Year 3/4 Science Fair!

On Monday 28th of October parents are invited to visit the neighbourhoods to explore aspects of our Science Inquiry with the students in both 3/4 neighbourhoods. The students have been investigating how a variety of scientific discoveries around energy have made an impact on our lives. As well as a strong science focus, our inquiry has also focused on collaboration and teamwork.

The students have been placed into groups by the teachers and these groups are different from the grouping that the students would choose for themselves. These groupings have been an authentic way for us to explore how we work together and plan to achieve goals.

The neighbourhoods will be open between 12.30 and 2.00pm.

This won’t be a science fair in the traditional sense, there won’t be any prizes or competition, we will be focusing on discussing scientific discoveries and how we work together.

This community event will be a great way to draw our inquiry to a close and the day will be documented through film and posted on the blog for those who are unable to make it.

Hope to see you there!

Congratulations to everyone in the 3/4 Neighbourhood (students, teachers and helpers) for a very successful Science Fair. It was clear that everyone had put in a lot of hard work in preparing the exhibits and was enjoying sharing their knowledge. There was a lot of detailed information about a variety of scientific topics. Special thanks to the children who took the time to explain the principles of gravity, solar panels and electricity to me.
