My animation is about different types of science equations that are helpful for science lessons and exams. In the animation the equations come out of a test tube to give it a science feel and to relate to the subject. My animation can help pupils learn science in a better and more fun way.
They have arrived! Here is one of the first photographs sent from the groups first day in Sweden - the rest of them will be uploaded to the photo gallery (click on the gallery link to view) - keep checking back - they have promised to send regular updates!
Several Key Stage 3 Pupils have just sent of another batch of letters to our link school in Tanzania. Mrs Collin is working with the pupils at further establishing the link as part of seeking International School Award status in the future.
Mr Overend is in the process of setting up an after school club at South Street whereby pupils will get to do fun experiments delivered by a specialist science teacher.
Approximately 15 of our Year 11 pupils participated in a master class at Newcastle or Northumbria University, gaining a taste of uni life and some pupils who attended the Medical Science class even got to take blood from another person! These pupils gave up their Saturday mornings to take part in this project!
The WOW space bus is in town, and the Gateshead CLC has been propelled into the Milky Way! This morning our young space explorers, aged 4-6, have been rocketing through some interstellar activities. They’ve been making loads of astronomical paper rockets and blasting them off across the car park. The winners got a cool pen to wear around their necks. Next they were off to the astounding planetarium to look at our stellar solar system. Inside, the other explorers were doing two different activities. One group was using the funky Bee-Bots, travelling through the universe via a magic carpet (Not really, it’s just a mat on the floor)! On the other side of the spaced out room, the rest of our space explorers were being artistic! They made some astromazing space scenes. So far it’s been an amazing day, so good it seems extra terrestrial!
Check in later on to see how the afternoon goes...
Earth Date:10-10-2008
On this day Thomas Hepburn had a mission, a mission to bring Science to young minds. Gateshead CLC is hosting the WOW Space bus, and our astronaughts are here to bring them to you. A range of astronomical activities have been set up for our young space explorers.

Cafe scientifique is an event open to everyone with an interest in science. Once a term a guest speaker comes in to discuss an area of science which they are an expert.
The event is very informal, with pupils encouraged to ask questions, leading to an open discussion. Refreshments are made available free of charge.
