Friendly Bacteria

Micro-organisms are small (very small) living organisms that like the same things as we do: oxygen, moisture, food and an even temperature. Micro-organisms exist everywhere: some are harmful and even dangerous, some cause no problems and even help us (for instance in our digestive tracts).
We were looking at ‘friendly’ bacteria like yogurt and yeast. We investigated the effect of yeast when making bread. We made 6 different sets of bread rolls – ranging from having no yeast to too much yeast – and observed the effect. As you can see, the amount of yeast made a significant difference.

As part of our technology this term Grade 6 are building rotating fairground rides; some are based on carousels (horizontal rotation) and some on ferris wheels (vertical rotation). The objective was to make our rides rotate using cogs, pulleys, motors and batteries.

Grade 6 may be the smallest class in the school but we are already making a big impression.
The example we set every day demonstrates what we at Provo Primary School expects of our pupils. We are superb ‘role models‘.
