Some Year 7 students have been working hard on a project to help bees. They have planted a wildflower garden in school; posted a packet of seeds to a relative or primary school and taken seeds home to plant in their own garden. They are also taking part in the ‘Great British Bee Count’…and would like to encourage everyone else to join in by downloading the app!
Well done Year 7…..Miss Wallis thinks you are a fantastic group of students to work with!

Burnside Dance Students performed yesterday at Rugby leagues Magic Weekend at St James Park. They took part in a large group dance with schools across the North East and Yorkshire that took place before the final game of the weekend. Students have spent six weeks preparing for the final performance, including an all day rehearsal in Pontefract.
Students did a fantastic job at representing Burnside Business & Enterprise College and are proud to have taken part in such a large dance event. They are already looking forward to their next Magic Weekend Performance and would like to thank Rugby League Cares and Dance City for providing them with the opportunity to perform.
Please see the video attached of the performance, which also appeared in part on Sky Sports as part of the Magic Weekend coverage.

This week the Leading Edge Year 9 students had the opportunity to work in the labs at Newcastle University. The aim of this time was to collect data on the rejection rates of transplanted organs ahead of their presentation at the end of the term. Throughout the day the students were focused and the university staff were particularly impressed with how quickly they adopted the new vocabulary and techniques.
