🚀 Year 3 gets hands-on with physics! ⚙️ Our Year 3 scientists had an incredible time diving into the physical world during our Forces, Friction & Movement workshop on Monday 21st September with Fizzics Education! To support our NSW Science & Technology curriculum outcome—investigating how contact and non-contact forces affect an object’s motion (ST2-9PW-ST)—students spent the day testing, launching, spinning, and predicting how the world around us moves! 🧪✨ Here’s a peak at what our young physicists explored: 💨 Push, Pull & Friction: Tested how friction resists movement with the book pull-apart challenge, skateboard shuffles, and magnetic levitators. 🌀 Rotational Forces & Inertia: Mastered gyroscopes, space station twirls, self-siphoning inertia beads, and the iconic magic tablecloth pull! 🚀 Action & Reaction: Launched rockets, created air vortices with fog rings, and explored Newton's Laws of Motion in high-energy action. A massive thank you to Fizzics Education for such an interactive, high-energy, and memorable day of active learning! 👏

The War Memorial was such a special place to visit, where we could commemorate our soldiers who fought for Australia in many different wars. We saw some of the uniforms that soldiers wore, weapons they used and aircraft and boats they travelled in. We could have spent even more hours in there, we were so engaged. Parents and friends, be prepared to have students ask to come back and visit with the family!

Wow! Our Year 6 students represented St Mary MacKillop beautifully at the Parliament House. We started off our tour with a yummy frozen yoghurt followed by a guided walk and saw the House of Representatives and the House of Senate. We had such insightful questions that helped us deepen our knowledge of how parts of our government work. Time for lunch now and a bit of a play at the park with our friends before a drive down Anzac Parade and our final stop.. The War Memorial!

Next stop was Questacon! Year 6 had so much fun exploring the different scientific rooms with their friends. We even had some face their fears on the gravity drop! We finished off going to the Questacon shop to buy some cool things, of course squishies were the most popular choice. Off to our cabins now for a quick rest stop before we are back out and about to head to the AIS! So much fun still to be had! 🧪🧬 🤩
