Year 10 Football Champions
Published 25/06/23Congratulations to our Year 10 Football team who finished the season as the Year 10 Pendle Champions. Winning the league for the two consecutive seasons.
On Friday evening the team played in a play off against Primet after both teams finished the season unbeaten (4 wins and 1 draw).
The final that took place at Fisher More finished 1-0 to Park with a first half goal from captain Connor Smith.
In central defence both Josh Morley and Rhys Howard were strong against a talented Primet team. Lewis Wilkinson and James Galloway worked tirelessly at full back to support the team in both defence and attack.
The hard working midfield of Bartosz Jagiello, Harvie Gibbs, Joshua Sims and the impressive performance of Harry Smith ensured that Park dominated the game.
Centre forward Charlie Sims led from the front and continued to press and close down Primet and make it hard for them to pass the ball out. Charlie's pace in attack also gave Park the chance to break away and counter attack several times. But it was the match winner Connor Smith that made the difference with a low shot from the edge of the box in the first half.
In the later stages of the game talented goalkeeper Alex Byrne was alert to come off his line and deny the Primet threat.

Year 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

STEM 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.
