Fun at the Science Lab

This week's theme was water. The children had lots of fun with floating and sinking activities. They also observed what happens when you mix different liquids together - experimenting with cooking oil, food colouring, vinegar, salt and golden syrup. The Year 5 and 6 science leaders did a great job setting things up, explaining, guiding and questioning. All the children who came along to try out the activities said it was lots of fun. We are hoping they come again next week and spread the word to encourage more children to visit the Science Lab.

Science at Wanaka Primary 2017

We are looking forward to another year of great science at Wanaka Primary. The staff science team consists of Sharon (Pod 1), Markus (Pod 7) and Karina (Pod 6). The following teachers have also put their hands up to lead science in their Pod: Nic (Pod 5), Moira (Pod 4), Jo (Pod 3) and Rebecca (Pod 2). 
Thirty-two children from Year 5 and 6 have signed up to become Science Leaders. This term they are helping Sharon to run a Science Lab in Pod 1. This is aimed at encouraging younger children (Years 1-4) to have a go at some fun, hands-on activities. Watch this space for photos of the young scientists in action.
