What’s going on at NORTHLANDS?

As has become a tradition in the Ñandú Mathematical Olympiad journey, this year the Provincial Stage took place in Mar del Plata. At Northlands, we had the honour of travelling with 17 students from Y5, Y6 and Y7 from Olivos and Nordelta. After successfully completing the different stages of the competition throughout the year, our [...]

Once again, the Kinder Olivos families came together with great enthusiasm to take part in our Marmalade Project. This time, families joined their children on a walk around the neighbourhood to collect bitter oranges from the trees growing along the sidewalks. Later, they peeled and chopped the oranges together as a family, taking the first [...]

Over the past few weeks, our K4 students became little scientists as they explored and discovered the difference between reversible and irreversible changes. As part of this experience, they had the opportunity to visit the Secondary School laboratory, where Martín and Leandro warmly welcomed them and guided them through a series of exciting experiments. Through [...]

In Year 1, Design and Technology classes are filled with curiosity, logic, and plenty of smiles. Students have begun their introductory journey into robotics and computational thinking using Matatalab, a tangible and interactive tool designed for young learners to learn coding through play. Without the need for screens, students design and implement sequences of instructions [...]

Our Y2 Olivos students have reached the end of their third Unit of Inquiry, “We Are Responsible for Our Planet”. Throughout these weeks, they worked on developing conceptual understandings through the key concepts of causation and responsibility. They inquired into how people’s actions can bring about changes in the environment and came to understand that [...]

K4 students started their technological journey in Robotics through unplugged dynamics, learning the basics of programming without the need for screens. In this first approach, children explored the operation of the basic commands and the on / off button in different everyday objects. Through structured play, they exercised the role of thinkers: they understood that [...]

During the second half of the year, our Tinkering students at Northlands Plus Olivos explored the world of technology and electricity through fun, hands-on projects. They built working flashlights with switches to learn how electrical circuits work, and created motorized robots to experiment with motion, force, and energy. Every challenge offered room to test ideas, [...]

Our Year 8 B students in Nordelta site took on an exciting challenge where imagination, technology, and the English language came together to solve everyday problems: the Creative Inventor Challenge. Throughout this comprehensive project, the teams went through the different stages of real product design: Ideation and Design: They identified current real-world problems and created [...]
