Engineering Week 2020

March 10, 2020

We enjoyed celebrating Engineering Week last week.

Our favourite activity was constructing a bridge out of paper, paper clips and tape; that would hold up an orange. We loved working in a team and using a budget of paper and tape, as well as predicting whether our bridge would hold or not.

Spring Art

 

The boys made lambs from paper plates and cotton wool.

They also got to learn about the French artist George Seurat. He used a type of painting known as pointillism in his work. The boys copied this by using cotton buds and doing ‘dotty’ painting on their butterflies.

Scientists in the making

February 25, 2020

Today we conducted the Skittles experiment. We noticed that Skittles creates a rainbow of colours that do not mix when hot water is poured over them. The really interesting part was when we found out that cold water makes them mix. We were so amazed!
