Science and Birthday Cupcakes

"All together now. Happy Birthday to you..."

Despite the many happy interruptions, we're soldiering on with learning. This week we've been looking at time. Please talk about time with your child. Show them examples of digital and analogue clocks around the home. Students are wrapping their heads around "quarter past..." and "quarter to..." This is something easy to help with at home. Yesterday, following afternoon recess, students experimented with surface tension and buoyancy. Around this time, Therons' mother swung by the school to deliver delicious cupcakes. We managed to tidy up the science equipment and still have a little cupcake party for this great kid. Thanks again!
