Week 3 (7 August – 11 August)

Greetings Parents,

This week B Pod went to MOTAT. It was a great trip. It provided a wonderful introduction to the Material World which we are currently looking at in Science. The children have been learning that the Material World essentially refers to the physical world where we live, work and play.

The children attended a session with one of the MOTAT educators. They looked at 5 simple machines and were then given the opportunity to work with materials to create machines and identify items from the past that used these 5 simple machines.

Here are some of the machines that the children looked at.

In Science in the classroom this week, we looked at the Water Cycle and conducted some simple experiments to help build understanding. Here are some photos of one of the experiments which highlighted condensation and absorption for the children.

Next Friday is B1’s assembly. Please do come and share in this with us.
