Students investigated the physics of rides in Science earlier this week, building a rollercoaster track for marbles using card and tape. They looked at how much the marble's potential energy at the start of the track is converted to kinetic energy at various points of the track.
As part of our focus on local history the students built their own spitfires and decorated them with their own unique artistic flair. We now have a squadron of spitfires flying proudly in the building. #spitfire#localhistory#stoke#reginaldmitchell
As part of #STEM activities last week students used problem solving to look at how the foundation, frame and joints of a structure must be able to withstand enormous tension and compression forces from the weight of its own materials, the load of people and equipment it holds.
The students were fantastic and were respectful about the different cultures and religions. The staff enjoyed getting dressed up and looked amazing! To top the day off, we ordered curry for lunch. The day showed how important it is to embrace #culture and #diversity. (2 of 2)
Friday was a celebration of South Asian culture. We explored the differences between the four major religions in the region. Learned why cricket is such a popular sport in the area. Students also got to create their own henna designs, and dress up in traditional outfits! (1 of 2)
(2 of 2) Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a condition that affects a small number of under 16s, seriously affecting the joints and the immune system. About half of those diagnosed will have the condition for life. For more information please visit jia.org.uk/jiaawarenessweek/
This week is national Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) awareness week. To raise awareness of this condition students and staff that want to will be invited to wear something purple to school on Friday 7th July. #JIA#NRAS#JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis (1 of 2)
On Thursday our students stepped back in time 123 years to Victorian England and attended a school lesson in 1900 at Blists Hill Victorian Town. It was very interesting to see the differences between how lessons were taught then and now. #blistshill#Victorian#education
This week we embraced our local history with a celebration of Stoke-on-Trent by looking at pottery making, Spitfires and recreating Sir Stanley Matthews dribbling skills. #StokeOnTrent#localhistory#spitfire#pottery
