Year 1 and 2

Welcome

Wow, Week 4! We can't believe that we are nearly half way through the term! This week we had Science Week and the Grade 1s and 2s got to participate in a Science Incursion called 'Jolly Bops'. They learnt about chemical reactions and how different molecules transfer into solids, liquids and gases. Well done to our amazing Grade 1 and 2 volunteers!

Science in the Classroom
