🔬 Aprender Física también es experimentar, medir y descubrir.
Nuestros alumnos de Y9 Physics están explorando el movimiento a través de actividades prácticas: midiendo la velocidad de diferentes objetos y poniendo en práctica sus conocimientos para analizar cómo se desplazan. ⚙️📏
En Y9A, por ejemplo, han medido y calculado la velocidad media de una canica mientras baja por una rampa y han representado sus resultados en un gráfico de distancia-tiempo. 🟢📈
Porque aprender haciendo nos permite comprender mejor, poner a prueba nuestras ideas y disfrutar del proceso de descubrimiento. 💚🔬
🔬 Learning Physics is also about experimenting, measuring and discovering.
Our Y9 Physics students are exploring motion through practical activities, measuring the speed of different objects and putting their knowledge into practice to investigate how they move. ⚙️📏
In Y9A, for example, they measured and calculated the average speed of a marble as it travelled down a ramp, before presenting their findings in a distance-time graph. 🟢📈
Because learning by doing helps us understand, test our ideas and enjoy the process of discovery. 💚🔬

🌿📚 Aprender también es explorar, moverse y disfrutar al aire libre.
Estos días, nuestros alumnos de Nursery, Y1, Y3 e IGCSE PE han llevado parte de su aprendizaje fuera del aula: descubriendo los cambios de las estaciones, explorando el colegio, trabajando las matemáticas con materiales y movimiento, y poniendo en práctica sus habilidades deportivas en el campo. 🍂🔎🏃♂️⚽
Porque cuando aprendemos mientras nos movemos y conectamos con nuestro entorno, ¡también cuidamos nuestro bienestar! 💚
Y es precisamente el espíritu que compartiremos este viernes en Global Be Well Day, dedicado este año a la actividad física. 🌍💪
Aprender al aire libre, movernos, explorar y crecer juntos. 🌿💚
🌿📚 Learning is also about exploring, moving and enjoying the outdoors.
These days, our Nursery, Y1, Y3 and IGCSE PE students have taken their learning beyond the classroom: discovering the changing seasons, exploring different areas of the school, learning maths through movement and practical resources, and developing their sporting skills on the field. 🍂🔎🏃♂️⚽
Because when we learn while moving and connecting with our surroundings, we also support our wellbeing! 💚
And that is exactly the spirit we will be celebrating this Friday on Global Be Well Day, with this year’s focus on physical activity. 🌍💪
Learning outdoors, moving, exploring and growing together. 🌿💚
