Newsletter 18 1 2019 3rd March 2017 STANDING OUT THE MAGAZINE FOR MOUNTS BAY ACADEMY Cover: Dry Ice 18th January 2019 PRINCIPAL’S REPORT Be empathetic and the world will be a better place because of you! Last year we launched our ‘MBA Way’ which everyone has embraced and which is now starting to show some amazing results. In conjunction with our High Performance Learning and commitment to Global Goals, they are now all embedded in our school life and providing the focus for our learning. “Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling with the heart of another.” Alfred Adler This week in our Crew Meetings we have been looking at the way in which we celebrate our students excelling in their work or behaviour. They also gave their views on how they could be rewarded with a system to replace the Vivo system we have used in the past. After half term we will be introducing the MBA passport, a new way to record our excellent work and celebrate the success that this can bring. Students will be able to receive credits from staff and tutors that can be converted to points and exchanged in the school shop for prizes. My colleagues have also been working hard planning for our forthcoming Project Week and I am pleased to GLOBAL CHAMPION say that up to 30 students will be working with Miss Wheeler to reinstate our poly tunnel into the new community GrowSpace. In keeping with our policy to re-use and recycle as much as we can, we have appealed to the local community for any surplus compost, pots and tools which we will be using to grow food for a number of local groups including the Street Food Project Penzance. As an Apple Distinguished School we strive to make the world a better place for parents, students and staff . In the fast paced world in which we live we are always Goodlooking Luck at Molly the way we communicate with you. Next week we will be asking parents and students to give us your views in an online questionnaire. Please look out for the invitation to take part in your email inbox; this is an important exercise for us and we really want to know your views. Finally, it was great to celebrate the first Hot Chocolate Friday of 2019 today at break-time. Well done Morgan for gaining your Full Colours, I look forward to seeing what you do next! Best wishes Les Hall - Academy Principal Well Done Morgan! DABE VINCI YOUR PROGRAMME BEST REAL Project Research Kitto in 8 Blue has been awarded a Da Vinci for his homework task in REAL Project. The task was to interview a family relative, neighbour or friend that had been around during WW2, particularly during The Blitz. Students were required to find out from an authentic audience their experiences during this time, not necessarily to increase their knowledge about the topic but to feel empathy towards the challenging times in 1940. “Whilst I was researching my grandma’s family history for REAL Project I found out something I did not know. When my grandma was little her dad ran the swimming baths in Kingston-upon-Thames. She watched the British frogmen training in the pool. They were a secret scuba-diving unit called The L.C.O.C.U (Landing Craft Obstruction Clearance Units) who, on D-Day, cleared over 2,400 mines, tank traps and steel barricades enabling the British Invasion crafts to reach the Normandy beaches. The training in the pool was top secret, but she was too young to give away the secret.” Report by: Miss Osborne BE CURIOUS Science Technician Workshop This week Mounts Bay Academy held its first science technician meeting. It was a great success, with 18 technicians from around Cornwall attending. The training was run by the Institute of Physics, who gave some demonstrations and provided hands on practical work about electromagnets and magnets. We also had a representative attending from Breckland Scientific, who held a dry ice workshop. It was fun filled day with plenty of time for networking. We hope they all enjoyed their day and took some fun practical work back to their own schools. Report by: Miss Wheeler RHS Award Congratulations to the Year 8 students who planned the poly tunnel revamp last term and earned the Academy an RHS School Gardening Level One Award. The revamp is now in full swing, so watch this space for more updates. See Miss Wheeler in the Science prep room if you want to help with this project or if you have any ideas! Report by: Miss Wheeler Discovery This week’s Teach WOW was ‘Discovery’. At MBA we always encourage students to take risks in their learning. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as; problem solving situations where the learner draws on his or her own past experiences, to using existing knowledge to discover facts and relationships and new truths to be learned. In REAL Project students have been researching first person accounts of WW2 from relatives and friends. Some students have made remarkable discoveries, one even involving information that at the time was top secret. This research will help the students as they develop their project work. Year 10 Art students have been discovering how the British ‘Avant- Garde’ artists, including Henry Moore and Peter Lanyon, experimented with different Art forms, including that of etching. Year 8 scientists watched an explosive demonstration to help them understand respiration. Angel Delight powder was set on fire creating a huge flame. This showed that the sugar (glucose) reacted with oxygen (in the air) to produce energy. BE CREATIVEBE CREATIVE Discovering Etching Year 10 GCSE Art students have been discovering how artists of the British 'Avant-Garde' including Henry Moore and Peter Lanyon experimented with different Art forms including that of etching. The term 'Avant-Garde' is used in French, English, and German to refer to works that are rather more experimental or innovative; a pushing of the boundaries in many cases of what is accepted as the norm. Year 10 are starting their print making journey and having experimented this week with etching, they will move on to discover techniques including lino printing and collographs. Report by Mrs Dale BE CREATIVEBE INVOLVED Year 7 Social Club Every Monday Miss Westren and a group of Year 7 students meet up at Year 7 Social Club. The students have the opportunity to interact with their peers in a positive and nurturing environment, learn new skills, make new friends and have fun! Since September they have a covered a wide variety of activities, from designing and playing boards games, creating Kahoot quizzes and competitions and taking Charlie the school dog out for walks, to making Christmas cards and decorations and even enjoying a Halloween themed party! This week students started designing ‘positive pebbles’, which “It is super fun, so far I have made four new they are going to paint and display friends, just from Social Club. I feel like I in Reception; watch this space! “always have a friend by my side. If you join, you might even make some more!” - Katie 7 Green “It puts a smile on my face and is a good way to start my week at school.” – Marley 7 Yellow “I love Social Club because it brings friends together, from different backgrounds and it means we can all have fun together.” – Edward 7 Yellow All Year 7 students are welcome to join us every Monday after school in Room 48 from 3.15pm – 4.15pm. ” Report by: Miss Westren BE CREATIVEBE INVOLVED Art Clubs Art and Graphics Clubs are open to all students. They take place every Monday and Wednesday in the Art Department for Years 9, 10 and 11 and on a Thursday in room 17 for Years 7 and 8. Attending the after-school sessions is flexible and you can drop in to continue with your art and design work started in class or you can work on your own individual piece over a series of weeks. Trying your hand at drawing, painting, printing or digital work in a relaxed and happy environment is key and we welcome anyone that really wants to have a go at experimenting with new ideas. Many GCSE students use the opportunity after school to develop their coursework further, using the wide range of materials available. Art Club is a great opportunity to build up Creativity hours for your ‘Colours’ and for your Duke of Edinburgh Award. If you would like to know more, just ask Mrs Dale, Miss Green or Miss Taylor. Report by: Mrs Dale BE INSPIRED Vegan Food at MBA The canteen has a range of vegan food options available for students and staff to enjoy. For example: Fruit Pots Potato Waffles Nachos Salad Sanwich Salad Wrap Jacket Potato with Beans Hummus Dipper Pots Nacho Dipper Pots (excluding the sour cream) Salad Bar (excluding coleslaw) Apple Turnover Shortbread Flapjack Oatie Biscuits Chocolate Krispies Lots of the main menu vegetarian options are also vegan for example: Sweet Potato Curry, Lancashire Hotpot, Bean Chilli and Vegetarian Pie. Others can be adapted to be vegan, for example Quesidilla and Burrito. Please just ask if you have any queries. Pre-order your food to guarantee you get your choice.

