SCIENCE EXPO 2021 (Term 2)
In the last week of term 2 our students' Science Inquiry Learning was showcased at our Science Expo. Questions were posed by students and addressed through their presentation. The students' work was presented in a variety of ways through dioramas, paintings, drawings and stop motion movies. The children’s dispositions and learning styles were evident in their enthusiastic presentations. What a wonderful celebration of learning!
