Teach me Tuesday Week 8

We love Teach me Tuesday- and today was no exception! 

We began with Rohan who taught us how to cook a simple but delicious pork and noodle stir fry. 
Our mouths were watering and everyone enjoyed eating the great dish!

Thanks Rohan.

Next, Amy showed us how to scare unsuspecting friends by creating fake blood with food colouring and dishwashing liquid. 

Next she impressed us with pretty cool science experiments including a moving milk and a coke and mentos experiment.



Teach Me Tuesday starts again in Term 2!

Teach Me Tuesday Week 6!

It was Teach me Tuesday again today. What a great session we had! Micaela, Eddy and Jaxson were well organised and expertly taught us about there chosen subjects. The boys had us doing soccer drills including dribbling, passing and shooting. Next, Micaela lead several science experiments where we learnt about chemical change and centipetal force! Thanks teachers- you were awesome. We can't wait till next "Teach me Tuesday!"
