<strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tuesday</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">P1 - Our main objective was to start forming the cakes. So after everyone did a little bit more writing in their logbooks they were sent to Imagine to start. First of all everyone was set to plan where their cakes were going to be on their boards. The pyramid and Petra groups had to use some of the math that they had learned to do this. The Petra group learned that their cakes stacked up on one another was not high enough so they had to calculate how many more cakes to bake and baked them before period 2. The Machu Picchu group also discovered they needed one more cake and baked this before period 2.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">P2 - After planning everyone was sent to start cutting the cakes and making the marshmallow crispy cakes. Then when one or two groups were making these supervised the other groups got icing to start binding their cakes together. This ran into period 3.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">P4 - Everyone started to reflect what they did and set individual or group objectives for tomorrow. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Wednesday</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">P1 - When everyone was present they were sent to imagine to start adding the icing on their cakes. The pyramid group placed their marshmallow rice crispy cakes on the top of the pyramid bases and spread butter cream around it to stick the icing to the pyramid. They had a few people doing this and the others were making and rolling out the icing. The Machu Picchu group used their one more cake to form more of the shape and started moulding the marshmallow rice crispy cakes into the ruins around the cakes. Then the Petra group were adding more layers to their cake. Finally the Sphinx group were either helping the Pyramid group or butter creaming their sphinx. A problem that the pyramid group had was that the 5 by 5 pyramids crispy's could not fit so they had to find a solution and decided to make it out of ginger bread. This ran into period 2.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">P2 - All of the groups started rolling out their icing and started to stick them on the cakes. Then some people from all of the groups started to use some icing to make trees and people. Many of the groups showed resilience in their work since there were times when people started to get agitated at how things were working out.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">P3 - Everyone returned to Explore and started to reflect what they did today and what they need to do tomorrow.</span></div>

I've just been told that the student in the "Wind power? I`m a massive fan" project. wants creating this, wants to "take it home and stick it on my wall". This is true student ownership and engagement. This student is one of a small group who have asked if they can present at the school Teachmeet tonight to showcase their work. Of course they can!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can wait to hear how and why they have been completely sol on this project and all it's technical glories. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A processor is a small chip that goes in
computers and other electronic devices. Modern processors can handle trillions
of calculations per second and its basic job is to receive input and provide
the appropriate output. The processor handles all the basic system
instructions, such as processing mouse and keyboard input and running
applications. Furthermore, most desktop computers contain a CPU developed by
either Intel or AMD. Modern CPUs often include multiple processing cores, which
work together to process instructions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Tekton Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A CPU (Central Processing Unit) is like
the brain of the computer. The CPU does all of the computers calculations; it commands
the different components by assigning tasks. The CPU works by combinations of
logic gates to process electric signals. The processor uses these electric
signals to represent these numbers in binary. The CPU can work extremely fast
through the calculations and this generates heat. To keep the CPU cool it often
has a heat sink and fan attached. The heat sink removes the heat quickly from
the CPU. The fan is there to cool down the heat sink. The CPU is often the most
expensive component inside a computer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />PROJECT: Dogs with Jobs with Laura Couch and Amy McVay</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We met the deadline for the calendar to be prepared ready for exhibition Saturday. All the photos were taken by the students after learning about how to take action photos of dogs from a professional photographer. A special thank you must go to Katherine Sayer for her hard work editing and uploading the photos in her own time. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also a massive thank you to Owen George who is doing work experience with us, he's mature, thoughtful and incredibly hard working!</span></blockquote>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are very proud of our year 9 group, they have been committed to the project from day one. We have been out and about last week to soft play, Team Valley and interviewing shoppers at manor walks and a local baby group. Their enthusiasm and behaviour has been fantastic throughout these trips and they have worked hard to create an original product for the baby/toddler market. This week, they are pitching their idea to JoJo Mamma Bebe and Mothercare and we wish them all the best of luck in doing so. Keep up the good work!</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />PROJECT: Bewitch the Mind and Ensnare the Senses with Helen Black and Claire Mark</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The girls doing the Bewitch the Mind and ensnare the Senses project have worked incredibly well last week and are ahead of schedule with their children's books! They visited Newcastle Central Mosque and Newcastle City library and were a real credit to our school, listening well and asking questions. Well done! W can't wait to perform for Hadrian school.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />PROJECT: World Challenge Ghana with Miss Williams and Miss Shiell</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Building, Plastering and painting two classroom blocks with educational murals for the Perfect Peace primary school in Essaman. Running the entire expedition themselves including managing the budget so well we have money left to give an extra donation to the school. We've all landed safely back at Heathrow this morning and can't wait to share our experiences with the 'It's Ghana be alreet pet' project on Wednesday. </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />PROJECT: Media For Surfers with Mr Bing, Mr Martin, Ms McGee. </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After an amazing first week of surfing and research, the group are now totally in control of the project and are using their expertise as a basis to campaign on real life issues they care about. They are going to be using to media to make our oceans cleaner and safer places. There will be an opportunity for all to get involved in a couple of weeks time. Watch this space. </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />PROJECT: Clued Up with Miss Smith and Miss Wilkinson </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The whole group have been fantastic. The highlights have been;</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">· the way they planned and produced a healthy, balanced and nutritious meal on a budget. They were all different and all absolutely delicious, prepared and cooked from scratch.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">· the Boot Camp we did on the beach which was really challenging but huge fun</span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have been overwhelmed by the group’s enthusiasm as a whole, they are beginning to show a real eye for detail and an awareness of what makes great quality work. Also impressed with their dedication, organising a sponsored walk or run to raise money for the charity which runs Northumberlandia and also to fund extra resources which the students will make and print.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />PROJECT: CakeWorld with Miss Dyer, Mrs Patrick and Mrs Hodson</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cakeworld is off to a self-raising start with students using maths, creativity and teamwork skills to design and structurally plan their cake creations. This week the Pyramids, Sphinx, Petra and macho Piccu will start to take shape and we will literally be up to our elbows in cake mix and icing! Join us at the National EAT festival, Sunday in Newcastle, to see our cakes on the Cake Planet!</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />PROJECT: From Archaeology to Artist with Miss Carmichael and Miss Elsy</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A super group of students who are working really hard. They have created a clay sculpture, tile and fossil all in one week inspired by their Archaeology field trip last Monday. The students are sensible and have been really resilient in using a new material. Well done and keep up the great work this week!</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />PROJECT: Military Music Project with Miss Watson and Mr Rigby</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">· Fantastic camaraderie within the band, everyone is pulling together and persevering incredibly well.

