Well done Mark.

Miss Burrows and Miss Marshall have been very impressed with the attitude to learning the Year 10 boys have displayed in Maths since returning to school. They are trying extremely hard to ensure they secure the knowledge and skills required to progress in Maths. Here they are enjoying an end of lesson game of ‘Play Your Cards Right’. Kai managed a streak of 23 cards! Keep up the hard work lads!

Celebrating ‘Wonderful Work’
Our children have demonstrated that even after lockdown, they’re keen to learn. The teachers planned a bespoke Recovery Curriculum for the first half term, to help all of our children achieve a successful return to school after so long.
Expectations were kept as high as ever, but our teachers planned lessons with a focus on social skills, speaking and listening and building stamina in concentration. Look at all of this wonderful work produced in the first few weeks. Great job everyone!

Today KS3b spent a very windy afternoon taking a stroll along Tynemouth Beach and exploring Tynemouth Park. This week was Shane’s turn to show off his photography skills and impressed everyone with his very serious attitude towards getting the best shot; climbing sand dunes and getting down at ground level to bring his visions to life! Students made the most of the play area they had to themselves trying out all of the equipment!

Today our pupils celebrated European Day of Languages, an event which is celebrated across the continent in recognition of the wide variety of languages spoken here and the importance of learning another language.
Each class in the secondary school cooked a delicacy from another country before all getting together to try the different food.
KS3a knocked up a Greek salad.
KS3b whipped up an Italian tiramisu.
Year 10 tested their mixology skills with a Spanish punch.
Year 11 spoilt us with French crêpes and a variety of toppings.
It was great to see all of the students work collaboratively, using their maths when measuring
and weighing and being able to give their opinions when trying the food. With several students asking for a second serving, it was obvious that the tiramisu was the biggest hit!

They took photos and then attempted the same experiment with black and grey ink to compare against the primary colours they set up first.
