ISSUE 53
9th March 2018
The theme for this year’s British Science Week is exploration and discovery, encouraging our students to think
about everyday discoveries and how they affect their lives by exploring science in the world all around us; from
their home and schools, to their local area and wider environment. It is also a chance for our students to consider
how exploration and discovery can have a positive impact on the future.
During KS3 Science lessons the students will be taking part in three activities:
Astro-nappy - Students will spend time thinking about
the materials used by astronauts when on 7-hour
space walks. This will be extended to allow students a
greater understanding of how the developments and
discoveries from space explorations impact our daily
lives.
Citizen science – Blue Planet 2 helped highlight the
huge problem of plastics polluting our seas and
oceans. The plastic tide project aims to help develop
an algorithm to find litter on our beaches and in our
oceans. The students will be looking at drone images
and identifying the types of litter in the images; this will
train the computer to find the litter by itself in the future.
Squashed tomatoes – this year is the year of the
engineer. To develop our students’ engineering skills
they will work as a team to build a basket and pulley
system that could be used by Nepalese farmers
transporting their tomatoes down mountains without
them becoming squashed.
Poster competition
Get creative and enter the British Science Association’s annual poster competition. You can make your poster
about whatever type of exploration or discovery you like, and enter our UK-wide competition with the chance to
win an array of prizes.
Posters will be judged on how creative and well-researched the ideas are and how well the poster has been
made or drawn. Once your poster is complete, write all your information on the back, have your teacher, leader
or parent/guardian fill in the online registration form, and then post your entry to the British Science Week team.
parent news In order to mark the Centenary of The Great War and the end of conflict, BBG are delighted to be able to offer students the fantastic opportunity to visit Ypres and Somme in Belgium. This WW1 centenary battlefield tour will give students a deeper emotional connection with the events that took place during the war and provide the opportunity for them to appreciate the scale of sacrifice and the impact that the war had on the development of Britain and the world as it is today. Would you like to join us? WWI BATTLEFIELDS TOUR 4 days and 3 nights. Departing: Friday 9 November 2018 Returning: Monday 12 November 2018 The trip will include a variety of trips such as; A trip to The Flanders Field Museum in Ypres, named after the war poem of John McCrae. Students will be given an interactive Poppy Bracelet which allows them to learn about the stories of four real people. A trip to Poperinge Execution Cells - During WW1, several British soldiers faced the firing squad in the courtyard of Poperinge Town Hall. Today it is a site for reflection and remembrance. The site retains real graffiti left by prisoners. Chocolate shopping in Ypres! – Some light relief with a visit to a well-known chocolate shop. No visit to Belgium would be complete without some souvenir chocolate! Last Post at the Menin Gate - Participating in the nightly Last Post Ceremony is always a deeply moving experience, and it certainly will be this year as our very own Miss Sanderson will be playing. A trip to Passchendaele 1917 Memorial Museum - This fascinating museum commemorates the half a million casualties of the battle of Passchendaele. Uniquely, the museum features reconstructions of both British and German trenches. A guided tour of Ypres Northern Salient the scene of some of the biggest battles in WW1 All travel and meals* are included in the cost of £350 *A packed lunch will be required for first day Please see Miss Binns for a letter if you are interested in joining us. Miss Sanderson will also be out in Ypres representing her band, the Band of the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service. She will also be taking part in The Last Post Ceremony. The Last Post Ceremony has taken place at the Menin Gate every single evening at 8pm since 1928. The tradition is maintained by buglers from the local volunteer Fire Service in Ypres. The Armistice Day Parade and Ceremony at the Menin Gate is traditionally led by musicians from the United Kingdom Fire Services. There are four bands involved - the pipe and drum bands from Devon and Somerset and Tyne and Wear, and the marching bands from West Midlands and West Yorkshire (we alternate; West Yorkshire do the even years, West Midlands do the odd years). This year both West Midlands and West Yorkshire will be joining together as the Massed Bands of the United Kingdom Fire Service as it’s the centenary. We’ll be leading the 8pm Last Post Ceremonies each night that we’re there, then leading the main parade on Armistice Day itself. We’ll then be taking part in smaller ceremonies at individual cemeteries. These are usually chosen because they have significance to members of the parade/bands.
creativity corner ART For her final ART GCSE project Anna Rigby has chosen ’In The News’. She is specifically looking at terrorist attacks. She has produced drawings , paintings and collages so far. For Adam Farrell’s final Art GCSE project, ‘Connections’, he is looking at public transport. He has looked at the work of Gail Brodhalt and has responded using a lino printing and oil pastel drawings.

