ESA 1 S1 and S2 tried the paper chain challenge today. Lots of discussion about how to create the optimum paper chain combining strength and length. #STEM #maths #Engineering @BaldragonAcad @Baldragon_HT @BaldragonChem

S1 enjoyed participating in Outdoor Education this term and had many adventures. #outdoorlearning #adventure #socialskills @BaldragonAcad @Baldragon_HT @BraeviewG

ESA 1 S2 have been consolidating their skills in working with angles. Today we combined a maths lesson with a reward and used pizza to discuss different kinds of angles. #practicalmaths #activelearning #STEM #36degreesinaslice @Baldragon_HT @BaldragonAcad @BaldragonMaths

Another great project from the Flexible Learning Area (FLA) and smart video editing.

Some of our pupils in the Flexible Learning Area have been doing some great STEM work, and have also learnt how to edit their own videos!

STEM Tuesday in ESA 1. This week we learned why oil and water don’t mix and used our knowledge to create colourful marbling pictures. We also learned why it’s important to use soap and it’s effect on oil and water molecules. #STEM #activelearning #lifeskills @Baldragon_HT

Congratulations to over 20 of our @BaldragonAcad young people who developed life saving skills through the Heart Start @TheBHF programme in partnership with @mcrpathways & @fire_scot ❤️ #DundeeLearning

On Monday ESA 1 visited Ardler Cafe. We had a lovely breakfast and it was a great way to start a wet Monday morning. #socialskills #lifeskills @Baldragon_HT @BaldragonAcad @BALpupilsupport

STEM Tuesday! ESA 1 S2 made bubble snakes. We learned about how blowing the bubbles through closely weaved material causes thousands of tiny bubbles to form and join together. #STEM #activelearning @Baldragon_HT @BaldragonAcad @BALpupilsupport

Well done S1!

S1 Litter Pick - ESA 1 carried out a litter pick this afternoon as part of the Strathmartine Community Clean Up. They did an amazing job and filled almost 5 black bags from the local area. #responsiblecitizens #TakePridedDundee #Baldagoncares #community #doingoutbit #esa #sfl

ESA 1 STEM challenge. Today we were learning more about the water cycle and made our own versions using plastic bags, warm water and food colouring. #STEM #activelearning @Baldragon_HT @BALpupilsupport

Yesterday ESA 1 visited Monifieth beach and park. Unfortunately we were unable to see the whale skull this time! We collected stones to use make into games for our room. #activelearning #outdoorlearning #socialskills @Balpupilsupport @Baldragon_HT

S1 Maths in ESA 1 this morning! Reinforcing our understanding of negative integers through a team work activity. It was important to listen, talk and work together to organise our number line. #esa #negativenumbers #baldragonacademy #teamwork #talkingandlistening #skillsforlife

Had a great time reading an excerpt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to our ESA groups this morning @BALpupilsupport In return they were telling us some great jokes from some of the books from the Library. Cant wait to go back again.

ESA 1 have been learning all about positive mindsets, wellness and self care this week! #esa #baldragonacademy #selfcare #mindfulness #wellness #positivity #growthmindset #positiveminds

STEM Thursday! Today ESA 1 made ice cream and talked about liquids changing to solids and how this happens. @baldragonlearn #activelearning #scienceisfun #STEM
