Inquiry - Term Two 2023

This term in Inquiry, students will be learning about Forces. Students are investigating different types of push and pull forces and how to use forces to create movement. Students are exploring the characteristics and properties of materials and components. They are completing a range of hands-on activities and experiments to see different forces being used. Students will try to keep Blu-Tack afloat and design and test parachutes. 

Here they are experimenting with inclined planes and friction.

Later in the term students will apply their knowledge to design and build their own creation out of materials to complete a challenge. The challenge will be to use a force to move a hollow chocolate egg without breaking it. The students are thoroughly enjoying all the activities so far. 

 

Mothers Day Afternoon

On Thursday 11th of May we celebrated Mothers Day with our Mothers and Special Visitors Day. Students enjoyed showing their Mum or special visitor around the school and participating in various activities with the school. 

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
