Primary Science Fair

On Thursday 18th August students from Prep to grade 6 participated in the Primary Science Fair. Students either completed experiments or investigations, which they worked on at home, and then created a report to share what they discovered with the school community. Some students found out about what floats and what sinks, the Solar System, circuits, refraction, alternative energy sources, natural disasters, water pressure, illnesses, density of liquids, water tension and the impact of acid on calcium, just to name some. Students spent the morning visiting other classrooms and after lunch opened their own classrooms for parents and secondary classes to visit. It was another fabulous Science Fair and students (and their parents) are congratulated on the effort they made to present and talk about their projects.

Grade 5E have been busy stitching a radial design. They needed to design a pattern that included two lines of radial symmetry. The students learnt how to create a cross stitch, satin stitch and running stitch. Outstanding stitching was created by Alisa, Zaki, Yasmin, Kymook, Riley, Manea and Vrudhi.
