Science Club

On Tuesday’s at lunchtime in the school kitchen Mrs Todd and some keen year 6/7 students have been running a science club.

It is currently being advertised as a Junior Primary Club (R-2), but enthusiastic students that fit outside of this bracket are encouraged to come along and act as peer mentors.

The first three weeks have been messy!  Exploding bags, volcano chemical reactions, ooblek and balloon rockets, with more junior science experiments to follow throughout the term.

In terms 3 & 4 we will change the activities and aim to cater for an older audience (years 3-7).

Looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday!

Visiting Reptiles

This term the MAD/Science room has hosted two reptilian friends borrowed from the Nature Education Centre.

We have had a Barking Gecko and “Lightning” the Bearded Dragon. 

Lightning has enjoyed being out of his enclosure (held by the teacher) and shared with classes to look at observable features of reptiles.  We have looked at his scales, camouflaging appearance and were shocked when on closer touch his spikes are not spiky at all!
