C28/E27 Superb Focus and Effort in English LOOL

Over the last half term we began a project focused on the documentary ‘Blackfish’ about the plight of orcas at Seaworld.

After completing our research and extending our comprehension skills last half term, this half term we are starting to apply this to our GCSE Component 2 English Language Transactional Writing tasks.

Today in LOOL students started to plan a persuasive e-mail which we will be sending to the governor of Orlando, Florida explaining why we feel orcas and other sea animals should no longer be held at Seaworld.

The focus and engagement of all the students involved has been superb and I am very excited to see what they produce.

Well done guys!

C28 Terrarium Workshop

C28 have been getting green fingered today. Over the course of an hour they put their learning about the nutrient, water and carbon cycle into practice. Creating beautiful miniature ecosystems that will survive without (much) human interference.

These will be displayed at the Y10 climate conference next Wednesday (17/07/24), where some of C28 will explain to members of the public how they work and how they were created. During this event they will also be for sale for £15, with all proceeds going towards Duke of Edinburgh award. Any that are not sold will be donated to local care homes to help bring the outside in!

If you would like to reserve your child’s creation so it is not sold next week, please send your child in with £15 by next week or if you would prefer to pay by card this can be done in school.

What a great day!
