What’s happening in Middle School

What has Middle School been up to this term?

We are busy planning our businesses which will run on Wednesday Week 10. Here’s what the students have to say about our planning:

We went into groups and were given a loan to create a business and raise money for some catholic charities. – Genesis

We are making stress balls out of rice and balloons. They will sell for around $1. -Callan

We are learning how to stay with in a budget and we are selling products to raise money for a catholic charity — Ethan F

It is good because we have to rely on ourselves. -Hamish

In Visual Arts, we have been learning about pen and ink drawing techniques.

We used a fineliner to create shadow and shading- Emma M

We learnt how to make 2D shapes into 3D shapes using shading — Ethan S

We had to draw trees using pen and ink techniques, we had to think about where the light was coming and going from. – Mia C

And, in Science, we are experimenting with electrical circuits.

I’ve learnt that parallel circuits are better, as if one resistor fails the rest won’t be affected. But serial circuits work well for buttons. – Rosa

We have been learning about electrical circuits in class, and using the information we have learnt we have to create something with electrical circuits. – Ashlyn

We learnt how to turn lights on and spring things and make them buzz all with electricity – Sienna
