The Magic of Christmas

There was great excitement this morning when we received a very special message all the way from the North Pole. Santa Claus surprised us with a magical video capturing his visit to school. The children were delighted to receive their very thoughtful gifts. Santa even signed our visitor log! A huge thank you to Santa Claus, the elves and reindeer for making Christmas very special.

Science Week Fun

Science Week Fun

The junior pupils added gummy bears to a glass of water. We made sure the test was fair by adding the same number of bears to each glass. We also filled a glass without adding water. We left the bears for four days. Check out our results below.

We had fun investigating magnets. We learned that magnets attract metal objects. The pupils had lots of fun testing materials and making paper clips dance! We also discovered magnets can attract objects through other materials.

We tested a variety of materials to determine if they would float or sink. Take a look at our experiment below.

We read the story Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. We designed and created a boat to help the boy bring the penguin safely back home to the Antarctic. We tested our boats to make sure they floated. We really enjoyed creating the boats.

Our skittles experiment was great fun. We created a circle of skittles around the edge of a paper plate. Teacher added warm water. We were amazed at the results.

Will the balloons burst?
What effect will milk, water, juice and coke have on the eggs?
We made or own butter at home. One of our senior pupils added different flavours to his butter. Yummy!
The juice had the worst effect, turning the egg shell black! A reminder to always brush your teeth!
Milk + food colouring + liquid detergent =
WOW! The fat in the milk and the liquid soap create a very cool reaction.
Ooblek – Very messy but fun. All you need is cornflour and water! Can it be both a liquid and a solid? Have a go and find out!
What happens when you add baking powder to vinegar in a zip lock bag?? BANG!
Grab some PVA glue and liquid detergent and make your own slime! It is great fun. We learned that slime and ooblek is a Non- Newtonian fluid. They are both a liquid and a solid!
