Happy Friday everyone,

Another week has come and gone quickly, made short by the mid-week day off. It has been a full week as students have been taking InCAS tests, and eliminating suspects in their investigation to find the status thief.

In Maths and English, we took InCas tests in Reading, General Maths, Mental Arithmetic, Spelling, and Developed Ability. As always, it is an excellent opportunity to gauge students’ strengths and weaknesses and to adapt accordingly.

In IPC, students passed their ‘Forensics training’ and used their skill set to start tracking down the culprit of the statue theft. They collected evidence in the form of pens, drinks, handwriting samples, and cups from the teachers. They used their knowledge of pH levels to investigate the black substance. They used knowledge of insulators to measure temperature to give a timeframe to the crime, and they used chromatography to check the composition of pigments in ink. They have mostly compiled all their evidence and whittled down the list of suspects. They are currently working on displaying their evidence for a big reveal to the school next Friday.

That’s all for this week. Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday for Children’s Day, and to please respond to the Residential Trip, (Here) whether your child is going or not.

Have a lovely long weekend, and I will leave you with a few other photos from around the classroom.

Mr Morgan
