The Y8’s experienced a whole new reality when they experienced the VR sets for the first time! Check out their reactions when they were diving with sharks, riding the scariest roller coasters and even drove a F1 car when investigating their energies.
Enjoy the short videos!

Students were able to virtually travel the world last week with some brand new Virtual Reality headsets! These ClassVR headsets enable students to go diving with sharks, explore the Great Wall of China and even create their own content without having to leave the classroom.
Using technology in a busy classroom isn’t always as easy as it should be. Imagine how difficult it could be to control 30 children wearing VR headsets!
The ClassVR interface and teacher control portal provide the simple to use tools needed to ensure this exciting and engaging technology can deliver a rich, reliable experience for students.
These are my wonderful Y8s that were investigating the effect of double glazing to make more energy efficient homes.

As part of the Year 10 Marine Science course, the students were introduced to sampling and how transect lines and quadrats could be used to help “sample” the delicious marine organisms found in the classroom.

The Year 8’s have been learning about energy transfer and transformation. Working together they (somewhat) successfully converted gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, producing a lot of sound energy in the process!

The Year 9’s were studying space and how the composition of starts can be determined by looking at the spectra produced by the light they give off. The students made a simplified version, using the same principles.

As part of their study of energy in Science, the Year 8’s were investigating how much energy was stored in tasty snacks such as chips, pringles, shapes etc.

Year 8’s recently investigated energy transformations and had a lot of fun doing it!

Today my Y7s were investigating the difference between mass and weight. They could work out that gravity was approximately 10m/s/s and then calculated their own weights on all the planets of our solar system. Out of this world!!

The Year 7s have been learning about mass, weight, gravity, air resistance and terminal velocity in Science this term. The class are experimenting with different variables and how these affect the flight time of their robocopters.
