Where and When in Social Subjects?



As part of our Aims and Ethos Day, students had the chance to work as a team to produce a costume based on a country theme or historical theme. To add an eco- friendly element to the challenge, all the costumes had to be made from old/unwanted/ recyclable stuff! The results were very creative ..as you can see. Well done to ALL !

  • A short lesson about balanced and unbalanced.
  • Discussion about towers/bridges being balanced or unbalanced.
  • Short quiz about forces.
