Sts Peter & Paul School will be celebrating our ‘Annual Science Day’ on Friday 18th August, 2023.

In class groups, students will participate in a variety of engaging science activities. Keeping with tradition, the Year 6 students will lead the experiments with teacher support and supervision. Students from all grades are invited to dress up as their favourite Scientist for the day. 

The National Science Week theme for this year is ‘Innovation: Powering Future Industries.’

Activities include: 

• Rocket Balloons, Twirly Birds, Air Cannons, and Plastic Bag Parachutes.

IMPORTANT: In preparation for Science Day, we need your help, please send in recycled materials for the activities we will be conducting. If you have any of these materials that you were going to throw out anyway, could you please send them to school with your child. 

The list of materials that we will need to make our annual Science Day a success: plastic shopping bags, cardboard cylinders/rolls. 

For ideas and activities to try at home, please see Questacon’s activity page https://www.questacon.edu.au/learn-and-play .

We look forward to an exciting day of Science! Keep an eye on our Facebook page and newsletter for photos and student reflections.
