For Science Week, we were treated to a visit from author and former scientist, Dr. Mandy Hartley. Mandy led a ‘Forensic Ecology’ workshop where the children were given a scenario and had use very specific science skills to solve a crime.  Clues were found in pollen, soil and plant samples. It was learning combined with detective work – the perfect combination!

Thanks to Mandy for her unique blend of story-telling and science. The children really enjoyed it! 

Also, the children have been learning about forces and magnets in science. The children saw magnetism in action when they popped a magnet in a bowl of water and the magnet found north by itself.
