We had another amazing Science Week in school! On Tuesday our junior school classes took part in a workshop with Gabi from Creative Classrooms. They learned lots about the scientific topic of light and shadow. On Wednesday we had our annual Super Science Quiz in the hall. It was very close and everyone showed off all their scientific knowledge! Congratulations to team nine on their win! Finally, on Friday our senior school classes took part in a workshop with Roisin from Mess Chef. The children learned about acids, bases and chemical reactions while making delicious doughnuts and pink lemonade!
Senior school classes played in a basketball blitz this week. Our teams were all named after NBA teams. The Raptors, Rockets, Supersonics and Knicks made it to the semi finals and the Rockets narrowly beat the Raptors in a brilliant final! Thanks to Ms. Larkin for refereeing our games! We had so much fun!
Brother Cross Country
