Science Week is Nearly Here PDF Print E-mail

In two weeks it is Science week, so we will be running some science competitions. For the first one we are encouraging students to sign up at www.britishscienceassociation.org/web/nsew/GetInvolved/ResourcesandActivities/SchoolCompetition.htm. This competition, for Key Stages 3, asks you to carry out research into animal and plant species that are under threat of extinction. You must explain the effects this loss would have on other species and their habitats, and what actions must be taken to prevent this happening.
This must then be presented in the form of a poster with a drawing of the animal accompanied by an explanation of why their chosen species is under threat and what can be done to preserve them for the future.
Prizes for winners in each category include:
  • A Nintendo DS with a game
  • WWF-UK adoptions for the class
  • A family ticket to ZSL London/Whipsnade Zoo.
Winning entries will also be exhibited at ZSL London Zoo and ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.
The closing date for entries is Monday 22 March 2010. To get an entry form, please log in to the NSEW organiser area to download. All entries will require an entry form to qualify.

 

 
Mr Carroll comes back with a Sidekick PDF Print E-mail

 

On 22nd February at 12:33pm, a precious baby boy was born, and he was just what the Doctor ordered. The bouncing baby boy was the new son of our own Mr Carroll, head of Year 10, and he radioed your reporter to tell him about the experience.
 
What did you name your child? He’s called Sonny Carroll.
Why did you choose that name? It was just one that we liked.
When did you find out that a baby was on the way? In August last year.
Was the baby early or late? He kept us waiting for an extra week before deciding to make his appearance.
How did you feel when you first saw your child? It was am mixture of happiness and excitement. I just felt overwhelmed by the whole experience.
What does it feel like, being a Dad? Better than scoring a a hat-trick for England in the World Cup. It’s the best feeling ever.
Were you expecting the baby to be a boy? No, we thought it would be a girl.
How did your family and friends react to the news? Everyone is very happy and proud for us.

Everyone at the Academy would like to congratulate Mr Carroll, and we wish his family all the best for the future.

Sonny Carroll
