Gravity, Friction and Magnetism

This term has been very busy in the Science room! The Year 3/4 students have been learning about forces through hands on science experiments focusing on Gravity, Friction and Magnetism. We have predicted, observed and explained what has happened in a variety of activities. The students thoroughly enjoyed investigating and making their own balloon hovercrafts.

The Year 5/6 students have been learning about electricity and have explored circuits by making a paper clip switch and pressure switch to demonstrate how an open or closed switch will allow their light bulb to operate. To finish the term, the students have eagerly started working on their Electricity Project focusing on making a room/s in a house with electrical circuits.

Schools for Nature Project update

On Monday 16th March, Melissa Doherty from Hume City Council will be delivering a presentation to the Year 4 Parents. The focus is to hear about what is happening at school and how our students are connecting with nature.

Earlier this term, the student leadership group visited the site chosen for improvement and are eagerly awaiting Term 2 so the project can begin.
