On Tuesday afternoon, twenty Year 10 students met with Mrs Eulert and Mr Allen to celebrate their high attainment.
All students celebrated gaining their Ambition postcard and a tube of Smarties in recognition of how SMART they are.
It was fantastic to see so many parents and students at last nights Year 11 Success Fayre.
The evening started with a presentation from Mrs Eulert and Mr Allen outlining the key dates for the year and the countdown to the Summer Examination 2024.
All students collected a 'goody bag' of chocolate, important dates, mock exam timetable, how to access exam boards information and revision resources including pads, pens and highlighters to help during mock examination preparation.
As part of the Fayre parents and students circulated the room to collect summary specifications and revision packs from each subject area.
Also during the evening, there was an opportunity to talk to Nelson and Colne College, Burnley College and Training 2000.
This morning, all parents have been emailed the presentation, instructions for ordering Revision Guides and the important dates document.
Brilliant literacy development today. As a school, we work hard to accelerate our students' reading abilities to ensure they are confident, fluent and happy readers in all of their subject areas #Reading #Teampark #Literacy #Readingforpleasure
Year 10 students studying their Energy Topic have been working out this morning to help them to understand the concept of Power. They really 'stepped up' their game and 'lifted' their spirits as they timed their activities and calculated the power of the energy transfers.
Year 8 have been learning about the process of gelatinisation by making macaroni cheese. They have learnt how to make a roux-based sauce using fat, flour and milk before adding cheese and mixing it into their pasta.
Year 7 have been putting into practice their food safety knowledge about cross-contamination and temperature control by making chicken goujons. They have also learnt some essential practical skills by breading (pane) their chicken and making fresh mayonnaise to serve with it.
In Physical Education this week students have been focussing on their end of term assessment. Year 8 have focussed on the Curriculum Related Expectation - Use of skills and techniques when using a ball to throw, catch, pass, shoot or bounce. Students have used our assessment grids to evaluate their skills and make judgements on the progress made this half term. They have then used this knowledge to give feedback and advice to others in the class.
Year 8 have been superb during basketball lessons this half-term and can now look forward to badminton and rugby after half-term.

Last week, the army visited our school and conducted an assembly for the Year 10 students. This assembly was a great hit with our Year 10 students and many questions were asked throughout!
The visit was career focused and based on the different career pathways and roles related to the army. Our Year 10’s thoroughly enjoyed it!
On Wednesday 18th October we will be hosting the Year 11 Success Fayre. The event is taking place from 5.00pm - 6.30pm and is an informal but important event with the opportunity to speak with Curriculum Leaders about achieving success in the demanding GCSE examinations.
There are no appointments required for this event as the event will be running as a Fayre in the hall. But expect to be here at least 30 minutes. It is recommended to come 5.00pm-5.30pm, 5.30-6.00pm or 6.00-6.30pm. During the evening there will be opportunity to order our recommended Revision Guides that can be purchased through your MCAS account.
Year 11 students have been prepared for this through assemblies and form activities and parents should have all received their email invite last week.
