View PostFamily Stargazing Night – What a Success! A huge thank you to the incredible Kielder Observatory team for bringing their amazing inflatable planetarium and creating an unforgettable experience for our families! Students and families held real meteorites that were billions of years old, plus fragments of the Moon and Mars. Inside the planetarium, we explored the dark skies, stars, constellations, and planets in stunning detail. Our wonderful staff and student helpers added extra magic with constellation crafts, hot chocolates, and s'mores. It was truly an educational and memorable evening under the stars! #Stargazing #FamilyEvent #KielderObservatory #STEM #DarkSkies #gosforthjuniorhighacademy #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #buddingscientists #FutureAstronauts #inspiringyoungminds

This is when Mrs Creasey selects students who have tried really hard with their reading this term ,and they get a prize and their name on the Library Legends board. These students are exactly what we love to celebrate, those who try their hardest and we can all see their reading journey taking such a positive path. #librarylegends #juniorhighacademy #GosforthJuniorHighAcademy #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures

They worked like real historians, examining each item, debating what it was, and discovering how it was used during the war.

View Post6J love history! We researched, scripted and performed our own BBC radio reports about the Blitz. Some of us chose to report about some real Tyneside bombings including those on Matthew Bank and on Wilkinson's lemonade factory in North Shields. The reports really helped to bring the Blitz to the classroom and showed us what the hard reality of life in those times was like. #gosforthjuniorhighacademy #juniorhighacademy #gosforthgroup #Blitz #HistoryInAction #LearningThroughCreativity #TynesideHistory
