Good Evening Everyone

We’ve been to the University of Sunderland tonight to celebrate the successes of some of our amazing pupils. We entered a competition where pupils had to create a new invention to deal with some of the problems in the world today. After completing some amazing work to create their new inventions and competing with schools around the country with over 28’000 entries 3 of our pupils won through to the final of the competition and exhibition.
Huge congratulations to Sophie F in Year 7 and Josh in Year 9 who were in the highly commended category and to the overall winner Daniel in Year 9.
We are so proud of you all and well done to our inspirational young engineers 

During our lesson for Topic we split into two groups and worked together looking at fact cards and writing down facts that we thought was most interesting. The children did great teamwork and identities facts that they all found interesting and different about Maya people.

Today for our practical in Science we split into groups of two. The children looked at creating a full circuit using a power supply, buzzer, wires and a light bulb. Then they looked at when circuits break and when they aren’t complete. They had to problem solve in identifying how to make a full circuit while working in teams.

Today we practiced our money skills by creating our very own Croft Shop in Birch. The children had a handful of objects that were labelled with a price tag and they were given random amounts of money. The children came up and asked for the object that they wanted and had to give Mrs Dunn the correct change.
The children were super excited to give the correct amount to Mrs Dunn and to receive their object!

Today we recapped our knowledge of what a noun was. The children were asked what a noun was and all of them said a person, place or thing. The children were asked to pick an object and to tell staff what the noun was. We then looked at a PowerPoint to help explain what a expanded noun was. The children had to choose the adjectives to develop an extended noun.
The children were asked to identify what a noun was in each sentence, before selecting adjectives.

Today for our Maths lesson we have started to learn about MONEY! We created our own shop and we had to use money to buy what we wanted. We had to challenge ourselves to see if we had enough for what we wanted. We had to count out the correct amount and we had to recognise the correct coins.
