In Year 2, we have been learning about how to stay healthy. As part of that topic, we have been learning about keeping our teeth healthy following a visit from a dentist. We conducted an experiment using eggshells to see how different liquids can damage our teeth. Egg shells contain calcium, so they are a good substitute for real teeth. We left the eggs in water, milk, orange juice and coke for two days. We made predictions about what we thought would happen to the eggs. When we removed the eggs from the liquids two days later, we were in for a surprise!
As predicted, the water did not damage the egg. Neither did the milk. The coke stained the eggshell; however, the biggest surprise was from the juice, which eroded the enamel of the eggshell. This demonstrated how our teeth could be damaged if we don't brush them correctly and eat and drink lots of sugary foods. We then recorded our results and came to a conclusion about what the results proved.

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
