Year 12 also had fun making, and looking at the properties of ‘ooblek’, a simple mixture of water and corn starch.
The strange thing about it is that it is called a non-Newtonian fluid, which means it changes what it is (liquid or solid) depending on the force applied to it. Leave it to flow as a liquid but when you apply force it acts as a solid. (This is also why it is difficult to get ketchup out of a glass bottle by hitting the bottom!).
You can easily make this at home and try it out for yourself.

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
