We were exploring the theme of Materials and Change for Science Week this year. We examined how materials changed when water was added. We experimented to see if various materials were waterproof or not. We examined what happens when oil is added to water and made some marble prints. We also looked at the effects of heating and cooling on materials and made Rice Crispie Buns.

This year Science Week took place from the 13th to the 20th November. To participate in the week all the children submerged themselves in scientific endeavours. The Junior Room designed and make waterproof shelters and experimented with mixing, heating and melting materials. The Senior Room made magnetic car and then had races using magnets. The highlight of the week was using mixing, heating and cooling to make jelly, rice krispie buns and iced biscuits. Our “Science Party” was a fitting end to a very productive and educational week!!!
