Today, Class 11 have been creating more circuits in preparation for their results section of their scientific report. They have included a switch this time to see how it would affect the flow of electricity in a simple series circuit. See below images of how Class 11 managed to get the circuits working!
Another great session with Coach Kyle today. We learned more about teamwork, dribbling and controlling the ball. Please remember to send OUTDOOR PE kit for our next session in 2 weeks time.
Well done to Martha and Reggie, our postcard winners today. Kepp up the great work guys!
We’re looking for Maths, Science, Art & Design and Humanities Teachers at XP Gateshead.
If that’s you, watch this video.
This is our community. These are our stories. Come teach and be a part of it.
The week beginning 30th January will be ‘Maths Week’ and we will have lots of fun things happening in school to raise the profile of maths.
Below are some dates that you may want to know in advance:
Thursday 2nd February 2pm – 4pm : Maths drop in session
Join us in the hall to play some fun maths games with your child/ren between the times of 2pm and 4pm. Feel free to drop in at anytime between these times. This will be led by the Learning Council so please come along to support.
Friday 3rd February: NSPCC Number dress up day!
On Friday 3rd, we are encouraging the children to dress up in maths and number related outfits to raise money for the NSPCC charity. Suggested donation is £1.
Year 5 will now have PE every Thursday. This term we will be doing hockey. We will be outside when we can so please bring warm clothes.
Children do not need an XP Outdoors kit as they will be doing French this term.
Here is a little update of Class 11s first two week backs after Christmas, now that photos are full working!
In our hook week, we looked into our first Case Study, which will look at electricity and other fuels. We thought it was a great idea to walk around school and search for different electrical appliances. We found so many!
As part of our Case Study 2 hook day, we were looking at biology and more specifically flowers. We labelled the different parts of our artistic flowers and created some beautiful designs!
Next, we looked at the other part of Case Study 2, which will be looking into humans. We created some really fantastic x-rays, so lets hope these are the only x-rays for Class 11 this year!
This week we have started our Case Study fully and have developed our knowledge further of electricity and more specifically circuits. We worked well collaboratively and persevered to make the different circuits light up. Not only can we make circuits, we can name the components of a circuit!
Other great learning has taken place and more beautiful work has been produced, which we can’t wait to continue sharing!
On a personal note, thank you Class 11 for making me feel very welcome and a part of the Crew. Let’s keep being amazing and producing more wonderful work. Happy weekend, guys! 😆
