Self-isolation means staying indoors and completely avoiding contact with other people. This includes other people who live in the same house as your child, as much as possible. Self-isolation is for children who have had a test that shows they have COVID-19 and also for children who have some symptoms of COVID-19, but are still waiting for a test or test result.

Restricting movement is for people who do not have signs of COVID-19 but who may be at higher risk of getting COVID-19 because they were exposed to a particular risk.

Science Week 2021

For G5’s next eggs-periment, the class tested the effect of various beverages on our teeth. As egg shells are similar to the enamel in our teeth we used eggs to test the beverages.

We made predictions on which beverage would cause the most damage and there were some surprising results.IMG_20211112_121011 IMG_20211112_121021 IMG_20211112_121031 IMG_20211112_121309 IMG_20211112_121513 IMG_20211112_121528 IMG_20211112_121704 IMG_20211112_121832 IMG_20211112_122026 IMG_20211123_223912 IMG_20211116_153206 IMG_20211116_153212 IMG_20211116_153256 IMG_20211116_153311 IMG_20211116_153343 IMG_20211116_153400

Science Week 2021

For Science week 2021, G5 had a look at some experiments in relation to health and hygiene.

First, we discussed the need for hand hygiene in today’s world. We used bread to find out what was best to keep our hands clean. We also made predictions on which slice of bread would develop mould first. Our test pieces included a fresh untouched slice of bread, a slice that was handled by unwashed hands, sanitised hands and hands washed with soap and water. We also rubbed one slice of bread on a table to discover how bacteria spreads.

Here are the results.
