The Sensational Stage 3 Classroom
This week, Years 5 and 6 had an incredible hands-on learning experience when they travelled to UNE Armidale alongside Mrs Wilson and Mrs Caskey for an interactive Science Expo!
They participated in:
- safe stock-handling practices using virtual reality headsets
- cattle genetics explained with smarties
- making and sharpening stone tools from rocks and sticks
- making butter the old fashioned way (elbow grease) and enjoying it on pancakes
- exploring the impressive animal museum
The sessions were led by professors of the Science and Agriculture departments at UNE and they were educational, hands-on and very engaging! Overall, it was a wonderful day and the students were a delight and represented our school well.
