Science Show

Thomas was in a group with Ashlynn, Lilly and Basu.
They worked really well together and put on an entertaining and informative show about Forensic Science for the Wakari Junior School. They had to find out who stole the teddy bear? They used examples of fingerprinting, hair strand samples and footprint samples.
They had a great script and Thomas played his part very well, even with a case of strong nerves. He has learnt that he can push through his fears and feel extremely proud of himself based on the results at the show.
Well done team. Such a great effort and amazing teamwork.
