Wellness & Wellbeing

We have been working on our wellbeing and improving our overall wellness by taking part in weekly Yoga sessions with a talented yoga instructor, Michelle. 

We have been practising various yoga positions and am improving our breathing, mobility and relaxation strategies...



Science Week 2015

For Science Week 2015, we had a very important visitor to our school - Dr. Naomi, a real-life scientist! 

We did lots of experiments with sound - putting different objects into balloons, to see how sounds of different volumes could be made. 

We learned that by making things shake, big, loud sounds could be made. 

We then did another experiment, pinching and pulling a wet string that was attached to different cups. We not only made big sounds, but proved that we could feel sounds too!





We then used other objects made of different materials and sizes like tin and plastic, to see what kind of sound it makes, doing the same experiment. 



We learned that by using a metal spring and a plastic and cardboard bucket, we could make a big sound like a cannon! 



We learned loads of scientific facts for Science Week - we learned that we can feel sound sometimes and to hear sound, something needs to shake. We tested lots of sounds too.
