Fri 27 Mar 2020The week beginning 9th March saw, once again, Science lessons being taken over by British Science Week.
This meant lots of fun mixed in with learning.
Each year group did different activities.

- Year 8's made 'Mars Mission Landers' and some made and tested bridges
- Year 9's did the ever popular Bouncy Balls and Elephants Toothpaste
- Year 10's Made nylon, soft cheese, extracted DNA and recreated a face from genetic codes
- Year 11's used the electronics kits, constructed towers and took part in forensic investigations.
Well done to ALL our fabulous students who were amazing all week!
"Wow that's kind of mind blowing!"
(Ellis; Year 10, when looking at the DNA he had extracted.)

Advice and Guidance for families from the Wirral Local Authority
Thu 26 Mar 2020Dear Clare Mount Community
There is a lot of uncertainty around the current COVID-19 outbreak, particularly given that the situation is constantly developing and the information about the virus remains incomplete.
Understandably, this is causing a lot of worry and anxiety for people. Having children and young people at home, often when people are trying to work themselves, adds another layer of stress. It is therefore important to not only consider our physical health during such challenging times, but also to pay attention to our mental health. It is normal to feel worried, stressed and anxious when we are faced with uncertain situations, but the sooner we acknowledge and learn to take care of our mental health, the healthier and better equipped we’ll be to cope with the situation we're having to face.
