Science Fair

We had our annual Science Fair and it was a brilliant success as usual! There were twenty groups altogether in 3^rd ,4^th,5^th and 6^th class. In Ms.Moores classroom (5^th and 6^th) there were the following groups:- The flight group, they had three parts, Military Aeroplanes, The Elastic Aeroplane and how it works and All about Birds(they had a real bird on display!). Then there was the Global Warming Group, they spoke about Climate Change and Recycling. The next group was the Surface Tension, Their experiment was the dancing raisins. Colour-changing milk was next. They changed the colour of milk for their experiment. Next was the delicious Chocolate group, they showed us how it’s made and gave out samples. Then there was the Cows’ Lungs and Pigs’ Heart Group… they dissected them Eeeewwh! And last but not least… The Health and Fitness group. They made their own germs!!!
