Year 9 did so well calculating the speed of some Olympians to practice using word equations and learn the importance of units!🏅🏅🏅@BassalegSciTech

My single applied class used problem solving skills to investigate Christmas lights today. We learnt why parallel circuits are better for lights than series circuits! @BassalegSciTech @BassalegSchool1 🎄💡🔋

9C1 used their understanding of pH to create a pH rainbow this morning. Some dexterity and precision skills were put to the test. How beautiful were their efforts! @SchoolChemTech @BassalegSciTech @BassalegSchool1

'Get to know you' Jenga to start the day with my new year 12 form. Excited to be a part of their sixth form journey! @Bassaleg6th @BassalegSchool1 #believingandbelonging 🦌

What a lovely way to start the day! Ice creams for my form's good uniform recently. Thank you @Bassaleg6th! #tuckyourshirtin @BassalegSchool1

Proud of 7AWI for flexing their data skills whilst researching the impact of plastic pollution📊💪@BassalegSciTech @BassalegSchool1

[Miss Backhouse @MissBackhouse1]

7AWI have been so interested in our Earth topic🌍🌋Particularly when there is chocolate involved!😉#rockcycle @BassalegSciTech @BassalegSchool1

Thanks @AChaseBassaleg for inviting Beth and I to share some hints and tips for embedding skills into lessons with NQTs and new staff this afternoon. It was great to share some ideas - we even gave jamboard a go!

Recently rediscovered @PhETsims. Year 9 enjoyed investigating GPE in the skate park 🛹 @BassalegSciTech

My three ways to wellbeing at the moment;
1. Chatting with friends and family👩‍👩‍👧‍👦
2. Cooking from scratch - I've just starting baking bread 🍞
3. Sewing embroidery - yes I'm from the 18th century 🪡

@miss_snelgrove ... how about you?

I love watching them type away! Here year 11 are giving feedback to one another on their final 'Who Killed Polly?' report. @BassalegSciTech @BassalegSchool1

[Miss Backhouse @MissBackhouse1]

Wouldn't normally use a word search, but for engagement at the start of the lesson and recognition of keywords this worked a treat with Applied Science P5 👍 Thanks for the idea @mrsthomassci20 @BassalegSciTech

[Miss Backhouse @MissBackhouse1]

Loving @Mentimeter for quick feedback on prior knowledge and progress checks throughout a lesson.

[Miss Backhouse @MissBackhouse1]

@mrsthomassci20 @nearpod @BassalegSchool1 @BassalegSciTech Ooh I may have a go then - Thanks😊

[Miss Backhouse @MissBackhouse1]

@EmmaNeuropsych Thanks for this resource! It has been helpful to me and I plan to share aspects of it with my sixth formers next week! https://t.co/FM6Tdp2Q29 #wellbeingmatters

@DrStark22 @WhiteboardFi @BassalegSciTech @BassalegSchool1 Nice! Was it easy to use? I was thinking of giving it a try with year 9 for GPE/KE calculations...

[Miss Backhouse @MissBackhouse1]

I tried out Blooket and Padlet with year 10 applied science today. Thanks to @MrsWCymraegBas1 and @miss_Snelgrove for sharing these online tools. They have been great for diversifying my lessons💻👍 @BassalegSchool1

For 11K3, the plot has thickened and predictions have changed... @BassalegSciTech @BassalegSchool1
