Well that’s it… One final teaching day and I move on to new beginnings. A journey filled with so many happy memories and some fabulous friends gained along the way. Thank you to all staff and pupils who made my time at @sjhsnewport worth getting up for. #youwillbemissed

🎵🎄It’s the most wonderful time of the year🎄🎵Final food practical of 2022 for @SJHSBlwyddyn7 and @SJHSYear82022. They have really developed their culinary skills since September and are now confident enough to explore further at home. #yulelog #shortbreadbiscuits @sjhsnewport

🎄Feeling festive today 🎄 @SJHSBlwyddyn7 deep dived into the challenge of decorating their chocolate logs with all things Christmassy! Here’s a sneak peak at just a few of their fabulous designs. Congratulations to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners from 7TV and 7SE. 👏

Did you know yeast is a living organism that will eat the sugars in a dough and produce C02 gas → That gas causes our dough to rise. Today our @SJHSYear82022 led a yeast experiment whilst producing fantastic looking Focaccia bread 👏👏 @sjhsnewport #foodscience

Pattern cutting in Textiles and party planning in Food Technology. Here’s a small taster of our pupils facing these tasks head on and becoming more well rounded individuals. 👏👏#homemadesausagerolls #healthyoatbars #upcycledmaterials @SJHSYear82022 @SJHSBlwyddyn7 @sjhsnewport

During half term, @SJHSBlwyddyn7 and @SJHSYear82022 were set an Autumn cooking challenge task. Seren Adams stepped up to the mark and made a fantastic crunchy crumble. Wow! Looking forward to seeing everyone else’s yummy recipes. 😋 @sjhsnewport #starchef 🌟

There was a sweet scent of shortbread biscuits along the corridors of our Technology department today. 8PH made three batches of biscuits using the ‘rubbing in’ method. #shortening #newskills #threedifferentfats @sjhsnewport @SJHSYear82022

We had a crazy day of food practicals today. Fast paced yet very exciting! Healthy pizza option using tortilla wraps 🍕 @SJHSBlwyddyn7 @sjhsnewport

What a way to finish off a very busy and very hot final term! 🌞 Decoration challenge accepted - Animal themed chocolate logs. Fantastic effort made from @SJHSYear7 as always. @sjhsnewport

A fantastic opportunity for our Technology department and ambassadors to showcase and market our wonderful products, manufactured by @sjhsnewport pupils over the last couple of months. #sjhsteameffort 💪🏻

A BIG THANK YOU to @tyhafan Children's hospice for collecting a vast number of HDPE bottle tops for us to recycle into another usable product. Together we can embark on a meaningful path towards improving the environment in both @sjhsnewport and the local community. Diolch!

Some fantastic Moon base prototypes generated by @SJHSBlwyddyn7 this term. All manufactured with fully recycled materials. 'I can' apply my knowledge and skills when making design decisions in order to produce specific outcomes. Da Iawn Pawb! @sjhsnewport @SJHSScience

So touched to visit @coleggwent Students have designed and built a bench in memory of Brodie♥️They carefully thought about the fitting horseshoe shape to make an ideal place to talk and communicate.‘Brodie’s Talking Bench’ also contains a QR code to @PAPYRUS_tweets #DoItForBrodie

Excellent morning with 7se learning how to be safe using new machinery 🛠 🪛 our desk tidy’s are coming along nicely! @SJHSTechDept @SJHSYear7

This week we put on an in-house high school week for our Y6 children. We were incredibly lucky to have so much support from @sjhsnewport, who sent no fewer than 12 (!) of their teachers to deliver high school lessons for us. Thank you so very much!! #transition2022

We had the privilege to visit @StJosPrimary today during their transitional week. Year 6 had a taster of what @sjhsnewport Design & Technology lessons will be like when they arrive in September. We are very much looking forward to guiding them through their Technology journey. 🤩

🌟 Wow! 🌟 @SJHSYear10 you have definitely exceeded our expectations with your exceptional performance of perspective drawings and rendering skills. Outstanding effort! Keep this up! 💪🏻 A great start to the intro of your GCSE coursework. @sjhsnewport
