KS3 Class
Enrichment Visit – Food for Thought Community Garden
KS3 pupils enjoyed a visit to the Community Garden in Everton to take part in some outdoor activities involving food. The young people made bird feeders and pizzas. Whilst we were there we spotted some Newts and some of the young people held them – the staff weren’t so brave!
Year 8 Magnetism
Who doesn’t love Magnetism?
In this exciting unit, Year 8 students embarked on a fascinating journey into the world of magnetism! We explored the fundamental concepts of magnetic poles, understanding how like poles repel and opposite poles attract. Through hands-on experiments, we learned to visualize magnetic fields by drawing field lines, observing the patterns created by iron filings.
But the learning went beyond textbooks! We embraced creativity by using Magna-Tiles to construct a variety of imaginative and intricate designs, demonstrating a deeper understanding of magnetic forces and their applications.
Key Skills Developed:
- Scientific Inquiry: Observing, questioning, and investigating magnetic phenomena.
- Data Analysis: Interpreting and analyzing data related to magnetic fields.
- Creative Thinking: Designing and constructing models using magnets.
- Communication: Explaining magnetic concepts clearly and concisely.
- Teamwork: Collaborating with peers during experiments and design challenges.
This engaging unit fostered a deeper understanding of magnetism while cultivating essential scientific and creative skills
