This term our focus has been on Biological Sciences, and the children from Room 13 and Room 18 have teamed up every Monday afternoon to work through the various scientific concepts. As part of this unit of work, we have been investigating the way different materials change state from solids, liquids and gases. This has involved making jelly, melting chocolate and most recently, designing and constructing "tissue box eskis" with the challenge of preventing an ice block from melting when left out in the sun. It was an afternoon of scientific thinking, innovation and creativity. Thank you to all families who donated empty tissue boxes for this activity. I would also like to extend a huge thanks to Anthony Vacca for generously donating the materials for construction. We are very lucky to have such supportive parents!
