Happy Friday on this lovely afternoon, spring is in the air, and we are heading full speed towards the end of the term. However, that does not mean we are slowing down in class; much learning took place this week.
In Science, learners studied different types of waves and their properties, such as amplitude, frequency, wavelength and speed of waves. They also learned about the relationship between wavelength, frequency and wave speed. In Geography, we looked at the difficulties of identifying climate change and the different measurements that are taken to identify whether climate change is taking place. In History, the students looked at why Germany’s Blitzkrieg tactics were so successful during WWII, comparing it to the trench warfare of WWI. In Design, the students studied engineering design processes. They looked at different kites to evaluate the design decisions that went into the making of these kites, with the aim of designing and ultimately building prototype kites of their own.
In English, we have come to the end of our study of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. We analysed extracts, exploring how characters changed, key events, and how the story concluded.
During our Math lessons, we started the week by constructing equations from word sums and then looked at the different ways to simplify equations and finished by looking at the indices laws and using them to simplify equations.
That is all for this week, and I hope everyone will have an enjoyable weekend.
