Originating in the US, this game is a cross between boules and quoits and consists of trying to throw a bag of corn kernels through a hole on a raised board. All you need is a steady hand and nerves of steel. Year 6 had a go yesterday and we see an inter-house league coming up. Just watch out for ‘cornfusion’ (when players or teams can’t agree on the score of a particular inning).

Year 2 (and a few siblings) learned that we use salt to grit the roads in the colder months because it lowers the freezing temperature of water. We applied this knowledge to 'thread' ice cubes by laying string across an ice cube, pouring enough salt to melt the surface and then the string became trapped in the ice cube as the surface refroze. The children had a further challenge of making a necklace fit for a penguin. A very cool real-life application of science!
