Cooking with Bacon!
" Lunchtime today , 9CN had the pleasure to enjoy Mr Bacon`s Breakfast. The students watched on while Mr Bacon showed some amazing cooking skills as he introduced the class to chemical reactions. "
Year 7 Working Together
The success of outdoor adventure activities is dependent on ingenuity, collaboration, and communication. Year 7 were given the challenge to work as a team and move along the 3G AstroTurf using the wooden planks.
The students had to come up with 2 different methods of moving on the wooden planks, so that they could compete in a race against the other team! There was giggles, failures, screams and fabulous collaboration!

Celebrating Dr Who
On Thursday 23rd November, it was the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, the popular sci-fi TV series that has captivated the nation since 1963! To celebrate, we held a Doctor Who event in the Library after school. Students had the opportunity to go into the planetarium with Mr Spain, chat all things Doctor Who with Mr Coll (who's a Doctor Who superfan!), read some of the books we have on offer in the Library and even make their own mini Tardis!
Mr Spain showed 'We are Aliens' in the planetarium, narrated by Rupert Grint, which explores the possibilities of extra-terrestrial life. Also showing downstairs in the Library was The Science of Doctor Who with Professor Brian Cox. Students were fascinated to see how some of the events in Doctor Who might possibly be explained with science. We also watched some montage clips from flashback episodes that included Peter Davidson (who opened the planetarium at Winston!!) in preparation for the anniversary episodes that are being released over the next couple of weeks!
One of the most popular activities was definitely for students to make their own mini Tardis! It was very fiddly but the students loved it and the finished products look great!
Thank you to students and staff who came along to join in the fun, and keep your eyes peeled for the next themed event after Christmas!
Our Doctor Who display in the Library will be up for the next few days so if you would still like to make a model Tardis, or have a go at any other Doctor Who puzzle, please come and take a look!
