SCIENCE WEEK

Science week is always an exciting time for teachers, students and classes.

A number of activities were held at lunchtime this year including a Bottle Toss competition run by Mr McGrath to see who could toss a bottle to land flat on the ground with the most accuracy. Students who were involved in the competition were allowed to fill their bottle with the volume of water they thought would be most accurate before competing.

The Science Spectacular was held on Thursday  at lunchtime. Science teachers prepared weeks in advance with a series of impressive science demonstrations. Our STEM captain, Sam Wakelam, also performed the Elephant’s Toothpaste to much delight. Liquid nitrogen was ordered in for the final act where Mr Maxwell and Mr Rickard made icecream from liquid nitrogen, cream and sugar for all the attendees to take with them.

Staff didn't miss out either, with a marvellous morning tea  including dissected fish  (terrine), various bodily cells (cakes) and bubble brains (strawberry crackles).
