Numeracy in Chemistry! Our Higher Chemists were calculating costs of reactions today. They worked in groups to share ideas to get to their final answers and developed their teamwork skills too! Great work!! 💵 🧮 🧪

Vanishing ghosts in Science club today! 👻 getting into the Halloween spirit 🎃

An oldie but a goldie - burning Magnesium 🔥 Science club created Magnesium Oxide by burning Magnesium ribbon in the Bunsen burners. They loved the visual of this experiment! 💥

And here they are in action, following instructions perfectly to ensure their experiment runs safely and efficiently 😊 super proud of you all! Well done 👍🏻

Pictures of crystals to follow! ❄️

Some excellent pupil led learning is happening in the Chemistry department. 🤩 This group created a starter activity to get the others thinking about Hydrocarbons. Great resources were made too! 👏🏻😁 well done!!

S1 researching COP26. Now is a perfect time to get interested in climate change and changing our planet for the better 🌎 we had did research and shared some really interesting facts! The pupils watched David Attenborough’s COP26 speech and were extremely inspired! 🍃♻️ #COP26

Don’t forget about this excellent resource to get prepared for your prelims! Chemistry is tomorrow (Thursday) night at levels N5, H and AH. Follow the link below for how to access it 😊 🧠 📚

Great research and posters created by S1 and very fitting to see a field of poppies in one of our renewable energy posters since it’s November. Well done guys #RemembranceDay #PoppyAppeal #PoppyNovember

To promote sustainability & reduce fast fashion, the Eco-Committee are organising a ‘Swap Shop’ alongside Green Guardians on Wed 8th Dec! For this event to run, we need kind donations of your unwanted clothing by Tues 7th Dec, to Miss Hanvidge in room 114. More details below!

As prelims begin tomorrow remember the following: 1. Work hard so you can do yourself justice 2. Anxiety and nerves are normal. We all feel them. Use this prelim diet to begin learning how to use them to your advantage 3. If it all goes wrong in spite of everything, we got you!

"We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup." 🎅🏻 🧝‍♀️ 🎄

*Reminder* that today is the last day to drop off your unwanted clothing to Miss Hanvidge! The pupil swap shop will take place tomorrow at lunch time 👗👕 -> 👖👚 #reuse #recycle #slowfashion

Investigating indicators of a chemical reaction today with S1, they loved seeing all the colours change. Mixing potassium iodide and lead nitrate is always a WOW moment 🤩 🟡 🧪

And some more WOW moments with the magic bottles! 🟡🔵🟡 and 🟡🔴🟢🟡 Here’s Jack and Harry demonstrating those experiments 👨‍🔬

Magic ink in Science club yesterday. The invisible message was activated using iodine and it is warning us to beware of the zombies!!! 👹 😯 🤣
