ABSTRACT
Slowly the parachute descended, depositing Mrs Shah safely onto the floor. ‘Three whole seconds that time!’ announced Roulla as she stooped to pick up the little doll. Meanwhile Kathleen, Tom, Wayne and Aziza were planning a fair test to show whether their paper darts were improved when a small mass was attached. On the other side of the classroom Hsiao-chin was showing her group how to make a kite before they could go on to find out why it needed such a long tail. Sean and Darren were busily occupied on the carpet in the book corner, surrounded by books on air and flight. They appeared to be cutting pictures from magazines and sticking them into some of the books-with relish. By the window, Samina was quietly watering an unusual looking plant. Ms Abbott, the children’s teacher, was occupied with another group of children who were discussing the effects that aeroplanes had on their lives. There was certainly a lot of science going on in this classroom. Was any of it antiracist?
