Crime Suspicion Interrogation

Mathematics was on the agenda for Al Hijra boys school this week with pupils running through motion and movement tasks. The children completed questions on topics like percentages, angles, multiplication and division successfully using mindstorm robots and various software packages.

Also this week the CLC ran a 3D Forensics session for the pupils of Holy Trinity School. Pratical tasks were completed by each pupil which involved solving a murder by analysing hair, fabric, fingerprints, blood samples of both the victim and suspects. Also running toxicology experiments to determine the cause of death. This was a fun session where the pupils learn how science takes place in a working enviroment. Next week more on forensics along with pictures to demonstrate the tasks.

Movement, Motion, Mation.

This week proved to be a productive week for both the CLC and Al-Hijra Secondary School. Taking Animation to the next level, the pupils were given specific tasks to create both a story and then animation using Lego City Buildings. A hospital, airport, factory and house were among the various scenerios to choose from. The children worked enthusiastically editing the Lego masterpiece incorporating Garage Band music and Audio dialogue effectively.

Also this week, percentages, division, diameter and perimeter were some of the topics covered in our Maths in Movement and Maths in Motion sessions. Introducing fun tasks for the children to understand the concepts of mathematics made these sessions very much enjoyable. Next week we have more sessions in Maths and also some Forensics to look forward to.

Space And Beyond

Last week Bordesley Green Girls School attended a session on Space and it's Mysteries. Firstly, designing a Functional Space Station using Google Sketchup, the children were put through several rigourous tests to show a habitual enviroment for astronauts when up in space. The pupils went through tasting different types of food and attempting various exercises which then led them onto the final stage of the session. In this stage pupils added data modules to support extended scientific research such as Space tourism etc. All in all the day was very much enjoyed.
