SUPER SCIENCE FUN DAY
DING, dong. The school bell rang.
It was time for Science Fun Day and I couldn’t wait to see the senior class’ experiments, and also do exciting activities with my friends.
It was Tuesday, August 25, and my school was celebrating National Science Week.
Now I will tell you what happened.
Firstly, we went to Mrs Masina’s classroom for the morning session and we watched clips of ‘Deep Blue: Innovations for the future of our oceans’.
We learned how we need to save our oceans as there is so much plastic and rubbish that has been thrown into the oceans.
We saw images of dead animals which had died because of the rubbish that was in their habitat. It was very sad.
Next, we went to see what activities we would be doing outside the classroom and one of them was making a bird out of plastic.
Mrs Masina showed us how we would be making the bird in pairs.
Then we heard the bell, so all of us went to get our hands washed and we ate our lunch.
We had some free time and played handball.
Finally we got to see the experiments done by the senior class.
There was elephant’s toothpaste and another was sucking a boiled egg into a bottle without breaking it. It was amazing seeing all the explosions, too.
Then we did the activities and I was partnered with Hayley.
First, we made the plastic bird. It was hard at first but then I got the hang of it.
When I made my compass, I used a magnet which showed north, and when I turned it any way, it would turn to north again.
The day was incredible. All I want to say now is: “I can’t wait till next year.”
