  • Horrible Science World Presents
    Horrible Science World Presents: Excellent Experiments and Awesome Activities. The following experiments and activities are taken from the ‘Horrible Science’ series of books published by Scholastic, and are divided into the different Zones that the character Billy Miller visits in the Birmingham Stage Company play ‘Horrible Science’. The journey Billy goes on through Horrible Science World in order to understand science is a good way of introducing the subject of scientific enquiry. Only by developing his knowledge, skills and understanding is Billy able to survive Horrible Science World and save the day. This often involves investigation and trying things out (eg: pushing the button before pulling the lever to control gravity in the Gravitarium) and collaboration (Eg: Billy and the scientists working together to make a circuit.) This is further underlined by the involvement of the audience throughout the play – he needs our help as co-collaborators and co-learners if he’s going to triumph. Links can be made across the scenes in the play to encourage creative thinking (Eg1: the fact that bacteria live inside us is introduced by the Big Bacteria, and then picked up again in Frankenstein’s Lab, as the reason we get stomach gas. Eg2: metal being a good conductor and used in the circuit in Act 1 makes it a potentially dangerous material inside the Thuderdome) The activities and experiments for each zone contain an introduction suggesting further links with the play, and suggestions for how they could be used in helping pupils discover more behind the science in the story. The Fatal Forces Zone Physical processes.

  • The H Eadteacher's Weekly N Ewsletter
    I LEARN TERM 4 FOCUS: ATTITUDE Friday 13th March 2020 A message from the Headteacher: Dear Parents/Carers Coronavirus (Covid-19) We are continuing to follow the Government advice in relation to the coronavirus outbreak currently affecting the UK. Guidance did change yesterday when the Prime Minister spoke to the country regarding moving to the delay phase in response to the outbreak. At present, all schools are to remain open and this was made clear in his briefing. We do of course need to take sensible precautions in school to ensure that we are not putting staff or pupils at any risk. The main symptoms of the virus are a persistent dry cough and a temperature/fever. Anyone with a new cough or a fever should now be self-isolating for 7 days. The new guidance also states that there is now no need to contact NHS 111 when you are self-isolating unless your symptoms deteriorate. Only hospital admissions will now be tested for the virus. Please DO NOT send your children into school if they are displaying symptoms – no matter how mild. Attendance marks will not be affected if you are self-isolating due to the virus. Staff are monitoring all children carefully and for the health and safety of all, we will be sending children home immediately if any symptoms are exhibited in school. If this happens your child cannot return to our school for 7 days. If you are keeping your child at home to self-isolate, then please notify the school in the normal manner using the absence line 01793 427749.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Welcome to the new Scholastic Children’s Books catalogue for 2015. Here at Scholastic, we have a simple idea at the heart of everything we do. We love kids! And we hope that we know kids better than anyone. Real kids: funny, silly, sometimes tired and grumpy, hugely curious, hugely imaginative. We are very proud that Scholastic’s 2015 list has the biggest kid appeal yet. Across the country, little kids snuggling up want bedtime with Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The Scarecrows’ Wedding is their beautiful, pastoral picture book: an instant classic. Mermaid by TV presenter Cerrie Burnell will be another big hit, a sparkling picture book all about friendship and underwater adventure. And for bedtime fun, Alex T. Smith gives a big twist to a classic fairy tale, with wild animals and doughnuts in Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion. What about big brothers and sisters? There’s not a kid aged 7 and up who doesn’t love Tom Gates. As our favourite review says, ”Get this book, it is amazing! You would be so unlucky not to it’s extremely funny and smart.” In 2015 we have Yes No Maybe coming from Tom’s multi-talented creator, Liz Pichon. We’ve also acquired a debut by two of the funniest guys around, Sam & Mark. Jokes and pranks abound in The Adventures of Long Arm. Every kid knows that Captain Underpants is funnier than homework, so we have a brand-new Captain Underpants book for laughing your head off before spellings. For decades now, Scholastic has been publishing the most imaginative books for tweens and young adults.
