Week 9 Pupils of the Week!!
Pupil of the Week 7th- 11th November
Pupil of the Week 7th- 11th November
Year 11 students have been completing a topic on Forces. The topic includes a Required Practical to prove Newton's Second Law of Motion. The students have used air tracks, light gates and dataloggers to take measurements. From these measurements, they were able to calculate the acceleration of a trolley and plot their data to prove the Law. Mrs Carson's set 'took over' and led the practical activity themselves and worked admirably as a team! Great work Year 11!
The lads played five games on the night winning two (1-0 and 1-0), drawing two (0-0 and 0-0) and losing one game 1-0.
The team who all attend the weekly Futsal club on Wednesday lunch times showed flair and hard work in every game.
A solid display in goal from Isaac Foxcroft behind the defence of Max Kibble and Joshua Greenwood only conceded one goal in the whole tournament.
A hardworking midfield of Bobby Byker, Kasim Nevison and Dylan Bignall worked hard throughout the tournament to limit the other Pendle Schools chances.
Forward players Oliver Sanderson and top scorer Alfie Davies played well in every game. With Alfie Davies scoring one long range goal and one goal cutting in from the wing to smash in across the goal.
Year 9 have had a busy day completing activities towards their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award. Led by Mr Spencer, they have done sessions on First Aid, Bag Packing, Nutrition and Tent assembly. They have had a brilliant time, have demonstrated they can work well in a team and have shown true resilience when faced with a challenge or two! Well done Year 9!
Year 10 are currently using bar models and pictorial representations to solve simultaneous equations. Can you find the value of the shapes and the missing totals?
The year 10 ASDAN group visited Accrington's Carer's café as part of the community module last week.
As part of their identity project some Year 9 Art pupils went to the National Museum of Coal mining on Friday to view a portrait exhibition that aimed to capture the character and emotion of past miners. Pupils were then lucky enough to meet two of the artists and learn more about their use of materials and techniques. Pupils were then inspired to create their own art work in what was a hugely successful workshop. What a fantastic opportunity for the pupils. Some fantastic work was produced.

WC 31st October - 4th November
Year 10 had a long journey to Heysham to play Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy in the Lancashire Cup. The game was played in very windy conditions and our boys conceded just before half-time after dominating the first half.
Park High attacks continued in the second half and despite the one way traffic the lads failed to convert their chances. A tactical switch moving centre forward Rhys Howard to centre back alongside Liam Hopkinson allowed the team to play a very high line and dominate play. Bartosz Jagiello continued to impress in central midfield creating chances for Connor Smith and Callum Scott.
Second half substitute Marcus Cowley worked hard and was a constant threat to the Ripley St Thomas defence. With 5 minutes to go Marcus was brought down in the area and awarded a penalty, The brave striker got up to take the penalty himself which was finely saved by the Ripley St Thomas keeper.
Although the final result 1-0 to Ripley St Thomas was disappointing for the lads they battled hard in the difficult weather conditions showing resilience and a great team spirit.
Our lads finished the tournament with two wins, two draws and one defeat.
Pendle Vale 1-0 win
Marsden Heights 1-0 win
Primet 0-0 draw
Fisher More 1-1 draw
West Craven 1-0 loss
Some great football on the night was capped off with the goal of the tournament from Connor Smith lobbing the Marsden Heights goalkeeper from the half way line.
