Over the past week, Year 2 conducted an experiment to see the effect of different liquids on enamel. We used eggs to represent teeth as they have similar enamel. We covered 4 out of 5 of the eggs in different liquids (water, milk, orange juice and coke) to see what effect they had on the enamel of the eggs. The children made predictions about what the different liquids would do to the enamel on the eggs and then drew scientific diagrams.
After a week we looked at what the different liquids had done to our eggs. We were very surprised to see that the juice had eroded the enamel from the egg and the coke had only died the egg a different colour. We recorded the results in our science books and drew diagrams of what we had observed.
Next, we will be looking at the effect toothpaste can have to protect enamel as part of our homework.
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.
