Thank you to all our families and those from the wider school community who packed hats, scarves, toothbrushes, toys, copies, crayons and other gifts for children in other parts of the world who are less fortunate than ourselves. Your efforts will surely bring a smile to the faces of many this Christmas! Well done everyone!

We planted bulbs in our school garden. First we had to clear the weeds. Then we planted the bulbs making sure to plant them with the roots facing down. We planted daffodils, snowdrops, tulips and crocuses. We don't need to water them as there is lots of rain. We will be watching our garden carefully over the coming weeks to see if any shoots appear.

Materials- properties and Characteristics

The Senior Room were learning about some common household materials. We took some everyday household materials and used litmus paper to test if they were an acid or a base. If a material is a base it turns litmus paper from a red colour to a blue colour. If a material is an acid it turns litmus paper from blue to red!

The Junior Room learned about climate change and how we can take care of our environment. They had fun testing different materials to see if they were magnetic. They investigated pushing and pulling forces and floating and sinking. They also made some super frothy foaming potions during science week. Take a look at the pictures below.
