Science Week in LC 10

Science Week in LC 10

Science Week was a great success, with lots of classes doing their own science experiments.

Here is what LC 10 learnt:

After reading that plants need water, we followed the experiment to see what happens when you placed celery into water with food colouring.  Our variables were carnations and blue dye.

Our hypothesis: The celery was going to turn red all over and the petals on the flower was going to turn red.

After a short time the leaves started to change to red.  The blue dye didn't do anything at first.

Our conclusion:We think the red works better because it was powder and maybe it was stronger than blue liquid dye.

Great work LC 10!!

Constable Bryan & Bobby came to talk about Serial Number Action Partnership - SNAP.

The purpose of SNAP is to prevent burglary, property offending and the trade of stolen property in New Zealand by encouraging the recording of serial numbers of important possessions or assets on SNAP's website. 

If you enter the unique school code WMS1260 we may be in the chance to win $2000 for the school!!

Bobby the dog.

Can we memorise Constable Bryan's serial number?

Michelle from Cash Converters talked about what we could do to prevent stolen goods.
