And the switch went on and - hey presto! - the light bulbs lit up - woo hoo!








Mr Muir explains a simple circuit to us today, as part of our Inquiry into electrical technology.


Success!








Using a philips screwdriver to tighten the screws - great job girls!

Who would like to be an Electrician?

Here is the circuit ready to go. Mr Muir has set the main parts up for us already. Can you see the switch, lamp fitting, battery fitting and the wires?





We are all really excited to be making a circuit. We are learning to put the wires in the correct place, under a screw, under a metal plate. We have to trace the line of the circuit with our finger to figure out if the circuit is complete. If it is not the bulb will not light up when we turn the switch on.

Do you think you could try bread making at home? Compare it to the bread you buy from a shop.

Andreas is very keen to watch the reaction! It's Food Science!

Accurate measuring Max!

Robert is beginning to knead the dough.

Valentina cuts the dough into pieces ready for each person to roll into a ball.


Each ball is rolled in melted butter and placed in the tray ready to bake.

Everyone is quietly eating!

Proud bakers today Jack and Quinn!


Diamon is a super star at drying up!



Warm and steamy - we blow on our baking and break it open - yum!

Chantelle's Teach the teacher - origami rabbits -and look how are Little Gardens are growing!

Chantelle patiently taught everyone to make origami rabbits all morning! Thank you for organising all the materials Chantelle! You were a super teacher!






Next we are really looking after our seeds and look how much they have grown! We have been putting them in the sun and carefully spraying water on them so they don't get too wet!

Teach the Teacher in the last 2 weeks!

Felicia teaches us the chemical reaction between vinegar and baking soda as a gradual process. Her assistants were Chantelle and Karol.


Alex makes Gloop with cornflour and water - it was an interesting observation and we can all try it at home!



Leena showed us how to draw traditional Afghani Mehndi patterns on hands. They are used for special occasions like weddings. My pattern was beautiful Leena!  

Arad with his assistant, Quinn, about to making an erupting volcano! Fantastic model Arad - you put a lot of thought into your demonstration!
