What an exciting day we had at this year’s Intel Mini Scientist competition! Our young scientists put tremendous effort, creativity, and enthusiasm into their projects, and it truly showed. The room was buzzing with curiosity as students proudly explained their ideas, demonstrated experiments, and shared what they had learned.
It was wonderful to welcome the parents who were able to come along and see the projects in action. They were delighted to showcase their hard work.
Overall, it was a joyful celebration of science, curiosity, and student talent. We’re already looking forward to next year’s discoveries!
This week in Maths we are focusing on Multiplication! We are using concrete resources like cubes to help us represent different multiplication facts and learn the different properties of multiplication!Â
By using hands on materials, children are more likely to retain information and improve their critical thinking and problem solving skill. We are also enjoying putting our timestables knowledge to the test through lots of games like Snakes and Ladders, Around the World and Splat!Â
📵 Screen Free Games 📵
The children in 4th Class had a ball last week at our screen free games workshop, organised by the parent's association!Â
It was great to see them so excited and engaged without a bit of technology in sight. They loved trying all of the different activities and admired the creativity and craftsmanship that went into creating all of the lovely games.Â
This was a great team building activity where the children had an opportunity to show off their values of care, respect and responsibility.Â
🧛🧟Pinch Pot Monsters! 🎃👻
Yesterday, 4th Class made pinch pot clay monsters. They carefully made pinch pots and then creatively added their own spooky monster features!Â
We used the technique of scratch and slip to stick the features so that they will stick well (hopefully!)
I can't wait to see the finished product.
