This week, Year 7 have been looking at the effect of air particles on a falling Whirlygig.
They devised an experiment to test how the length of the Whirlygig’s wings affected the time it took to fall.
This shows the effect of air drag as it fell.
This lesson incorporated all aspects of Science: Chemistry – the air particles, Physics – drag, and Biology – as these are a model of some seeds types, and also the importance of The Scientific Method – to plan, perform, and analyse an experiment and the results.
The Whirlygigs fell very quickly, but we did manage to get some action shots.

Last week, Year 6 performed our wonderful musical production for the parents and younger children in school. It was a play called Troy Story - it was about the Greeks and Trojans who were at war and had lots of drama.
As the academic year draws to a close, our Early Years students marked the occasion in the most joyful way possible, with Splash Day, a much-loved BISB tradition that brings together sunshine, water play, and the simple delight of being a child.
