Our young scientists engaged in a brilliant hands-on experiment to deeply understand the unique states of matter.
The students investigated specific melting and boiling points, discovering exactly why water acts so differently from many other substances. Through this practical session, they also explored complex concepts, such as how water expands when it solidifies and its remarkable ability to dissolve a wide range of materials.
From carefully reading thermometers to diligently timing the reactions and plotting their temperature data on graphs, our Year 5 learners demonstrated fantastic analytical and teamwork skills. A truly wonderful day of scientific discovery! 📊👏

Our Year 4 students have been thoroughly enjoying their latest hands-on Science unit, investigating the fascinating world of electrical circuits. They enthusiastically took on the role of real scientists to explore the key differences between conductors and insulators.
Using a simple testing circuit complete with a battery, wires, and a small lamp, the children tested a wide variety of everyday classroom materials. From wooden flag stands to plastic blocks and fabric, they carefully observed and recorded which materials allowed the electrical current to flow—lighting up the bulb!—and which ones safely blocked it.
Active, practical experiments like these are absolutely fantastic for helping our young learners grasp complex physics concepts in a fun and highly memorable way. A brilliant effort from our inquisitive Year 4 scientists! ⚡️🔬
