During remote learning in the Lent term, children across both sites enjoyed an incredible virtual Book Week with a range of authors and illustrators giving online workshops and talks.

The SJCS pairs enjoyed some excellent results including: 5th overall, 10th overall and 13th overall.   
Form 6 pupils using their maths skills to measure their fitness levels

Form 6 Maths & Sport Statistics Project 2021

Jun 2021
Form 6 took part in a cross-curricular maths and sports project where they participated in various different fitness exercises and used the statistics gathered to analyse the results. They found out that fitness can be broken down into different components. Health-related fitness includes strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility and body composition. Skill-related components include agility, coordination, reaction time, balance, power and speed. The children looked at predictions using hypotheses and focused on the relationship between cardiovascular endurance and lung capacity, height and agility, and the comparison between height and jumping distance. All the fitness tests provided data which could be compared to normative scores. These normative scores are indicators of how the participant has performed in comparison to the general population.

Ships are made of steel, which starts life as iron ore. Smelting & processing put energy into the ore, turning it into steel. #Corrosion is that energy leaking out, turning the steel back into rust or iron ore. 2V use clay, wire & lollipop sticks to make their own. #shipwrecks https://t.co/bYVRVTDojI
