SCIENCE AT LONGACRE COMMUNITY SERVICE CLUB

On Thursday 2nd February the Community Service club ran their first ‘Feel good Photos’ event which involved them setting up with props, positive message boards and iPad’s, and inviting anyone in school to come and have a ‘Happy snap’ taken.

The group were absolutely delighted at the positive response with so many children and staff taking part, getting into the spirit of connecting with each other and spreading some real joy and lots of laughter.

Ahead of Mental health week, this was a great boost for everyone. Well done to everyone who took part. Keep spreading the smiles!

Science had a busy start to the term with Forms 4, 5, and 6 all beginning the new year with some exciting new lessons.

Form 6 got to dissect pig hearts and were delighted to see the different parts of the heart that they have been learning about.

Form 5s studied the Properties of Materials, and were tasked with comparing various different materials and their properties.

Form 4s had fun learning about electric circuits and were challenged with figuring out how to get the lightbulb to turn on by themselves.

World Book Day

Longacre celebrated World Book Day with its usual gusto on Friday 3rd March. The day started magnificently with the costume parade, where every child got to showcase their masterpieces and strut their stuff on the catwalk. Throughout the day, the children took part in an assortment of creative and inspiring activities such as making Gruffalo crumble, story sing-alongs, creating dioramas, author talks, world designing, iMovie trailer filming based on books, bilingual story books, shared reading between the years, concocting George’s Marvelous Medicine, Harry Potter cluedo, book investigations in maths, making adorable book hedgehogs, a Shakespeare Showcase and much, much more! It was such a brilliant day and a wonderful way to celebrate one of life’s simple but incredibly important pleasures
