Mrs Seymour:
7X2b showed off their 'Newton Disc' homework today, and 9X1 attempted to 'measure' gravity via an A-level activity.

Physics fun today, but tomorrow the MATHS! Thanks to Mr Wheeler for the ideas

Today science club finish building their volcanoes 🌋

Next week they will begin designing pully systems to move objects up and down their volcanoes. This is part of their #STEM challenge.

A mask that can make it easier or harder to breathe by controlling your air supply adds more realism to virtual reality scenarios, including one that simulates a firefighter working in a smoky building. https://t.co/8gdrNYaVwt

Over the last fortnight, members of the Science Club have worked hard to design and build trebuchets.

Here is one in action.

7X2b impressed Mrs Seymour and Mrs Thomas with their life-sized ‘Digestive System’ posters. Several pupils got really stuck in… literally.

Today Science club maked and tested catapults.

They had a great time and ended the session with competition to see who could propel a ping pong ball the furthest. One group managed to propel the ball 4m.
