G30 9.1 Presentation of Learning – Farrell Centre

On Wednesday 10th December, students in G30 will present their learning at The Farrell Centre and the Kingsgate Centre , sharing the culmination of a term-long inquiry into the guiding question:

‘How are structures important in helping us to explain our world?’

The presentation will run from 16.00 – 17.00. All families need to arrive at the Farrell Centre, Eldon Pl, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RD,  at 16.00. You will then be directed to the the correct building.

Unfortunately, the time has to be earlier for G30 Presentation of Learning due to the Farrell Centre closing early.

Please tell your child’s crew leader if you are unable to attend.

Bake Sale tomorrow

Thank you to everyone who came to the Halloween disco tonight (and everyone who supported in set up, running and degunge!)

We will post tomorrow photos and totals raised but just a quick heads up; we have some delicious sweet treats leftover that we will be selling at break and lunch tomorrow so if you would like to buy something, please bring some change! All proceeds go towards supporting Tiny Lives.

 

Flu Immunisations

Good Afternoon, this is a reminder that students who have consent will receive their flu immunisation in school tomorrow. If you have any questions regarding this then please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Beautiful work from Hector

Hector competed in the British trampoline championships this weekend. He finished in 12th place in his individual event and is now the British bronze medalist in trampoline synchro! An amazing achievement!

G28 have engaged energetically and enthusiastically with Romeo and Juliet this term and have shown the same level of excitement about this debate.

Many of the students had already prepared arguments in their own time, knowing they would only have 30 minutes to prepare in their groups.

I have attached photos of the students preparations and also a screenshot of my notes that I took during the debate. You can clearly see the sophistication of the arguments raised and supported by textual evidence.

Fantastic work G28!
