Throughout the day the boys were involved in manyhands on experiments to learn how things work. Some of the favourites included the spinning chair, testing how fast you canthrow a ball, and racing against a professional athlete in a running race. Keen to test their skills at everything they learnt a greatdeal about how we use energy and the effects of force and motion in everyday life. These were great supplements to our unit ofwork this term, “Smooth Moves” where we have been looking at this in great detail. Check out the pictures of the day and you’llsee all the boys had a great time!CongratulationsWell done Alexander Jacobson-Jones for receiving a Highly Commended for Instrumental Solo-Consolation in the 10 to 12 yearssection at the Ipswich Junior Eisteddfod.Junior School: 3813 9630 - Absentees: 3813 9666 - Junior School Fax: 3280 1384 - BASC: 0439 077 650sperrem@ipswichgrammar.com - dmacknish@ipswichgrammar.com - basc@ipswichgrammar.com
