Form IV are learning about materials and states of matter. Today we tried to decide what state of matter shaving foam is and then we made a mystery substance called oobleck! It was a lot of fun, a lot of mess in the Science Lab, but we also did a lot of learning.
As we reach the last week of STEM Club before the Christmas break, we are ready to test out our suspension bridges. We learned that it’s not just about looking the part but also about being strong.
We have been writing play scripts for the silent animation, Soar. We had a go at acting them out with a partner. It was a lot of fun and we can’t wait to add more details next week.
Today, St Hilda’s Day, was spent doing activities for our wellbeing. We looked at the five ways to wellbeing and did a range of activities including having a secret friend; teaching each other skills such as making an origami swan and the ‘Hello Neighbour’ game and painting thumbprint creatures. We had a lot of fun!
In Form IV, we like to take a hands on approach to Maths. We used cereal hoops to make arrays which help with difficult multiplication. It was a lot of fun!
On Wednesday, Form IV had a trip to Celtic Harmony. We lived as if we were in the Stone Age by building dens, hunting a woolly mammoth, grinding herbs for stew and gathering food from the forest. It was a lot of fun!
