In Upper School this morning, the children continued their intergalactic mission by solving some more mathematical challenges. The first involved 15 coins and 4 pots. The children had to find a way to arrange the coins into the pots to be able to make all the numbers 1-15. They discovered that…

In our Science lesson today, the Upper School children investigated what happens to their heart rates during and after exercise. They enjoyed finding their pulse in different ways and taking measurements before and after exercise. The results showed them very clearly that their hearts needed to…

Today’s science learning was all about the visible spectrum and how light is made up of all the colours of the rainbow! 
The children explored this through the refraction of sunlight or torchlight through a prism. The results were spectacular! Leo managed to split the sunlight coming through the…

Here is a gallery of some of the brilliant work and learning the children have been doing in their science lessons over the past few weeks. We have learnt that light travels in straight lines, that we see things because light reflects from objects and into our eyes, that light reflects from shiny…
