Projects
Growing Crystals
I noticed while we were using salt or sugar we would
end up with different products. It was a very fun
experience watching the crystals grow. They were
all different to each other and I noticed that the salt
crystals formed quicker than the sugar crystals.

Rain Gauge Project
First, we had to get a 2 litre bottle. We then cut off
the top. After which, we got masking tape and wrote
measurements in millimetres and centimetres. Lastly,
we went on an awesome trip to collect stones in the
rose garden.
Looking for the stones to weigh the rain gauge down
was a very fun experience. If they were dirty, we got to
clean them – in the bird bath!
I really enjoyed going out every day (no matter what
the weather was) to measure how much rain fell each
day. When it rained we got soaked (eek!), but it was
a lot of fun.
It was a very educational and enjoyable experience!

Democracy and Citizenship
In History, we learnt about democracy and
citizenship in South Africa. We enjoyed learning
about apartheid and how democracy was
implemented in South Africa. Democracy taught
us that regardless of what race, gender or religion
you are, we all share the same love and affection
for our country and its people.
