Our Kindergarten students had an exciting time exploring measurement in Math! 📏✨ They used different measuring tools to compare lengths and widths and had so much fun experimenting with a scale to see which items were heavy, light, or equal in weight. ⚖️ The amazement on their faces as the scale tipped up and down was priceless! 🤩 Hands-on learning at its best! 🔢💡 #MathMadeFun #HandsOnLearning #KindergartenExplorers #MeasuringMagic
Our Grade 7 students took their Science learning to the next level by exploring mixtures in a fun and practical way! 🧪✨ They applied their knowledge of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures by creating their own combinations for lunch! 🥗🥤 This hands-on activity helped them connect classroom concepts to the real world while making science both engaging and delicious! 😋🔬 #ScienceInAction #HandsOnLearning #MixturesMatter #Grade7Scientists
🎨✨ Our Grade 6 students are exploring the art of still life drawing and discovering how light and shadow bring objects to life! 🖌️ Through techniques like hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, and blending, they’re learning to create depth, texture, and realism in their artwork. Observing objects carefully and understanding how light falls on different surfaces helps them capture highlights, mid-tones, and shadows with precision. 🌟
This journey is more than just skill-building—it’s a rewarding experience that boosts creativity, patience, and confidence. Watching their drawings transform from simple outlines to lifelike masterpieces is truly inspiring! 🎨✨ #ShadingMastery #StillLifeArt #CreativeMinds #Grade6Artists
