Science Week

We were very lucky to be invited to visit Casterton College for their ‘Inspiring Scientists’ Day. We were one of 6 other schools there and visited many of the science laboratories and classrooms.
Our first activity involved dissolving the colour shell on M&M chocolate sweets and discussing why this happens.
In year four we have focused on electricity connections. The children started the week by designing a lamp or torch that could be used for camping. In pairs the children made a switch using paper clips and split pins.

Year Two have been loving Science and Engineering week. We have been looking at food chains as part of the Science element and have made our own chains. As part of the engineering element, we have been trying to solve Pirate Paddy’s Packed Lunch Problem! Pirate Paddy has been having problems getting the pirates lunch from one ship to another via a rope.

For science week we have looked at the connections between the places in the journey of ‘The snail and the whale.’ The children created story boards of the places the snail and the whale visited, compared what they could see and hear in those places with what they might see and hear in our forest school. They drew a story map of the journey.
