10 year 9 pupils from woodchurch took part in this activity day at the discovery clc on 7th july 08. pupils were involved in three activities: a robot challenge, self-righting buoys and renewable energy driven cars. we came away with 2 trophies won in the robot challenge activity by lisa hill and jenny noonan. pupils were up against stiff competition from 5 other wirral schools; oldershaw, upton hall, birkenhead, south wirral and wirral grammar school for girls. well done to all who took part. team photo below.

if you get bored during the half term holiday and want to have a go using digital microscopes the learning lighthouse clc at birket avenue in moreton is holding free science sessions on wednesday 28th May 10am to 12noon and also 1pm to 3pm. The sessions are for ages 10 to 13.

You will get to use our digital microscopes to examine all sorts of objects under magnification. Take photographs of these objects and then work with adobe photoshop to add filters and change colours. bring some small objects you wish to examine. this is a family learning activity and all children must be accompanied by an adult who will be expected to participate, so bring your granny for a fun day out!

the three powerpoint presentations from educationusingpowerpoint are now available for download. don’t forget you need the latest username and password to access them. ask your subject teacher.
