We are balanced and fulfilled
A note from the Principal
It has been an explosive and enlightening week in Primary, as we celebrated our annual Science Week. Welcoming back Ruben Meerman and Ian Stuart, all our students have been immersed in Science.
In Year 5, the students have been investigating how different light conditions impact on the production of oxygen for pond weed plants. In Year 1, the children have been studying the periodic table, making molecules of H2O2 and NH3, and magnifying anything in sight x100. In Year 6, the learning has focussed on the structure of atoms, calculating the amount of protons, neutrons and electrons needed to make up specific atoms and went on to build them using Ian's unique ‘atom maker’.
Over the next 2 weeks, Ruben and Ian are collaborating with our teacher Science leads to develop a curriculum that integrates discrete atomic theory units of learning and inter woven links to existing Science units! Impressive stuff Patana Primary!
Congratulations, finally, to our Year 3 students who had a great week at Residential, and good luck to those who are off next week!
