Finding your way

Well its been a week since I last wrote anything and its has once again flown by.



Last Wednesday night we had the treasure hunt around the school so students could get used to the layout. There were lots of questions and I have received alot of e mails since then and hopefully I have answered all of them!



One or two students asked about getting lost. This is a real concern for a lot of new students to the school (and new staff), but I can reassure you we do look after you. When you start you will be given guides who will take you from lesson to lesson and keep an eye out for you. If you ever get lost, then Mrs Croisdale and Mrs Thacker on front reception will always find out where you should be.



This week has been very exciting. Being a Scientist I should like all the disciplines, but as a Physicist, I tend to enjoy talking about stars and electricity than the human body or chemicals. But this week I was reminded how great Biology is. My Year 7 students were working with microscopes and had a fantastic time looking at skin and onion cells and what a coffee grain looks like when magnified a 100 times! We are never too old to learn.

Some Year 5 students were also in this week doing a technology day. They all seemed to enjoy the day massively and the work they produced was excellent. In some ways that is the start of their transition for next year. By then those of you who are starting in September 08 will be almost in Year 8. Time really does fly by.
