In parent "empty space". As he grew, Einstein built models and mechanical device.  Albert Einstein is also the man who produced the most famous equation of all time : E=mc2

    Buddy Reading

    Today we joined our youngest learners in Learning Hub 1 for some buddy reading. We each chose a partner and read them different stories. We practiced asking them questions to find out what they thought of the book. We did this both to develop our leadership skills and to help our newest members of the Stonefields School community to feel more comfortable at our school. Check out the photos to see us in action!
    (Thanks to Miss Holland for the awesome pics)
