Specialist School News March 2008

This term has been a very exciting time for Specialist School’s activities.

As part of their preparation for the Key Stage three examinations in May, all Year 9 students attended a revision/study skills seminar. During this workshop they were all shown a range of revision skills that will support them with their examinations coming up in May. Revision materials are still available from the Science, Maths and English departments. Do not forget the BBC bitesize and sam learning websites to support revision.

Two groups of Year 8 and 9 pupils made it through to the Rocket challenge finals that took place on March 28th. Team 1 managed second place, a fantastic achievement, despite the poor weather. Well done to the teams and and many thanks to Ms. Tiltman for all her hard work in this project.

Mr Hiscock is also working hard on the Mars Rover Challenge with a group of Year 9 students. They have to design a vehicle that will go over an obstacle course but will also have detection sensors. This project is linked to EADS Astrium a Portsmouth company.

Training sessions with Portsmouth University teachers continues to be successful and our third session was about levelling, we were please to be joined by a group of Year 9 students that worked alongside our trainees.
