Science fair
Volcanoes, bottle rockets and one very curious frog
Our Junior Science Fair turned the hall into a happy, slightly chaotic laboratory — and proved that curiosity is the best teacher of all.
For one glorious afternoon, the school hall became a laboratory. There were erupting volcanoes, bottle rockets that flew further than anyone predicted, and a frog named Professor Hopkins who became the surprise star of the day.
What we love about the science fair is not the spectacle — it is the thinking. Every project started with a child asking a real question, then daring to find out the answer for themselves.
Science you do, not science you’re told
Discovery science at Santo Yoseph follows a simple loop: question, predict, get messy, explain. When children test their own ideas and sometimes get it wrong, the learning sticks — because it mattered to them.
Our thanks to the families who supplied an alarming quantity of baking soda, and to Professor Hopkins, who has been safely returned to the school garden.
