Colourful science in Year 3! π§ͺπ
Investigating insoluble solids in Year 3! π¬π§
Our students visited Kudos Cafe to master the fundamentals of market research and observation. Rather than just reading about consumer behaviour, they conducted in-depth observations of the cafΓ©βs layout, customer flow, and demographic profiles during peak operating hours to truly grasp real-world market segmentation.
Going beyond mere observation, the students engaged in active market research through short intercepts with both patrons and staff. By gathering essential primary data on customer satisfaction and menu preferences, they are building a strong foundation in understanding exactly what drives a successful F&B business.
A brilliant start to putting business theory into practice! π‘

Our students went on an insightful field trip to Coffeetorium. Their mission? To observe a real-world business environment and develop a comprehensive Marketing Proposal from the ground up.
By experiencing the daily operations firsthand, the students tackled three crucial stages of business development:
1. Product Innovation: Analysing the current menu to suggest fresh new product ideas and improvements. π‘
2. Marketing Tactics: Observing customer behaviour to recommend targeted promotional strategies. π£
3. Feasibility: Filtering their creative ideas to provide only the most practical and realistic business suggestions that can be successfully executed. π
There is no better way to learn than by doing. It is absolutely brilliant to see our students applying their theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios and shaping actionable business strategies!

There is nothing quite like a colourful experiment to spark a love for science!
Our Year 3 students had an absolutely brilliant time in the classroom recently, investigating how certain solids dissolve in liquids. Through a very fun and hands-on activity, the children carefully observed the chemical reaction that occurs when water is added to sugar-coated sweets. As the colours dissolved and blended, it sparked wonderful discussions about mixtures and solutions.
Just look at those proud smiles! A massive well done to our inquisitive Year 3 learners. π‘

Continuing their exploration of materials and mixtures, our Year 3 class focused on the fascinating process of separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. Before they could separate the materials, the students first had to carefully measure, mix, and observe how certain solids react when stirred into water, noting that they do not dissolve.
Hands-on experiments like this are absolutely brilliant for developing critical thinking, encouraging accurate observation, and bringing complex scientific vocabulary to life. A massive well done to our focused young scientists! β¨
