Year 3/4 Water Cycles

Our Year 3/4 students at Brooklyn Park have been diving into the captivating world of the Water Cycle through a series of engaging practical experiments. 

As they explore this fundamental process, they're discovering the intricate journey water takes through key processes. From identifying sources of water to describing the dynamic movement of water through the sky, our students are gaining a deeper understanding of precipitation, evaporation, and condensation. 

Through hands-on activities and inquisitive exploration, they're not only learning about the water cycle but also fostering a profound appreciation for the essential role water plays in our life. As our students make waves in their understanding of the Water Cycle, they're truly soaking up the knowledge and making a splash in their exploration of the Earth's aquatic resource!

Samson and Grass-heads

Years 1 and 2 students at Brooklyn Park have been diving into the book of Judges this term and we have discovered that the job of the Judges was to lead the wandering people of Israel back to repentance and into right relationship with God. 

The people of Israel were in a cycle of salvation, silence, sin, slavery and supplication. God sent the Judges which included Othniel, Deborah, Gideon, Samson and Samuel and many more to point his people back to Him. 

Our students have learned that God made Samson very strong so he could protect the Israelites with his strength. But Samson made a mistake and was tricked by Delilah to reveal the secret of his strength and when his hair was cut off, he lost it. In our lesson we have made some grass-heads and grown Samson’s long hair. 

Lots of fun!
