As part of our Year 2 transport topic, 2 Ocean made and tested boats. Our Science unit of learning is materials, so we tested different materials to find out which ones floated and were sturdy. We then worked in small groups to decide which material we would use to make our boats. We designed our boats and planned how we would make them. Some of us tested joining materials such as glue and tape for water resistance. Then we made our boats. Next, we tested them in water, placing 10g weights on them to see which could hold the most weight. We found that the best material to use was tin foil as it didn't let in any water. We also thought that the size of the boat helped it to hold so much weight.

Last week, Year 6 had the exciting opportunity to visit the Secondary Science Labs to explore the fascinating phenomenon of plasma. Using plasma balls, students experimented with focusing energy in specific directions and attempted to light different types of bulbs.
The Lunar New Year celebrations at BISB began with a lively and fun assembly hosted by Jason and Sonia. Their energy set the tone for the rest of the day, filled with activities that brought everyone together.
We are incredibly proud to share that Laura Ivánka (Year 9) has achieved a remarkable milestone by winning the Fourth Award at the prestigious Taiwan International Science Fair (TISF), representing BISB on a global platform.
Our EYFS children had an incredible time on their recent trip to the fire station! They were thrilled to meet real-life firefighters and learn all about their important work.
