Drama - Freeze Frame Images

In Drama, we have been learning to use show emotion by using our faces and bodies.
In these photos, we are miming parts of the story of Rona and the Moon.

  

Cooking time!

Today we were super lucky to have Khalid and Jeane in to help us creating a tradition Moroccan beef tagine and couscous.   The students learnt how to dice an onion correctly and how to make couscous. They learnt a lot about flavouring the food and how the specially designed pot helps to create the wonderful flavour in the meat.

It was sooo YUMMY!!

Science in a Van!

We were lucky enough to have the amazing Science in a van people come to our school.
They taught us all about the periodic table and the 3 different states of matter. They performed some amazing experiments, exploding cans and clouds. It got us all pumped for experimenting ourselves.  Here are a few photos!

MELTING!

As our focus is kitchen science this term we have been looking at all the different ways we can change states of matter. First we looked at boiling vinegar, juice and coke to see what would happen. We were surprised to see that the vinegar boiled the quickest.

This week we looked at melting. We decided to pose the question of which on would melt first between yogurt, coke and water. Students create their own hypothesis of which one they thought and why. Lots of people thought the yogurt would as it is thicker.

We then timed the experiment. The ice cubes took 15 minutes to melt, the coke was not fair behind and we observed that the yogurt became softer but did not melt. After an hour the yogurt had a water residue around it.
