In science club at Smestow, pupils will have the opportunities to take part in fun practicals and various other scientific activities. 

Here are some of the upcoming activities : 

A hygiene and bacterial growth investigation; A STEM investigation to design and build a parachute which will safely deliver an egg; An investigation to determine which type of antacid is the most effective at neutralising hydrochloric (stomach) acid.

By joining Smestow science club, pupils can enhance their scientific knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and cultivate a passion for science.

Come join every Wednesday after school with Mrs Neish and Miss Collett

This week pupils at Smestow Academy continued with a high success rate on Sparx maths. 7G2 were our form of the week with 94% of students completing their homework to 100%. A. Iordache and M. Yasir were chosen by Ms Collett to represent their form.

 7Y2 were our maths class of the week because they had an average XP of 1105Xp per student. This shows a significant commitment to Sparx maths this week. L. Hussein was chosen by Mrs Butler to collect the award on behalf of 7Y2.

Extraordinary work by our pupils in Smestow Academy's art department. We're currently creating nature inspired pieces influenced by the portrait works of Marco Mazzoni and the animal floral hybrids of Veronica Steiner. Whether it's working in graphite and colouring pencil, pen or watercolour, our students our exceptionally talented!

Our assemblies this week have acknowledged the International Day of Peace which takes place annually on 21^st September and started in 1981.  This year is especially poignant as it marks the 25^th anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly having adopted the declaration and programme of action on a culture of peace.  The values, as laid out by the UN General Assembly are; respect for life, human rights and fundamental freedoms; the promotion of non-violence through education, dialogue and cooperation; commitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts; and adherence to freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, cooperation, pluralism, cultural diversity, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations.

Here at Smestow Academy, one of our Smestow values is to provide and welcoming and caring environment which we think supports this action for a culture of peace.

A fantastic start to PE here at Smestow Academy with some excellent resilience, perseverance and teamwork shown in all lessons. These 3 values and skills are the focus of our lessons at the start of the academic year with all students having to show these at some stage in their lessons, whether it be working together as a team in the OAA challenges or showing resilience and perseverance when learning a new skill in Volleyball. We have been so impressed with the attitude of all students in PE lessons so far this year.

We have to do a big shoutout to all of the students who have attended clubs whether it be in the morning before school or after school, we have had over 110 different students attend clubs in the first two weeks of them being open to students. We are super proud and happy with this engagement from our students and would love to reach the 200 mark in the next two weeks, after school clubs include Football for both Boys and Girls, Badminton, Cheerleading and Volleyball. A special mention to the new before school club that Mr Holmes runs on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8am where we have had some great engagement from all year groups. They have been involved in some futsal tournaments so far this week where there has been some great skill and effort on show.

Huge well done to all of our students in all lessons and after school clubs, let’s help us reach that mark of 200 different students attending clubs in the next two weeks. #smestowpe
