Year 2 students have been learning about Symmetry within their Maths lessons.
When something is symmetrical it means it is the same on both sides.
The students were given a shape and asked to draw lines of symmetry on them. To help understand the concept and how to find the line of symmetry, the children were presented with shapes to fold in half so that they could see clearly that one side was the same as the other.
A shape has symmetry if a central dividing line (a mirror line) can be drawn on it that shows that both sides of the shape are exactly the same.
Throughout Term 2 our home-schooled students have produced some excellent posters on many science-based topics.
Some of these have been about the Life Cycle of a plant outlining the basic structure of a plant, for example, parts of a plan as well as what a tree needs.
Students visit the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester!
Last week, Key Stage 3 & 4 students visited the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.
The museum is devoted to the development of science, technology, and industry with emphasis on the city’s achievements in these fields. The students initially enjoyed wandering around looking at the exhibitions and got to experience a range of interactive shows, workshops, and other learning activities.
Building on our “Growth Mindset”, students have been problem-solving and developing their lateral thinking skills to solve seemingly difficult puzzles.
This week Tuition club students visited Abraham Moss Library.
The children had an enjoyable experience looking at the range of learning resources within the library and were explained how using these can make a real difference to their learning and academic progress.
Tuition Club are delighted to offer students the opportunity to drink milk and have fresh fruit this term.
We have introduced this healthy initiative to aid in promoting a healthy diet for all. Also, as part of overall development and the importance for good health, Tuition Club have introduced physical exercise.