  • Application on Behalf of Cornwall Council and Caradon Observatory for Bodmin Moor to Be Considered As an International Dark Sky Landscape
    1 Executive Summary Bodmin Moor is a special place. Amongst the many environmental designations ranging from the international to the local, Bodmin Moor forms part of an Area of Outstanding Beauty. This means it benefits from the same planning status and protection as English National Parks. Visitors are already drawn to the dramatic panoramas, varied wildlife and intriguing history, with those already in the know also appreciating and learning about the stars in the exceptionally dark night sky. Caradon Observatory readings taken in and around Bodmin Moor quantify the remarkable quality of the sky’s darkness and correspond with the findings of the Campaign to Protect Rural England Night Blight study. The results show that even around the villages there are impressive views of the night sky. There is considerable support from the public and stakeholder organisations for the establishment of Bodmin Moor as an International Dark Sky Landscape with “Park” status. Feedback from residents, businesses, landowners, farmers, astronomers, educators, environmental bodies and other statutory and charitable organisations has helped shape the proposals. Enthusiasm is such that there have already been calls to widen the buffer zone if the designation is successful. The alternative title for the designation stems from local feedback and reflects the AONB status. Bodmin Moor comprises a varied moorland landscape with a few small villages and hamlets so there is very little artificial light. Nevertheless, steps have been taken and are continuing to be made to reduce light pollution, particularly from streets. This means that the vast majority of lighting is sensitive to the dark night sky and is becoming even more sympathetic.

