So far this year students have been focusing on Physical and Chemical science. In years 1-2 students have been examining how materials behave and can be changed by either mixing to create new materials or physically to make them stronger. Students have engaged in hands on activities that allow them to explore these principles and apply them to everyday activities. In Rooms 1-3 Students have used their knowledge to work in groups to create arcade games that used forces, materials to achieve a purpose. This also involved communication, problem solving and trial and error. However, in the end they did construct amazing working arcade games and should be immensely proud of their results.  

In Term 3 Science week will be running in week 5 the theme for this year is Decoding the Universe – Exploring the unknown with nature’s hidden language. Students will have the ability to take part in activities during lunch times in week 5. These include an egg drop challenge, strawberry DNA extraction and many more. There will be facts and questions around the school for students to find and a science demonstration at breakfast club that week. I look forward to seeing you all during science week!!