The band now have 6 gigs lined up for this week! </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><br />PROJECT: Get Active On A Shoestring with Miss Joyce-Gibbons, Mr Pooley, Mr Horner and Mr Best </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A great start to the project. The group approached all activities enthusiastically and with a ‘can-do’ attitude. On Friday, we asked the students to reflect on the highlights of week 1. They were: the 6 mile walk at Ingram Valley, Pitch and Putt at Whitley Bay, the team building challenges, Mr Horner’s shoestring bootcamp and obviously the fish and chips at South Beach. </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />PROJECT: Trash to Cash Mr Morris & Mr Wright </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well done guys for working great together, you are starting to become better organised and planning ahead which is really improving the quality of your outcomes. </span></blockquote>

<span style="font-size: 11px;"><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1. We all need to see what the purpose of the "team" is, so that we can worrk together.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11px;"><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2 Community an dculture need regular attention.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11px;"><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">3. Critique is a great way to build supportive learning communities. </span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Sans Serif', Arial; font-size: 11px;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Sans Serif', Arial; font-size: 11px;"><b><u>Regular</u> critique & a culture of optimism</b> - a 'we can do' & 'nothing is out of our reach' approach. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Sans Serif', Arial; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Sans Serif', Arial; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;">Took the Crammy Wipeout students out on a trip to meet Britain's strongest man today who owns a strongman gym in Consett. Students treat him like a celebrity; taking pictures of him at the end of the workout he had designed them. This was an opportunity to show a range of fitness strategies. The activities <b>encouraged critiquing</b> technique and <b>team spirit by supporting other students.</b> I asked students to write a paragraph about the experience. Most wrote 3- 4 paragraphs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>

<div style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Sans Serif', Arial; font-size: 11px;">
We have had an exciting day today! We started by reading each other's 1st drafts, offering valuable <b>critiquing</b> to each group. Groups were then able to make necessary changes to their work. We were then visited for a professional storyteller who explained how to read to children. Finally we visited Newcastle Central mosque, exploring the Muslim culture!</div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, 'Sans Serif', Arial; font-size: 11px;">
This constant team work and collaboration helps to promote a collective classroom culture of confidence and happiness, working with our new friends.</div>
