Science

Science Club have completed and hung out their recycled bird feeders tonight! We were visited by our local wild parakeets who were very hungry and very loud!

Science Club had an exciting session today! Using vegetable oil and bicarbonate of soda, the children experimented to make their own lava lamps. By mixing food colouring with white vinegar, they created a fun chemical reaction with the bicarbonate of soda — resulting in a bubbling, lava lamp effect! The children were amazed to see science in action and loved watching their colourful creations come to life.

This week in Science Club, the children got hands-on with a fun and creative STEM project — building their very own scribble bots! Scribble bots are simple robots that move around and draw patterns on paper, and the kids loved experimenting with them. Each bot was made using a small motor, a battery, and a few craft materials, like cups, markers, and tape. Once assembled, they watched in delight as their bots vibrated, wobbled, and scribbled across the paper.
