Hello,
Tomorrow night is the big science night at HBS. It will run from 6-8pm. Some of our students will run a little build-it station with Knex kits. They should draw some attention with our class Ferris wheel and roller coaster, all made from Knex, at our table. The fifth grade has some great stations planned, as well as professional scientists with a variety of backgrounds. Should be fun.
And we decided to add a little fiction to our science night. The Harry Potter Club is piggy backing off of science night for our quidditch match. The Devious Ducks, dressed in orange, will take on the Pink Fluffy Unicorns, dressed in pink, on the quidditch pitch just outside the school. We just had a last minute cancellation of our golden snitch, so if you know anyone really fast that wouldn't mind getting chased around the field for a few minutes, let me know. The plan is for two matches taking place from 6:30 to 7:00.
The class built some vehicles with wheels and axles this morning. Our first try at putting random pieces of wood together. They will get better and better at this over the next week plus. Great learner mindset lessons! My favorites.
We built pulley systems this afternoon with our Lego kits. These kits are more structured than free-form building, but a good way to learn the basics.
There is a bit of a summer cold thing going around. Make sure to get plenty of rest to stay healthy.
See many of you tomorrow night.
Mr. Shea
