Science Fair

14th Nov 2024

6th class held a science fair on Tuesday for Science Week. We invited all classes in the school. It was a huge success! In small groups the students did some cool experiments on the yard. They designed their own posters for stalls and explained the science behind their experiments to students and teachers who came to visit. Thanks to all students for being so engaged! All the students absolutely loved looking at the stalls and seeing the science behind all the colour, snow, slime, goo, rockets, catapults and water bending.
