Science Week

17/2/2020

 
Our school celebrated science week from Monday 10th February to Friday 14th February and a very enjoyable week was had by all! 

Every daya science riddle was called out over the intercom with students competing with each other to be first in their class with an answer. On Friday we held a table quiz over the intercom.

The teachers carried out various experiments in their classrooms during the course of the week much to the enjoyment of the children. On Friday in the senior building, classes moved around to different classrooms to see different experiments carried out by different teachers while in the junior building, there was a display of various experiments in the hall for all classes. Predictions were made, questions were asked and results were achieved!

All week there was a CSI forensic workshop for both buildings. Children had to find clues, examine footprints and fingerprints to find the culprit!

​On Friday afternoon many classes watched a science movie or played interactive science games, a lovely end to a great week!

Maths week was celebrated this year from Monday October 14th to Friday October 18th where the children had great fun engaging in mathematical activities and games throughout the week. The children put great effort into designing Maths Week 2019 posters which were on display throughout the school.
