Year 5 & 6 Interschool Final Games

 Yesterday our 3 year 5 & 6 interschool teams played their final games at Saint Jospeh's School New Plymouth. All 3 teams finished as 'runners up' in the competition after three very close games. It was a pleasure to watch all three games - the level of skills the team members displayed was amazing. Well done to everyone involved.

People Savers Course

Room 7 students were lucky enough to have Nicki along from the Red Cross to guide them through the People Savers course. The DRS ABC was emphasised throughout the day and students learnt about the importance of tilting an unconscious person's head back to ensure their air way is unblocked.
At all times students need to consider their own safety.

Science in Room 7

Room 7 students soaked an egg in vinegar for 3 days. They discovered the acid in the vinegar reacted with the calcium in the egg shell. This reaction created carbon bubbles. After 3 days, the egg shell had almost completely dissolved. Now we have the 'shell-less' egg soaking in a sugar solution. What will happen we wonder?
