St George's Academy

This term students have been taking part in a number of activates in Science to promote STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Maths).

These include:
The Big Year 7 Science Project
Year 7 students at Sleaford (with Ruskington campus taking part in Term 6) worked with Anglian Water on an exciting science project. They were tasked with creating a poster and delivering a presentation to experts from Anglian Water, answering the question: “How can we provide water to the entire globe?”
Students worked on this throughout their science lessons and also received a special presentation from Anglian Water to support their research.

Year 9 STEM Challenges
Year 9 students from both Sleaford and Ruskington took part in a range of STEM challenges. Using Lego and water pipes, they worked in teams to complete a series of problem solving activities throughout the day.

Year 7 STEM Activities
Year 7 students also worked with STEM Learning to design and build floating gardens. They used recycled plastic to create sustainable structures capable of growing plants.

Congratulations to our Y7 Easter Egg Design Competition winner- Milan, from Kesteven House. A wonderful design from a very talented Year 7 student.

History A level students visit the battlefield at East Stoke

On Thursday 19 March, A level History students from St. George’s made an educational visit to the site of the battle of East Stoke just outside Newark. The purpose of this was to enrich our History students’ learning experience and develop their understanding by visiting a key local historical site linked to their A Level British depth study on the Wars of the Roses. Students had a guided walk of the battlefield by a local expert Andrew Fern as part of the Heritage Interpretation and Visitor Experience service at St Mary Magdalene Church, Newark.
It was a informative and sunny walk!

To end the Kindness Campaign, students from Y10 Ruskington delivered Easter Eggs to local businesses to say, ‘THANK You’ for their support.

As part of our Academy Kindness Campaign, Year 9 Students from Sleaford Campus visited local shops to deliver Easter Eggs and say thank you to the staff.

Students at the Sleaford Campus enjoyed a talk and group activity by East Midlands Rail, finding out about the job roles and apprenticeships available. Thanks to Kaye, David and Steve for giving up their time to share their knowledge. EMR will be at the Ruskington campus in June.
