The Amazon Rainforest

We have been learning about the Amazon Rainforest in fourth class. We did an experiment in class, recreating tropical rainforest conditions in jars, we are now hoping to see lots of green growth in the jars!

Lifetime Lab Workshop

The children in fourth class visited the Lifetime Lab. They spent the day learning about forces; moving things and slowing things down. They explored; ways in which air can make things move, how magnets can make things move, the effects of friction on movement, air resistance and the concept of gravity as a pull force. They enjoyed partaking in a rocket mouse challenge, building a magnetic car and designing and making a parachute and carrying out fair tests.