  • NEWSLETTER 135 June 2014 Registered Charity No
    Registered Charity No. 105565 NEWSLETTER 135 June 2014 Registered Charity No. 1055654 CAS AGM 2014 – PRESIDENT’S REPORT by Prof Valerie Maxfield. This report, despite being termed ‘The President’s Report’, is in reality a report on the work of the whole committee and it aims to include a representative look at our work in an active year when much has been achieved. Last year I started with the report of a happy event, the award of the RAI Anniversary Prize, in the form of a glass plaque which has been displayed in the Royal Cornwall Museum. On a sad note, we lost one of our most well-known members, in the person of Mick Aston, of ‘Time Team’ Fame. Mick was a respected academic archaeologist, tutor in Adult Education and professor of Archaeology at Bristol University. But he wore his scholarship lightly; he had a light touch which allowed him, and his trademark stripy jumpers, to attract a very considerable popular following. Following his retirement, Mick was moving down to Cornwall and we were looking forward to his increasing participation in the archaeology of the County. But he died suddenly in June last year. CAS has been named as a beneficiary in his will – no details as yet. Your committee will, in due course, report on an appropriate use to which this money will be put. MEMBERSHIP: Our membership secretary, Jenny Beale, reports a small decline in membership since this time last year. There are 438 individual/joint members currently on our books; 53 of these had not (as of April 9) renewed their subscriptions; letters of reminder have been sent so this number should be reducing.

    Registered Charity No. 105565 NEWSLETTER 134 February 2014 Registered2013 Charity No. 1055654 The Trewhiddle Hoard. Displayed in The British Museum and replica in Royal Cornwall Museum, Photo published courtesy of the British Museum. At the AGM and in a recent Newsletter I asked members to nominate their favourite museum objects. I thought I would take the editor’s privilege to start the ball rolling with this collection of Anglo/Saxon secular and religious objects, which were found with an unknown number of coins by tin -streamers in 1774, seventeen feet below the surface under a pile of stones. Coins and some articles were lost before Phillip Rashleigh of Menabilly collected what remained of the hoard. The chalice may have been intact when it was found but many fragments have now disappeared. The remaining coins date the hoard to AD 868. The silver scourge is made of tube-knitted wire with plaits and knots terminating in a blue and white veined glass bead from which four tongues, knotted at their ends, spread. The decorated pin has a hollow head. The strap ends and belt slides are silver, but the buckle is cast in bronze. It is not known what the silver carved ornament mounts were attached to. While most of the objects are of Anglo-Saxon design there was a Celtic brooch. The chalice is the only A/S silver chalice found in Britain. It has a gilded inside and rivet holes below the rim indicate an applied rim or decorated band. The bowl and stem were riveted together. The scourge too is unique in Anglo-Saxon collections.

  • Cornwall Schools' Shared Designated Areas
    Information Classification: PUBLIC Cornwall Schools’ Shared Designated Areas Background Cornwall Council has divided Cornwall into geographical areas called ‘designated areas’ which are each served by a specific school or schools. Designated areas assist the Council in ensuring there are enough school places and are also used to determine entitlement to school transport. Please note that the designated school for an address may not always be the one nearest to that address. All designated areas can be viewed online: http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/education-and- learning/schools-and-colleges/school-admissions/designated-areas/ Please be aware that not all schools include ‘living in the designated area’ as a priority in their oversubscription criteria (the criteria that will be used to decide who should be allocated places when there are more applications than places available). However, entitlement to transport to all schools is determined by Cornwall Council with regard to whether the school is in the designated area for a child’s home address or is their nearest school. In some towns in Cornwall, more than one school may be designated for an address. These are called 'shared designated areas'. These towns and the schools that are included in the shared area, as defined on the Cornwall Council mapping system (see link above), are listed in this document.

  • Truro School Public Benefit and Charitable Activity Report 2015-16
    TRURO SCHOOL PUBLIC BENEFIT AND CHARITABLE ACTIVITY REPORT 2015-16 Objective 5 of Truro School’s Strategic Plan is: “To be celebrated as a socially and environmentally responsible member of the Cornish community.” This report outlines the range of activities undertaken by the school and its staff to support the local and wider community. Financial Support to families of Pupils at Truro School Truro School is committed to keeping its doors open to as many students as possible from the local community who will benefit from a Truro School education, regardless of the financial means of their parents. Scholarships (academic, sport, music, art, fencing, drama and chorister) are merit based but are small in value, usually 10%. However, bursaries are available which may provide financial support up to a maximum of 100%, dependent on the outcome of means-testing. Special emergency discretionary bursaries can also be awarded, usually for a limited time, when unforeseen financial difficulties arise for those parents whose children are currently in the School. These special bursaries are generally awarded for a key period of education such as completion of GCSEs or A Levels. When available, places are found in the boarding accommodation to overcome a domestic or family crisis. Funding for these bursaries comes from Truro School, the Truro School Foundation, Methodist Independent Schools Trust and some external Educational and Charitable Trusts. Benefits to Local Community The pupils' Community Service Scheme involves Truro School pupils helping with the elderly, young children at nurseries and in charity shops. The School Chaplain leads services throughout the county (including the Royal Cornwall Hospital) as a Minister of the Methodist Church and other staff are lay preachers in the community.
