Last Chance to sign up for G28 Raiders and Invaders POL

By Darren Mead18th December 2024

Dear Parents and Carers,

Our Raiders and invaders POL takes place from 4.30pm on Thursday 19th December. Doors will open at 4.15 pm so that the lessons can start promptly at 4.30pm. Yes, you read that right… lessons. Our PoL will take the form of taught lessons where students will teach you about an aspect of Viking History and the science of metallic materials from our expedition. 

We are asking you to sign up for two sessions. Your child will be able to tell you which session they have planned and are carrying out. This will be the first choice you make on the form, but the second session in the evening that you will attend.  This means you will be with your child at the close of the evening and be able to take the “Are you smarter than a Year 10? “ challenge, competing against your child! 

Our DT and IMedia students have designed a kiosk and the interactive quiz as part of their studies, so please also take the opportunity to ask them about their work. 

 

The sign up is below and we will confirm your choice with you in the evening. We will cap the sessions at 15 people. 

 

Class 1 Sign up

Class 2 Sign up 

We are looking forward to seeing you!

G28 GCSE Checkpoint Assessment.

By Darren Mead9th October 2024

G28  have a checkpoint assessment in Science next week  on Tuesday . Students have been directed to help via their Google classrooms.

Students should focus upon the following targets:

LT1 I can use the periodic table to work out what different elements need to be stable

  • I can interpret the Mass and atomic number in terms of the structure of an atom
  • I can draw the electronic configuration of the first 20 elements
  • I can describe how ions are formed and what charge they will have
  • I can write accurate chemical formula of compounds based upon their position in the periodic table

LT2 I can explain the properties of ionic compounds using knowledge about ionic bonds

  • I can explain the electrostatic forms holding ions together in an ionic bond
  • I can represent ions using dot and cross diagrams
  • I can explain the formation of an ionic lattice structure
  • I can I can explain the melting and boiling points, solubility  and the conductivity of ionic compounds
  • I can write accurate chemical formula of compounds based upon their position in the periodic table

LT3 I can explain the properties of covalently bonded compounds and elements

  • I can explain how a covalent bond is formed
  • I can represent simple covalent molecules using various methods
  • I can explain the melting and boiling  point, and conductivity of  small covalent molecules
  • I can describe the structure of giant covalent materials and explain their properties  (Diamond, Graphite, Fullerenes, and silicon dioxide.)
  • I can describe  the size of nanoparticles
  • I can explain the properties and uses of  nanoparticles.
  • I can discuss the advantages and disadvantage of using nanoparticle

LT4 I can explain the properties of metal materials referring to their structure and bonding.

  • I can describe metallic bonding in pure metals
  • I can explain the conductivity of heat and current in metals
  • I can explain the high melting and boiling points of metals
  • I can explain the ductility and malleability of metal materials
  • I can describe a metal alloy and explain their properties
