What a fantastic time Room 2 had at Brighton Beach for beach ed with the Surf Life saver instructors.
We learnt a lot about being safe at the beach and in the water.
We learnt all about the different jobs surf life savers have to do!
Our favourite moments were - building sandcastles, pretending to be surf life savers, swimming & playing in the water.
It was a gorgeous sunny day - we can't wait to do it all again one day!!!

Georgia Baines shared her science news with us - with her special helper: Mr Andrew Baines!
They showed us an awesome experiment using vinegar & baking soda.
We discovered that when you mix the baking soda & vinegar together in an empty film canister and put the lid on . . . it makes the film canister shoots high up into the air!!!

Thanks so much Georgia & Andrew!!!
