AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 26/09/2025Mrs T took some pictures of Mrs G and the Marmite Sandwich Demo yesterday. 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Mrs G has been sharing the Marmite Sandwich demo with Yr 8. 2 more classes to go on Thursday. 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 16/09/2025We finally did it yesterday. 2 dishwashers in use and a backlog of food test tubes waiting for their turn. Hoping for a less full on day today. 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Sadly, Mrs G's Skydive for BBS-UK on Saturday was cancelled due to high wind speeds. (Boo! Hiss!). But it has been rebooked for 31 March '26. (Yippee!). It's a long wait but has a reasonable expectation for good weather and extra time for more donations. www.justgiving.com/page/karen-g...justgiving.comKaren's fundraiser for BBS UKHelp Karen Giles raise money to support BBS UK 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Food tests are fully underway. These are for Yr 8. Yr 12 are also doing it. 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Blending down grapes & chicken for food tests. Add plenty of water so it gives further & doesn't get so stuck - easier to wash up. 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Tomorrow, Mrs G is throwing herself out of a plane to raise money for BBS-UK. 😱😱 You can find out what that's all about (and feel free to donate if you can) by visiting this Just Giving Page: www.justgiving.com/page/karen-g...justgiving.comKaren's fundraiser for BBS UKHelp Karen Giles raise money to support BBS UK 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Well, that's us done for this school year. Have a great summer, everyone. See you in September. 010
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 18/07/2025This micro Lego kit was a present from one of our leaving Yr13 lads. It's has required several hours and some dubious taking in vain the name of the student responsible, but now it's done. The dome is on and it now has pride of place in our window. 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Mrs L is always hot, but sits nearest the heater. Mrs G is always cold but sits nearest the fan. This morning we have rearranged our stuff and swapped position. Watch us forget we did that in September! 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Getting caught up after an amazing day out at #Scitechconf2025 on Friday. Many thanks to John Booth and the team that work so hard to make it wonderful every year. 020
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Mrs G (red top and green shorts) and Miss G (black top, next to Mrs G) are up on the balcony in the main crowd shop. Fame, at last! ;-) 010
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Our @breckland-sci.bsky.social thermometer shows why we are melting in the Prep room already. Fortunately, the Exams team just turned up with some fans they borrowed. Not a minute too soon! 010
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Mrs G is fighting the inventory, and appears to be losing! So many text books in different rooms, with very similar names. Aaarrgghh!! 010
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 24/06/2025With all the teachers and Mrs L up on Coombe Hill for a Yr 12 Biology field Trip, Mrs G is left unsupervised... Sadly there's plenty of cupboard sorting to do, so no time for mischief. :-( 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 24/06/2025Many thanks, to Tiggywinkles who came yesterday afternoon to take our beautiful ducklings and their Mum to a safer place than our flat roof. 000

AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Many thanks to the lovely folk at SirHenryFloyd for allowing us to raid their pond for daphnia. They have a duck, too, but this one was happy for us to be there. 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 23/06/2025We were unable to get any Daphnia from our pond this morning but it was for the very best of surprises... 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 20/06/2025On House Athletics day, The Works come down to the field with their Ice Cream Trolley. Mrs G & Miss G are trialling all 4 available flavours, between them. All in the name of Science, you understand. 😜 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Producing 3 x 36 tiny bits of bluetak (I know, ours is white) for sixth form taster day. They're looking at Daphnia. 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Mrs L & Mrs G are like ships that pass in the night at the moment, with so many things taking one or other of us out of Biology. Currently Mrs G is in the Prep Room while Mrs L is helping out with some invigilation. 000

AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 04/06/2025All 10 Biology kettles successfully descaled. And a pro tip for you all: When it's time to pour out the solution from the kettles, pour it over your stainless steel sink to descale that, too. 010
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Busy start to this half term as we've been out meeting some of the Yr 6 students coming our way in September. 010

AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 16/05/2025We're regulars here. Wouldn't miss it! Will we see you there? We'd love to connect in person. If you recognise us, do say Hi and introduce yourselves. :-) 010
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Mending a torn blazer (makes a change from trousers!). Not in the job description but all part of the service. 😁 040
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Feels really quiet here now with both Yr 11 & Yr 13 no longer in school. 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Still working well, despite being museum age! Much like us, really. 😜 000
AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 29/04/2025The quad looks gorgeous in the beautiful sunshine 010

AGSBioTechs @agsbiotechs.bsky.social · 27/03/2025But miracles happen, and after some TLC in his own pond/beaker he's recovered and is now back in the big tub with his mates. Hopefully the fresh BIS will be better next time. We don't want to torture them. #TECHOGNITION @breckland-sci.bsky.social @techognition.bsky.social @sls-se.bsky.social 000
