P6b created their own wind turbines. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a lot of wind outside to help them move but they looked great and they’ve taken them home to use when there is more wind.

P6b grew the Grinch’s heart using chemistry and imagination. They created a chemical reaction in the form of creating gas. This has blew the balloon up and thus “grew the Grinch’s heart”. We were lacking green balloons but we used … Continue reading →

P6b created tidal turbines. They then worked out how the air was making the turbines move.

P7/6 used their knowledge of chemical reactions in order to “Grow the Grinch’s Heart”. Unfortunately a lot of their hearts on the balloon rubbed off but they were successful in creating a gas that blew the balloon up. Here is … Continue reading →

P7/6 were learning how to identify a chemical reaction. We did experiments using apples and a pumpkin to see if we could create a chemical reaction.

As part of learning about the Race to Space, P6/7 took part in a STEM lesson. They made straw rockets And measured the distance that they flew. After taking an average distance from 5 trials, they adapted their straw rockets … Continue reading →

Thank you to Jennifer Hughes, a STEM ambassador, who came in today to do a lesson on filtration. Some groups were very successful and managed to filter three different Lego sizes. Problem solving to the max!
