During science week the children in Lyon room have been finding out about the different ways water is present in our school grounds. They have been collecting samples and observing changes during the week. In the afternoons the children explored ways of making things move. They made walking caterpillars, flapping fish, sucking flowers and rockets. During the week the children also observed colour changes through powder paint exploration. It was a fun week filled with curiosity!

Last week on Wednesday for Science Week, Kayla made a very colourful volcano with the Savoy Learning Space. We watched, totally mesmerised and lots of bright colours poured from the jars.
