QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

Although this is goodbye from the magazine,

It’s “welcome back” from St Dominic’s!

Clap for Carers: Tradition to happen every year on NHS' birthday

The boss of the NHS, Chief executive Sir Simon Stevens, wants people to celebrate the service every year with a clap on its birthday.

He wants the event to start this year with an applause on the 5 July, the NHS's 72nd birthday.

It follows the success of the weekly Clap for Carers, which encouraged people to clap for the NHS and key workers to thank them for their amazing work during the coronavirus pandemic.

On 5 July at 5pm people are expected to give the NHS another huge round of applause, with broadcasters stopping their transmissions as a mark of respect.

Public buildings will be lit up in blue for the NHS, including landmarks like Blackpool Tower, the Royal Albert Hall, the Shard in London and the Wembley Arch.

UK Lockdown:What films will be on when cinemas reopen?

Cinemas across England will be allowed to reopen from 4 July, under new guidelines from the government.

Cinema chains including Showcase, Cineworld, Vue and Picturehousehave all revealed their reopening dates. The first cinema chain to reopen its doors will be Showcase, on 4 July.

A week later, on 10 July, Vue, Cineworld and Picturehouse will open their cinemas across England. Other cinema chains including Odeon, Curzon and Everyman are yet to announce when they will reopen.

At first, you're not going to be able to find many brand new films. But, don't worry, more than 450 classic films will be available to cinemas to show when customers are allowed back in. They've been made available by The Film Distributors Association to help cinemas attract audiences back.

The list includes films from the Harry Potter series, the Back to the Future trilogy and Hunger Games. One of the first major blockbusters to be released will be Disney's Mulan on 24 July. The big film studios are planning to release loads of films in the autumn and winter. Wonder Woman 1984, the prequel to Wonder Woman, will come out on 2 October. Marvel's Black Widow, starring Scarlett Johansson, will come out on 28 October.

Coronavirus: What are you most looking forward to doing as lockdown rules ease?

Many of us have been spending lots of time indoors over the last few months, but upcoming changes in England means there will be more opportunities for some of you to get out and about.

We had a bit of a rally around at school, and here are our top 5 things we are looking forward to in the near future:

1. Visiting family and friends2. Going to the cinema3. Going to a theme park4. Eating at a restaurant or café5. Visiting a museum or gallery

What are you looking forward to doing the most?

Black Lives Matter:Nasa to name headquarters after

Mary JacksonNasa is going to name its headquarters in Washington DC after its first female black engineer, Mary Jackson. A Nasa spokesperson said Jackson had helped to break down barriers for African Americans and women in engineering and technology. Mary passed away in 2005.

Mary joined US space programme in 1951 and went on to lead programs influencing the hiring and promotion of women in NASA's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers.

In 1951, Mary was hired by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics which was succeeded by Nasa. By 1979, Jackson had achieved the most senior job in the engineering department before changing roles to help grow equal opportunities in Nasa for women and other minorities.

Throughout history, women and African-American women in particular have faced a lot of prejudice in scientific fields. During the 1960s, Nasa often employed women as 'computers' and expected them to do lots of calculations to help out with various projects. This was before machines could do these calculations automatically. These women were often disrespected and not credited for their work. For a long time, Mary Jackson was one of these women, but not anymore.

Science History Cards

Ways to Play…

• Use the cards to play Charades or create a ‘Who am I?’ Quiz.

• Pick your Hero and have a playful conversation exploring what qualities you think your Hero possesses that makes him or her Heroic. What would you say to your Hero?

• Print out the 4 cards twice, cut out, glue onto card then use the cards to play a Memory game.

We hope you enjoy the playing AND learning whichever way you play History Heroes.

Have fun! Miss Ripoll

Escaping WaterWater can certainly move in mysterious ways, get the water from one cup to make its way up hill and back down into a second empty cup with the help of paper towels and an interesting scientific process.

What you'll need:• A glass of water• An empty glass• Some paper towels

Instructions:

• Twist a couple of pieces of paper towel together until it forms something that looks a little like a piece of rope, this will be the 'wick' that will absorb and transfer the water (a bit like the wick on a candle transferring the wax to the flame).

• Place one end of the paper towels into the glass filled with water and the other into the empty glass.

• Watch what happens (this experiment takes a little bit of patience).

Introduction

What’s Happening

Your paper towel rope (or wick) starts getting wet, after a few minutes you will notice that the empty glass is starting to fill with water, it keeps filling until there is an even amount of water in each glass, how does this happen?

This process is called 'capillary action', the water uses this process to move along the tiny gaps in the fibre of the paper towels. It occurs due to the adhesive force between the water and the paper towel being stronger than the cohesive forces inside the water itself. This process can also be seen in plants where moisture travels from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Capillary action happens when 3 forces called cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension work together, so let's look at these forces and how they cooperate to cause capillary action.

Is anything confusing me?

Could I explain this to someone else?

Before You Start…

Enjoy the experiment! Mrs Tullett

Can you find the hidden objects?

Careers Corner

Welcome to the last Careers Corner!

This week: Engineering (part 2) could it be for you?

Careers information, advice and guidance in school

Last week we looked at the five signs that could make you a great engineer. This week we look at different types of engineering and how you might start on a career path in this field.

Look at the choice!

Civil engineers work on the built environment around us - that means houses, office blocks, bridges,

roads, railways and tunnels.

Mechanical engineers design machinery, from dishwashers to wind turbines to the machines that

build our products.

Chemical engineers figure out how to mix raw chemical materials to make them perform useful

functions - working in the manufacture of food, medicines, materials and nuclear science.

Catherine’s

Careers Corner

Environmental engineers create systems that protect the environment such as structures that stop

the coast from eroding.

Biomedical engineers design technology that provides medical solutions, such as artificial body parts or

devices that aid medical specialists in their work.

Electronic engineers develop circuitry to make our gadgets smaller, more powerful and more efficient.

Software engineers design computer applications like mobile apps or internet browsers.

Catherine’s

Careers Corner

How do I get in to Engineering?

A range of new engineering apprenticeships means you no longer have to go to university to become an engineer. With an apprenticeship, you will train alongside experienced colleagues within a paid job, while working towards relevant qualifications which give you the knowledge and understanding to do your job better.

Apprenticeships offer a way into the following fields of engineering:

Electrical

Mechanical

Manufacturing

Civil

Environmental

University

If you want to study Engineering at University you will need to have level 3 qualifications

(A’levels or vocational qualifications – Maths and Science based).

Careers information, advice and guidance in school

So, that’s the end of Careers Corner! I have enjoyed writing the articles for the magazine and hope you found the information useful. Don’t forget that all the school staff are here to help you make plans for your future. As Careers Guidance Practitioner, I am happy to chat with you about your ideas and give you support and help to reach your goals. We also have a

range of careers information in school to assist you with your own research.

Look forward to seeing you all soon, as I come out of my careers corner!

Sometimes we all have problems that are worrying. Think of a jigsaw puzzle when

all of the pieces are difficult to match together. Talking about a problem in

counselling is like sorting out the pieces so that we can build a picture that makes

more sense to us.
