Primary 5 Science Investigation
Primary 5 have been investigating water hardness and softness. We found that we have soft water in our taps, the water has between 0mg/L CaCO3 and 50mg/L of CaCO3.
We also investigated the Mpemba Effect. Our results have shown that in most cases the cold water froze faster than the warm water.
However one result showed that the warm water froze faster, this is because of a variation in liquid amounts.
We concluded that in science experiments you can get lots of different results, our predictions are not always correct. Mpemba noticed in 1963 that warm water froze faster than cold water, however many scientists argue with this conclusion. The question whether warm water or cold water freezes first is still being debated today.

Primary 5 and 6’s Christmas Party
Primary 5 and 6 had a great time at their Christmas party. They are most definitley in the festive spirit and they are really looking forward to Christmas.
Forest Fun
We had a fantastic afternoon down in the forest making dens. We worked well as a group to collect the materials we required and using them to make our den. We showed great problem solving skills on how to hold up parts of our dens.
The only criteria Miss Wilson gave us was to make sure our den had a roof and a seating area for everyone in the group to sit on. I am sure you can see, we were very creative with some groups creating beds to sleep in, fires to keep warm and decorative items such as flowers!