subject news MFL German speaking exams Next week students in Year 11 will be sitting their Mock Speaking Exams in German. It can be quite a stressful experience as it requires spontaneity and confidence, as well as lots of preparation. This week in class we have been practicing role play scenarios and picture cards through use of a dice game to try to increase their ability to speak spontaneously. MFL MATTERS IN BRITISH SCIENCE WEEK There are many French and German scientists you will have heard of who have made a huge difference to our modern-day lives: Pierre (French) and his Polish wife Marie Curie discovered polonium and radium while Louis Pasteur (French) discovered the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization and of course there is Albert Einstein (German), best known for his mass-energy equivalence formula E-mc2. This year, the theme of British Science Week is Exploration and Discovery and in MFL, we want to celebrate the advances in technology by challenging you to change the language setting on your phone, email, social media accounts to the language you are studying at BBG throughout British Science Week. You’ll learn words like “send,” “delete,” “edit,” “message,” “cancel,” and all sorts of other vocabulary just from using your phone on a daily basis. You can change your GPS settings to learn navigational vocabulary and listen to the instructions on your way to school. Siri can speak French and German too! You might not be able to make French Film club so try changing the subtitle preferences on your favourite film. Go on - explore and discover!
subject news PERFORMING ARTS A huge number of BBG students, along with a group of our RMAT friends from Brayton Academy, almost took over the upper balcony of the Alhambra Theatre this week to watch a spectacular performance of Warhorse, and were absolutely blown away by the stunning show. Those students who are studying drama found watching the performance inspiring, and could pick out elements of the production that they had covered in their drama classes. Isaac from Year 10 commented that within minutes of the play starting he had forgotten that Joey the horse was not real, as the puppetry was so lifelike. Harrison, also Year 10, noticed how minimalistic the set of the performance was, with very little scenery, but the cast made the most of simple things, such as wooden staffs to create fences and a single door to create houses and buildings. Maisie from Year 8 said that her favourite character in the performance was Mrs Narracott. She is a really strong woman, who deals with her awkward husband and his family feuds, and sees her teenage son go off to war, not knowing if he will return. Matthew, however, said that his favourite character was Albert, as he managed to maintain his innocence and naivety despite witnessing the horrors of war. Mrs Deighton’s favourite character was the comedy goose, who liked to get in the way, while many, many students, said that their favourite character was Joey - the horse with as much resilience as a BBG student! There were tears from students (and especially staff) towards the end - an illustration of how an audience can become attached to characters and absorbed in storylines. We can look forward to seeing how the students have been inspired by the play in their upcoming devising work, as Year 8 and some Year 10 students are currently working on pieces inspired by war. We are hoping also to repeat the theme of our November 2016 performance, Peace and Remembrance, later in the year.
subject news NATIONAL CAREERS WEEK This week is National Careers Week! Years 7-10 have been participating in activities during registration including a daily twitter competition for the best summary. So far, we’ve had winning entries from 9.6, 7.6 and 7.1. Year 9 assembly was led by Bell Painting and Decorating company. A former apprentice with the company spoke about his positive experiences with the scheme. Year 10 assembly had a presentation from Miss Turner explaining the range of opportunities. Future Goals Leeds City Enterprise Partnership spoke to Year 8 about skills that employers are looking for and exciting careers opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. A representative from the Army spoke to Year 7 about the exciting careers and opportunities that the armed forces has to offer!
parent news
As this is BRITISH SCIENCE WEEK – for this week’s Parental Top Tip we consider the Scientific Question: What
percentage of time should a 15 year old be doing in the preparation for their GCSE’s? Well, there is no hard and
fast answer, but rather a question to answer the question. How much sport does your child already do? How
much walking? How much playing football? Riding horses? How much time do they spend up, out and about?
Once you’ve got a handle on the current state of play, making a plan for encouraging continuous activity
becomes much easier!
