Mini Science Fair

Hi everyone
firstly a big thank you to the parents who came to visit the students presentations yesterday. During reflection time several students commented that they felt really pleased and proud that the parents came to see their work. Thanks.
We had a great turn out of other elementary classes and also some teachers and secondary students visited.
I have placed some photos of the day for you to see.
I would also like to wish all the students, Parents and families all the very best for the holiday season and if you are traveling a safe and stress free time. I look forward to seeing you all in January.

The Great Egg Drop Challenge

Hi everyone
Last week was the egg drop challenge and after studying Newtons laws the students were set the task within strict guidelines to design a box (with again limited supplies) to protect their egg after falling from the 1st floor landing. Needless to say some had a very HARD landing.
This experiment was to practice writing and presenting the whole scientific method before starting our summative. The students are now busy doing science for real. They are carrying out their own scientific experiment of their choice and will put on a mini science fair on Wednesday the 12th of December starting at 1:30. So if you are able to come and share in our science time it would be great to see you.
