Year 4’s Cool Chemistry Experiment!
This week in Year 4, our budding scientists dived into the fascinating world of states of matter! We explored the properties of solids, liquids, and gases through an exciting hands-on experiment. Children measured how long it takes for ice to transform into water and discovered how different environments can impact the melting speed! They learned that science is not just about textbook theories; it’s about observation, inquiry, and having fun!
Exploring Rights, Responsibilities, and Democracy in Our Classroom!
This week, our children have been diving into the essential themes of rights and responsibilities, focusing on Articles 12 and 28 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. In collaborative groups, they explored images reflecting these crucial topics, fostering discussions on fairness, equality, and what it means to have a voice in our democracy. Together, they participated in a lively debate, weighing the pros and cons of different life scenarios. Our students passionately identified changes needed to ensure every child enjoys a better life.
Roman Pottery in Art Class!
Today, our brilliant students delved into the fascinating world of Roman pottery! They learned how the Romans crafted various pots for different purposes, from cooking to storing precious goods. Guided by their creativity, the children got their hands dirty as they created their very own pottery masterpieces using a range of exciting techniques. We are so proud of their imagination and hard work! Look at their stunning creations!
Year 4’s Science Experiment: Heating Up the Fun!
This week, our inquisitive Year 4 students took on an exciting challenge from Professor Sally Scientifico! They embarked on a fascinating science experiment to observe the heating and cooling processes. The question posed was intriguing: Do all materials melt the same amount when heated for the same length of time? Our budding scientists made their predictions and then rolled up their sleeves to conduct the experiment! After careful observation and recording, they summarised their findings, showcasing their scientific reasoning skills. We are so proud of their enthusiasm and commitment to learning! Keep shining, Year 4!
