Election voting

We watched the party leaders answer questions from some school children and discussed policies for each party before making our own decision and voting.  It was good for the children to learn about MMP and think about what they are passionate about as they consider their own choices in 6 years or so and the future of our country. Year 5-8 took part in the voting with Labour winning overall.

Science experiments in groups

Children carried out their own investigation in a group and have prepared a science board showing what their experiment was all about, including their results. These will be shared with the other classes in our syndicate.

Experiments included making lava lamps, bending water, making slime, testing liquid density, checking for egg freshness, air pressure, soap/detergent reactions in liquids and how skittles' colours react in water.

Science Show

The school were very lucky to see a fantastic Science Show this term. Magic circles started the show.

Gardening

This term, some of room 10 have been planting seeds and looking after them. Some are now ready to be planted into the school gardens. Josh was really surprised that his seed had produced such a good plant!

More Science

Room 10 rotated around each Y7/8 class to take part in a different experiment. Here are some photos from the taste testing in room 16.

Science

We have been learning how to carry out a fair test in science. We were investigating which candle produced the most carbon.

Hockey Training

It's great to have more skills from another sport.
