The Senior Unit

Welcome back to another week of fun, games and the pursuit of learning. You may hear that we have a new face in the classroom over the next 3 weeks. Mrs Yasmin Harman-Smith is joining us as a pre-service  teacher. We wish her well for her stay with us. UOI This week students are carrying out and finishing off a three part assignment on a renewable energy source. The components of the task are to create a Frayer Model Diagram, create a flow chart going from the source to the house and finally making a 3D model of an example that harnesses the energy.  In the past, the model has been a task that some students really go beyond the basics and we love this. Feel free to give a hand in creating the model. We love seeing the ingenuity and creativity in making and creating.  Spelling - List 24 Group 1: ‘gu’ words (guide, extinguish, guarantee) Group 2: ‘u’ for ‘ue’ (unique, peculiar, unicycle) Whole School Updates   Thanks for supporting our  Splash of Yellow Day today , the  Book Week  last w
