2B Mini Beasts
Enjoyed looking at 'Museum In A Box' to support our learning in Science.
We then enjoyed exploring the playground - looking for mini beasts. We had a fun time playing with magnifying glasses and pasta worms.
3B Maths
Students in 3B Maths have started Super Stem Silver Friday’s. The students during these lessons are given the opportunity to apply their mathematical knowledge to solve problems. Students are given a goal, the rules and set materials to complete the task. They then have 10 minutes to work in small groups to solve the problem. The students really enjoyed our very first lesson.
2B Maths
Our students engaged in play shopping to support our learning of money and engaged in partner based hands-on learning in Mathematics. We are focussing on addition strategies.
Using concrete materials to show our learning in Mathematics and in HSIE we pretended to be archaeologists. This activity consolidated our understanding of key vocabulary, 'past'. Special thanks to Mr Green for the bones ;)
Secondary "Special Project"
Early last term Mr Craig’s dad brought in an old Farmliner 445 Diesel Tractor which had a burnt out motor. A volunteer group of Year 9 and 10 students worked through our lunch times with the help of Mr Craig and his dad to get it back up and running. Every one of us learnt something new about how diesel motors work and run.
The process started by stripping down the whole tractor so we could see which parts were needed to be replaced and to see if anything was still useable. After we sorted the things we could use and could not use we went and bought the parts that we needed to put the tractor back together.
The tractor project took a total of about 13 weeks and each week helped us learn more about diesel motors and what is in a tractor that makes it work.
