Year 7 at Shrewsbury Academy have been busy making and learning all about electrical circuits πŸ”¬

They explored two ways to identify the positive and negative terminals of an LED, learned how to draw the correct circuit symbols, and practised identifying the positive and negative electrodes of a battery. To help remember, they came up with a brilliant comparison… longer bars of chocolate are positive and shorter bars are negative, just like long leg positive and short leg negative 🍫

Our super scientists then demonstrated their learning by lighting up red LEDs to mirror Red Noses. Their fantastic effort earned them Comic Relief stickers, along with a donation to the charity made by their teacher.

Mr Parker, our Director of Progress for Year 9, has been encouraging his team of form tutors to focus on reading during tutor time.

Some of our more competitive students have been especially motivated by the chance to become a Reading Champion and win an Easter egg! Each time a student reads, they earn a raffle ticket - the most β€œegg”cellent readers will have the best chance of winning.

Students have also been demonstrating FASE in their reading, which stands for Fluent, Attentive, Social and Expressive. These skills help build confidence, comprehension and engagement, and all Shrewsbury Academy teachers are committed to using FASE across lessons πŸ“šβœ¨πŸ‘

Our STEM Club students have been aiming high as they investigated the speed and velocity of rockets after school.

It has been fantastic to see their enthusiasm, curiosity and teamwork as they experimented, tested ideas and of course had plenty of fun along the way πŸš€βœ¨πŸ‘

Our Year 9s have had their very first taste of pastry making and they absolutely smashed it!

They started by creating a basic pastry using flour and butter, using the rubbing‑in method to form soft breadcrumbs. After adding cheese and just a little water, they brought their dough together beautifully.

Once ready, students rolled out their dough and chose to make either cheese straws, twists or biscuits. Their creations looked amazingπŸ˜βœ¨πŸ‘

Our Art students have been getting creative with mono printing experiments. This expressive technique allows students to create unique prints by making marks on a smooth surface before transferring their design onto paper. Each print can only be pulled once, encouraging bold choices, confidence and creativity.

It has been fantastic to see students exploring mark making, layering and texture, and really pushing their ideas further. Their enthusiasm and willingness to experiment shines through in their outcomes πŸŽ¨βœ¨πŸ‘

Our Year 7 scientists have been buzzing!

They explored the fascinating world of pollination, discovering just how vital insects are to our ecosystem. Students investigated how pollen fertilises an ovule to create a new seed, deepening their understanding of the life cycle of plants. It was wonderful to see such curiosity and great scientific thinking in action πŸŒΌπŸ”¬βœ¨
