60th Earth Hour
Help us change the world this weekend!
Can an Hour change the world?
Just 60 minutes? Yes, just one hour. It may not seem like much, but the magic happens when you, and those like you in Asia and Africa, North and South America, Oceania and Europe – supporters in over 190 countries and territories – all give an hour, creating the Biggest Hour for Earth.
By doing so, this Hour can shine an unmissable global spotlight on nature loss and climate change, and the need to work together to secure a brighter future for people and the planet.
Give an Hour for Earth by spending 60 minutes doing something – anything – positive for our planet.

A Bubble inside a Bubble inside a Bubble
P6/7 were 
having fun with science creating a Bubble within a Bubble within a Bubble ……
Our record was 3!
P6/7 tips for blowing bubbles -blow gently, don’t make bubbles too big, when you are on your second bubble, push the pipette in from the top, not the side.
Many thanks to Lynn Morrison for the experiment instructions and resources.
