websites and conduct some in-depth research into a story that catches their eye.
Students complete a piece of work to summarise the main parts of the story and once completed, the students discuss the stories that they have researched.
The students work is put onto the display in the classroom for all to see. Keep checking for more updates.
Every morning our secondary students are welcomed into school and have the opportunity to receive a free breakfast. This is offered again at morning break time.
Students enjoy having something to eat and drink. It allows provides the opportunity for staff and students to socialise together at the table.
