Science Week (including a solar eclipse)

30/3/15

The children of Archibald First school became scientists and engineers for National Science and Engineering week.  They took part in lots of experiments and investigations.  We had visitors from Newcastle y University.  Mr Morrow also kindly arranged for a solar esclipse on Friday 20th March.  We all went outside at 9.30am to experience this event.

 

 

 

I asked Blogging Club members to share their favourite parts of this exciting week.

Science week was amazing because a street scientist came in and should us loads of thing like a ketchup sachet in a bottle of water a said try to get this ketchup sachet up to the top and Regina done it by squeezing the bottle .
