Wellbeing Wednesdays

Students have continued to enjoy coming into the Wellbeing Hub at lunchtimes on Wednesdays to play games, create puppet shows, persevere at jigsaw puzzles and chill out in the Peace Pod.

Volcanoes 

Over the past four weeks, the students have been busy creating their own volcanoes using bottles and papier-mâché. Once their volcanoes were ready, they investigated two different ways to create an eruption: vinegar and bicarbonate of soda or Coke and Mentos. There were a variety of results, which led to plenty of discussion and investigation. Students compared the different eruptions and discussed why some volcanoes worked better than others. They explored how the ingredients reacted and considered factors such as the amount used, the size of the opening and how the different reactions produced different results. It was a great hands-on STEM investigation that encouraged students to predict, observe, test and discuss their findings.
