The theme for Science Week this year was the Deep Blue. All year levels from Foundation to Grade six participated in lots of fun activities and learnt lots of interesting facts about our oceans and how we must care for them.

All the years 4, 5 and 6 did some really awesome things for science week this year. We got to have fun and learn at the same time. Just a little shout out to Tracy, Mrs Berends aunt who is also a Marine Biologist, for making an amazing video for us as well as doing an hour long question and answer session. We absolutely loved it! In the video we were able to see where Tracy worked and all the different types of Sea Algae she studies - some were from 100 years ago. Tracy taught us facts about sea algae (seaweed). Did you know that even though people call it seaweed it isn’t actually a weed?

The 4s, 5s and 6s also played some games that involved science. We did a couple of Kahoots and a scavenger hunt. On Thursday, lots of kids dressed up as scientists. It was a lot of fun and very enjoyable. We had an awesome time doing it. On the other days we watched a short film called Piper. It was very adorable. We talked about it in our Google Meet groups. On another day we got to create a sea creature! It was very fun. There was a competition for the best sea creatures. I’m sure the prizes will be fantastic.
