While learning how people from the past cooked withput electricity we had a great opportunity for STEM. We designed our own 'spit' with the aim of roasting a marshmallow. We explored some important questions such as 'Does the colour of the marshmallow/height from the flame matter ?' It was also a great opportunity for smores!! 😃

We continued our tradition of Halloween movie night. Great costumes and great fun.

We have been very busy with our Halloween art as always. We created haunted schools, 3D ghost portraits, monster drawings, and charcoal ghosts.

Our Senior Class made stop motion videos after learning about the movement of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood through the body.

We have been enjoying learning about the lungs and heart. We studied the path of blood through the heart, air through lungs and even tested our lung capacity. We used our apples to carry out an exploding apple experiment and found the best preservative to stop them from going brown. We studied chemical reactions by making mug cakes and tested the effect of different substances on our teeth. We also used red cabbage to test the pH of different substances we use in our home and

We had lots of fun this Maths week!!! Board Games, Pizza Maths, online Maths quizzes and enjoying the outdoors. We also made lots of Real Life Maths posters to solve!!

We collected berries and what better thing to do than bake a pie with them. What a great review from one of our pupils.

We had out first walk to the woods for the school year. We had beautiful weather and found lots of signs of Autumn. We picked some gorgeous blackberries on our way.
