Year 6 were given the opportunity to try a free tennis lesson from a specialist coach last week. Here are some photos of 6E in action!
Year 6 are currently inquiring into 'How the World Works' and had the opportunity to talk to a local expert during the 'finding out' stages of the inquiry process. Ms Fatima, founder of 'Fruffles' truffles based here in the UAE, came in to talk to the Year 6 students about our 2nd line of Inquiry 'How businesses utilize materials'. She shared her story about the beginning of her business venture and the problems she faced with the packaging and the creation of her product. She uses many scientific ideas to help make her business successful and running efficiently. She also gave the Year 6 students some advice on starting their own business. Year 6 are looking forward to taking on Ms Fatima's advice during their own Enterprise Project this term.
This week we are finding out about Line of Inquiry 1 which is; The nature of chemical and physical changes We have been inquiring into the different properties of materials and the states of matter. We discovered that many food based items cause reactions when solids, liquid or gases combine. We took two of our favourite things; Ice cream and Soda and mixed them together to see what would happen when the solid and liquid combined together. The ice cream is solid, the cola is a liquid and the air bubbles are a gas. We found that it creates a chemical reaction because the new substance formed cant be easily separated.
