You may wonder what are these mysterious products? They are the masterpieces of Grade 6 students created in their Science lesson. The purpose of this project is for students to understand biodiversity deeper through making recycled birdhouses that attract living things.
SHARING FROM SNA PARENT | MRS. KO EUN KYUNG
When I first visited the school, which I had known through a lot of research and through acquaintances, the spacious facilities and the learning environment here were the 2 main things that captured my heart. In addition, the teachers and staff treated me very kindly. They all have great qualifications and characteristics, which makes me trust them to take care of my child’s education.

UNDERSTANDING THE EFFECTS OF FRICTION
What you are seeing in the pictures is students of Grade 6 learning about the effects of friction. Friction is something we experience everyday, but understanding it, let alone explaining it, gets tricky. Therefore, various forms of experiments are conducted and guided by experienced teachers at SNA, to help teach the concept of friction and make it easier for our students to understand.
A FUN & HANDS-ON SCIENCE EXPERIMENT OF GRADE 8
During the Science lesson for Grade 8 last month, students examined the physical and chemical changes by conducting different chemical reactions in SNA’s very own Bio-Chemistry Lab. At SNA, along with theoretical lessons, practical and hands-on experiments/activities are always integrated into the IB programmes regularly and throughout the school year.
PYP EXHIBITION | SNA 360°

WHAT CAN WE DO TO SUBSTITUTE PLASTIC BAGS?
For the past 3 months, the Grade 8A1 students have been developing an environment-targeted project. The main purpose of the project is to substitute plastic bags which can decompose into microplastic, threatening millions of sea creatures. SNA students came up with a solution of using fabric tote bags decorated with meaningful messages about protecting the environment.
