On Friday 7th November the Primary Section celebrated Science Day. Reception Bears tested how well they could do things with their eyes open compared to having their eyes closed. Among several tasks we tried: Assembling blocks
Writing own name
Building a tower of blocks
(even Mr. Evans gave it a shot)
Jumping
We found out that some things we could do just the same,
others took longer and other tasks were very difficult to complete.
See how we can hop turning around and bouncing and catching a ball.
We also attempted to identify what was on these plates:
Our eyes did not help, but our taste did:
Salt, sugar, iced tea and honey.
Well done Rodrigo and Suhani for identifying all four.
We also investigated how much we rely on our dominant hand.
Pictures on the right are drawn with our right hand.
Pictures on the left are drawn with our left hand.

The children did a good job but said it was much harder
Today we made some colourful ocean drums.
We explored the different sounds we could make with them.
Do you think you could make one too?
This was a great opportunity to develop listening skills.
Every time the sound changed, the Globe changed direction.
The children had to listen carefully to the sound changes,
especially when instruments were being played slowly and
without pauses.
