This year for Halloween, we decided to do a whole 6th class collaborative dress-up. We brought in white tshirts and designed them with dalmation print. We also designed dog ears to use for our dress up. We had great fun, and visited the younger classes for some doggy entertainment! As a school, we also raised […]

Experiment Title: Inspector Detector Our experiment involved exploring the force of both magnets and magnetic fields. Before beginning our experiment we needed to get a little bit of background information on magnets, their force, and their uses. With this in mind we did a mini lesson on magnets and magnetism.
