Making slime in 5th & 6th Class

Electricity in 5th and 6th Class

On Friday, the boys and girls of 5th & 6th Class explored electricity by creating simple circuits. The pupils experimented using switches, lights, speakers and motors.

Space Week 2018

Each class in the school learned more about space as we celebrated Space Week. In Infants, the pupils created fantastic rocket-themed artwork. In 1st & 2nd, the pupils made amazing balloon-powered rockets! In 3rd & 4th, pupils worked in groups to create exciting projects based about life and fashion in space. In 5th & 6th, the pupils learned about the planets of the solar system and their relative sizes.

5th & 6th: Rockets blast off!

Working in small groups, the pupils designed and built their own rockets. Each rocket had a unique theme and design - very exciting! We learned about the reaction between vinegar and baking soda and put this to use to fuel our own rockets!

Science Week 2018

Each class in the school got to engage with more hands-on science as part of Science Week 2018! 

5th & 6th Class investigates:
The effect of salt on potatoes!

We conducted two experiments using potatoes.

1: We explored the role of a potato's skin in keeping its moisture. We observed the change in a peeled potato versus an unpeeled potato over several hours. The peeled potato dried out.
2: We cut a potato in half and hollowed out both halves with a spoon. Salt was added to one half but not the other. We observed that the salt drew out the water from the potato's cells. The other potato (our control condition) remained unchanged.
