Our Year 7 Scientists have been busy looking at Separating Techniques in their Matter Topic. One of their practical challenges today was to extract pure salt from rock salt. They worked effectively in pairs to follow a method with several stages including grinding the rock salt, filtering the solution to remove insoluble impurities and finally, evaporating the water to leave their pure salt behind.

Year 7 have been busy making pizza toast this week. It has been great to see their creative skills coming to the forefront. Students experimented using different cultural breads including naans, baguettes, bagels, rolls and bloomers. They put their knife skills to the test developing their understanding of making something functional while attractive to eat.
KS4 students have been working hard creating some winter themed images using relief printing. Each image has been carved from Lino and individually printed. The detail on some is amazing and the results very pleasing. As each image is peeled and revealed the look on each student's face is priceless as the beam with pride at their creations.
School is open as normal - we are unaffected by the power cuts and access issues from snow.
