Friendly reminder 📢

Please inform Student Services by 12.30pm today if you plan to pick up your child early. Today is a whole-school assembly following the lunch break which means it will be tricky for us to get a message to your child’s teacher.

🎨 Hands-on Fun with Acrylic Paint! 🖐️

Our Primary students dove into the colourful world of acrylic paint with an exciting hands-on activity! Together, we explored the versatility of this medium while creating collaborative art pieces using our handprints.

From Reception to Year 2 in PLC2, and Year 3 to Year 6 in PLC4, every student had a hand in crafting stunning artworks that will soon adorn our primary buildings. 🏫

Not only did they learn the basics of acrylic painting, but they also celebrated teamwork and creativity.

Stay tuned to see our vibrant masterpieces on display!

🍿🔥 Exploring Heat Energy with Popcorn! 🔥🍿

In Science this term, we're delving into chemistry, focusing on heat energy. Our recent experiment involved making popcorn using various methods.

We learned how heat energy transforms kernels into delicious popcorn. Stove top and microwave attempts were successful, while the hairdryer experiment was a flop.

We enjoyed observing how heat energy changed the popcorn's appearance and texture. And of course, tasting the results was the best part!
