This year’s athletics day at SPS allowed all SPS’ers to shine brightly as they all got to show off their enthusiasm and talent.



Students participated in the 100, 200 and 400 metre sprints, as well as events including shot put and discus. The students learnt that participating and giving their best was what makes a true champion.

ROOM 18:
Science 2014




A sunny scientific experiment
The young scientists of Room 18 are continuing their awesome scientific investigation by finding out what is Sunsmart and how this affects them and those around them.



The students have been finding out about the sun, heat energy. To do this they have been conducting experiments such as placing cans coated in different coloured paper in the sun and measuring the water temperature before and after.

The students are beginning to use the scientific method to further understand the scientific process and see how they can investigate the world around them.

Science is simply away to understand the world around them and solve any problem.
