11/14/2019 0 Comments Field trip to the science centreToday we had a good field trip to the science centre. Students got to explore exhibits about the earth, carbon cycle and water cycle. They also got to explore exhibits on different kinds of gases and see how hydrogen reacts to electricity in a demonstration. It was a shame that we were not able to have the wet play due to rain but students got to see the Mirror maze as well as the eco garden and a demonstration on electricity.

They are becoming much more independent! 9/26/2019 0 Comments UOI - freezing investigationWe did a whole day investigation yesterday on states of matter.
