🔬 Dissection delight! Year 7 excelled themselves learning new dissection skills. They explored different tissue types and identified tendons that attach muscles to bones.
Next, they located ligaments that attach bone to bone and noted how muscles work in antagonistic pairs, with one contracting and pulling on bone while its partner relaxes. Some students marvelled at blood clotted in veins. They all had lots of fun along the way. Great job, Year 7!
Next lesson, we will make models of the skeleton and learn the names of some of the 206 bones. 🦴

🏃♂️ A huge congratulations to Oscar Adams, Year 8, who represented our school and Shropshire at The English Schools Cross Country Championships in Sussex!
Competing against the best runners in the country, Oscar came 61st out of 334 runners. As a lower year student running in the Year 8 and 9 category, he completed the 2.7k course in an impressive 9:11, with a remarkable 3:03 first km! He was also the first junior boy from Shropshire to finish.
We are incredibly proud of Oscar and hope he qualifies again next year to run as a Year 9, with the chance of earning an England vest. Well done, Oscar! 🎉

🫧 We are forever blowing bubbles …and balloons…and investigating them at STEAM Club!
Our brilliant STEAM Club members discussed what they mean by the best bubble (size, duration of inflation – dependent variables) before testing mixtures with guar gum and glycerine (the independent variable). Fun and learning go hand in hand as always at STEAM Club. And of course, the odd loud bang too! 🎈

🍎 PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic education) is a vital part of our curriculum at Shrewsbury Academy, helping young people develop essential life skills.
Currently, students are learning about being healthy with their form tutors. Tutors love PSHE because it allows more time to get to know their tutees and build the excellent caring relationships we are so proud of.
Our Year 8 students in tutor group 8R recently conducted a survey on breakfast habits and discovered that a staggering 40% of students come to school on an empty stomach. They debated the importance of breakfast and showcased their oracy skills by evaluating how the school helps by providing food before school. Not ones to rest on their laurels, 8R suggested improvements which their school council reps will take to the next meeting. Great leadership skills in 8R! 🌟

🚀 A massive shout out to the staff at Tilbury Douglas Construction who showed our Science Department staff around the amazing 9 new state-of-the-art Science labs! Here’s Miss Hughes giving the new building the thumbs up! 👍
Lots of lovely space for investigations and outstanding teaching and learning.
Our staff had lots of questions, ranging from how many fume cupboards we will have to how flame retardant the ceilings are, and whether there is anywhere we can test rockets!
We can’t wait to move in and test out the state-of-the-art facilities.

🌟 We recently held our first 'Friends of SA' meeting! 🌟
Our aim as a group is to enable Shrewsbury Academy to be the school of choice for our community. We discussed the idea of belonging and what that looks like at our school, and we have begun to plan our next series of community events.
If there are any other parents/carers who are interested in joining us on our journey, please contact: [email protected].
We look forward to working together to make SA even better! 🤝

🌟 Our inquisitive Year 7 scientists have been investigating diffusion – the movement of particles from an area of high to an area of low concentration. They timed how long it took ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) to diffuse in boiling tubes and turn indicator paper blue. When red litmus paper comes into contact with a basic or alkaline solution like ammonium hydroxide, students found out it turns blue! 🧪🔬
What an exciting and educational experience for our young scientists! Visit shrewsburyacademy.co.uk to learn more about our programs and opportunities.
