The Haynes Connection

The Haynes School Science Fair is this Wednesday, March 10^th from 6 PM - 8 PM. Come and support the young scientist as they display their results of many hours of scientific investigation. As and added feature this year, some of the Haynes teachers will be demonstrating the use of the Active Boards and how they help in the learning process.

What about dinner? Pizza, snacks and drinks will be available for purchase at the event.

The ceramic kiln has been firing away throughout the winter. Students in grades one through five have been following their clay work as it goes through two transformations in the kiln with the use of heat. (Around 1,891 degrees Fahrenheit!)

 Students in grade one made two projects in clay this year. The first was a three dimensional pot made by turning and pinching with hands and fingers. The second project involved drawing fish and transferring the drawings onto clay slabs, then cutting tiles. We'd like to share some of the fish with you here before they swim home! Enjoy!

I am excited to announce the beginning of a new club at Haynes Elementary! This spring, our science club will explore scientific ideas and have a blast experimenting in biology, chemistry, environmental science, physics and other scientific areas!

This exciting new club will meet on 8 Thursdays after school beginning on April 1 (no joke!). We will focus on “doing” part of science and try to complete one project or experiment per session.

Since this is the first year, the Haynes Science Club will be limited to interested 4th and 5th graders. If there are many young scientists who want to join, Tuesday afternoons are also available for a second group. All the details will be sent home on a flyer/form in the near future.
