Second class had a wonderful science week. We investigated floating and sinking and made our own boats out of tinfoil. We also looked at forces. We made a ramp for a toy car and tested out different surfaces. We investigated how to balance a ruler on a pencil. At the end of the week each second class did an experiment for the other second classes and we had so much fun learning from each other.
You can try to do some of these experiments at home! 
We had three teams enter the St Abban’s Table Quiz in Killeen Hall on Thursday night. It was a fun quiz and all our teams did very well on the night!
