Read MoreYear 7 Scientists just keep spinning...
Published 19/06/23Year 7 have been studying a topic on Space. As part of their learning, they conducted an investigation into how orbital time os affected by the radius of an orbit or 'Do planets further away from the Sun orbit slower or faster?'.
They made use of our wonderful grounds at Park to take their investigation outside to give them more room to allow them to 'orbit' a mass on a string around their heads. They had great fun and collaborated well as a group with different individual roles. Great job Year 7! #collaboration #teampark
Read MoreSTEM ambassadors tie themselves in knots...
Published 19/06/23Dr Richard Elwes from Leeds University came into Park to talk to the STEM Ambassadors about the maths of knots. In this hands on session, they had the opportunity to learn about when a knot is a knot and when it isn’t: an unknot apparently (who knew?). They also earned about why studying knots is important in applications in Biochemistry (e.g. entanglement of DNA) and Quantum Physics. The students had some great questions for Richard and were fascinated by the discussions.

Read MoreSpread Kindness!
Published 13/06/23The recent ‘World empathy day’ definitely inspired our students and staff to think about different ways in which they could spread kindness throughout the day. Our reading ambassadors did a fantastic job running activities in the library at break time all associated with Empathy!
They helped pupils complete word searches, riddles, book marks and facilitated the student challenge of sharing as many compliments about their learning as possible throughout the day. This was a huge success and made many teachers and students feel wonderful!
