Y11 Science Experiment
Today we did an experiment to see how different water temperatures affect the reaction of yeast. We tested at 20, 30 and 40 degrees. Sugar was added to the water and yeast to speed up the reaction.

There were videos to watch, boards to read, things to colour and make and even Mr Baker’s medal to look at. Thanks to everyone that came along.

Please watch the video for more information or feel free to come along to class and see our work. Also, did you know the leaf of the poppy should be at the 11 o clock position?

Anti-Bullying Week Reflections
It was really pleasing to see how well the Springwell pupils have responded to Anti-Bullying Week. Today in assembly Mr Mangham reminded us all about the importance of tolerance and respect. He particularly focused on people who have disabilities. The video showed us all that bullies are cowards and everyone has rights. I think it is important to realise that not everybody is ordinary. If you are not ordinary then you are extraordinary. Disability makes you extraordinary! We must always remember to respect each other, be kind and enjoy what everyone has to offer and contribute to the school community.
