Last week, our Grade 4 scientists took on a hands-on challenge to explore how bones, joints, and muscles work together to move our bodies. Their task? To build a working model of a human arm—without any help from the teacher!

Students had to rely on their classmates for support, which encouraged:

• 🤝 Collaboration
• 🧠 Problem-solving
• 🗣️ Communication
• 🌟 Leadership

Using materials like straws, string, tape, and cardboard, each group designed and assembled a model that mimicked how muscles pull on bones to create movement at the joints. The results were impressive! Some arms could bend at the elbow, others could lift small objects, and all showed a clear understanding of how our bodies function.

This activity wasn’t just about science—it was about learning how to work together, share ideas, and overcome challenges as a team. It was inspiring to see students take initiative, ask thoughtful questions, and support one another throughout the process.

We’re proud of their creativity and teamwork—and we can’t wait to see what they build next!

Recently, our Grade 5 students enjoyed an exciting day out with a visit to the Science Museum in Bangkok, followed by an afternoon at Dream World theme park.

Morning at the Science Museum

Students explored fascinating exhibits and took part in hands-on activities. The highlight was a hydrogen balloon experiment, where they learned how hydrogen is lighter than air and saw a safe, controlled balloon explosion that amazed everyone!

Afternoon at Dream World

After a morning of discovery, it was time for pure fun at Dream World. Students enjoyed the rides, explored the park, and made plenty of memories with their friends and teachers.

A Day to Remember

The trip perfectly balanced learning and enjoyment, giving students the chance to discover new ideas and bond outside the classroom. A big thank you to the teachers, staff, and parents who made it possible!

Today, our Science Lab turned into a taste-testing adventure! The boys wore their masks as blindfolds — no peeking allowed — and bravely sampled mystery foods. Using only their super taste buds, they guessed the food, wrote it down, and drew a picture of what they imagined they had eaten.

At the end, the teacher revealed each mystery food, sparkling smiles, surprises, and a few proud “I knew it!” moments.

This was a fun (and tasty!) way to learn about the amazing sense of taste! 🍓🍋🍫

Grade 4 students at BCC have been learning about plant parts and what they do. As part of the unit, they went outside to explore the school campus and look at different leaves and plants.

They wrote down what they saw—like the shape, size, and color of leaves—and talked about how each part of a plant helps it grow and stay healthy.

It was a fun way to learn science by seeing real plants up close!
