They make natural fertilizer from animal waste, dried leaves
and grass. It is safe and eco friendly.

You're a baaad bunch of kids!

An Inquiry Into The Rainforest

This tree is so tall and must be very old.

At Kebun Raya we can see a giant lilypad.

This is a group of pine trees.

These pine trees come from around the world.

This monument is a recognition to the first
Palm Oil Tree that was brought to
 Indonesia a long time ago.

This kapok tree is gigantic. 




This is a fruit bat that you can find in Kebun Raya.


This is one kind of flower that grows in Kebun Raya.

This is a session about why it is important to save the rainforest
because people are cutting down the rainforest a lot.

In this session, we learned that nothing is black or white,
which means something good on the other hand can be bad .

We are presenting our brochure at the Friday Assembly.

Collaboration is an important aspect of learning.

 
We designed and drew an imaginary island called Disaster Island.
Much of our work centred around this in the last part of the year.



Our Electric Science Project

We are working on the lighthouse circuit. We are trying to make the bulb work.

Mr. Jim explaining how to make a circuit with two wires.




It is not easy to make an electrical switch. We
 have to use an insulator to block the electricity.


This is a drawing of a switch; the working one.


We are constructing a lighthouse for our project.

Making a lighthouse building is easy, but making the switch is difficult.

We designed a lighthouse with scissors, cardboard, ruler,  batteries and wires.


At the Share Time we are talking about the insulator and
 conductor. The insulator is something that will make the electricity stop.
The conductor is something that will make the electricity move.
