Science Week was a whirlwind of excitement, discovery, and hands-on fun for our brilliant 2nd Class scientists! The classroom was transformed into a mini laboratory, buzzing with eager minds ready to explore the wonders of science.

We kicked off the week with a colourful experiment using Skittles and water to explore diffusion. The children watched in amazement as the colours spread across the plate like a rainbow, learning how particles move and mix, even when we can't see them.

Next, we dived into the strange and squishy world of oobleck! Is it a liquid? Is it a solid? The children discovered that it can be both—making it a non-Newtonian fluid. There were plenty of surprised faces as they squeezed it like dough but then watched it drip through their fingers like slime!

Things got explosive (in a safe way!) when we mixed vinegar and bicarbonate of soda to create our very own volcanic eruptions. The bubbling, fizzing reactions were a big hit, and there were lots of “wows” and “cool!” as our mini volcanoes came to life.

To finish off the week, we rolled up our sleeves and made our very own slime. The classroom was full of giggles, gooey mixtures, and lots of sensory fun.

It was a fantastic week of experimenting, exploring, and—most importantly—learning through fun! Our young scientists showed wonderful curiosity and teamwork, and we can’t wait to see what they discover next.

Well done, 2nd Class—Science Week was a huge success!
