Science Week

This week is Science Week and we have been busy learning to be scientists at school.

We are learning to observe carefully using our five senses - looking, listening, smelling, tasting and feeling.
We are beginning to use drawing and writing to record our observations.
We are learning to measure carefully.
We are thinking deeply about what we have observed.
We are wondering and asking questions about what we have observed.

Our school was very lucky to have several adult scientists volunteer to take workshops for students in their areas of expertise.

We buddied up with children from other classrooms and chose two workshops of interest.
The junior children studied:
  • Observation Skills
  • NZ Birds
  • Anatomy
  • Astronomy
  • Chemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Experiments.
We all had an exciting day and learned lots of skills!