Parental Top Tip 3:
Keeping Active
• Encourage them to keep active on a daily basis
• Carry out exercise in manageable chunks, eg 3 x 20 min sessions throughout
the day
• Plan to do active things together on a weekend
• Go out for a walk together and get some fresh air
• Help them plan out their weekly exercise schedule in advance
• After exercise your brain functions well, so encourage a revision session

MATHS PUZZLE OF THE WEEK
Come on everyone, let’s get lots of entries Last week’s answer was:
this week!
It was the TWO OF HEARTS.
This is how to find out from the clues:
i) The value of my card is a prime number.
So it could have been 7C or 7D or 2H.
ii) The values of my two neighbours add up to a
multiple of 3.
So it could have been 7D or 2H.
iii) My card is next to a card which is next to the 2 of
hearts.
So it could only have been 2H.
- Use the digit 8 exactly 8 times to make 1000.
- You may only use the 4 operations
(add, subtract, multiply & divide).
Congratulations to parent Keith Bancroft, and maths teacher Miss Gale, who were the only ones to get this
one correct. A lot of the entrants thought it was the 7 of Clubs. Well done and thanks to everyone who
entered for their support! Well done and thanks for your support!
If you think you can solve the puzzle, please visit https://tinyurl.com/ydyyr2sf to submit your answer. Come
on students, don’t let the adults win! Let’s see which year group has the most correct answers (parents and
teachers are most welcome to join in).
Closing date: Wednesday 14 March 2018 at 12noon. Good luck.
MATHS GCSE QUESTION OF THE WEEKsubject news BBG BOOK REVIEW This week Miss Cook is reading Black Widow, by Chris Blackmore. A fantastic book with lots of twists and turns! Altering perspectives chapter to chapter allow you to delve into the minds of each character. Just when you think you know what the truth is behind the mystery you’re taken of the scent into another world of questions. Here is a little about the book: Diana Jager is clever, strong and successful, a skilled surgeon and fierce campaigner via her blog about sexism. Yet it takes only hours for her life to crumble when her personal details are released on the internet as revenge for her writing. Then she meets Peter. He's kind, generous, and knows nothing about her past: the second chance she's been waiting for. Within six months, they are married. Within six more, Peter is dead in a road accident, a nightmare end to their fairytale romance. But Peter's sister Lucy doesn't believe in fairytales, and tasks maverick reporter Jack Parlabane with discovering the dark truth behind the woman the media is calling Black Widow... NCS UPDATE We are thrilled that 53 Year 11 students have signed up for the NCS challenge this summer, working with the Leeds United Foundation. We hope they have a great time at their residential in Scotland and Shropshire and look forward to seeing some of the photos. We will also be keen to hear how students have planned events to improve and address a community issue. We understand that students and parents have been asked to sign up to a Facebook page, specific for their week (known as a Wave) so that information can be passed on. There is also an App to download (see below) and a meeting next week for parents. Mrs Brazier is the school NCS Co-ordinator if parents have any questions, queries or concerns.

During form time, Key Stage 3 students in Years 7, 8 and 9 study and discuss ‘Thought for the Week’. This is a
motivational idea which is used to reinforce the Academy’s Growth Mindset philosophy. Students are being
encouraged to work as hard as they can, and are advised that with effort, huge progress can be made. Aside
from the thought, students learn about key events that have happened during that week. In addition, students
choose from three or four mottos that they are going to try and adhere to during that week.
THIS WEEK’S THOUGHT DISCUSSION POINTS
What does the above thought mean?
How can you relate this to your life? Is
it easy to be confident? Why is it easy
for some and not for others? Can
someone confident instill it in others?
Are confident people ever nervous?
Can a confident person in the class
give some tips on what they do in new
unfamiliar situations?

This week in KS3 Dance students have been using stimulus from Jeremy Carroll’s ‘Marine Pollution’
collection as an inspiration and starting point for their Choreography. Year 7 had to focus on using
musicality to enhance the understanding of their chosen narrative which was performed at the end of
the lesson. This was also accompanied with a fantastic poster presentation on movement material by
Molly Goddard who unfortunately is currently injured.
Year 8 first mapped movement material at the start of the lesson before using choreographic devices
such as manipulation of number to enhance their intentions. Here are some star pieces of work from
Ellie Ball, Safiya Khan, Millie Hustler and Laila Jackson. All students produced creative and moving
work and full versions of their practical pieces can be found on @MissCSutcliffe twitter. Well done all,
keep up the hard work.
