Science Week - 4th - 7th May 2021
We have all had a fabulous time exploring different aspects of science - ask your children what they have enjoyed most.
Foundation - explored what happens when you add minto's to cola, magnets and making rainbows from sweets.
Year 1 - tested different materials to make a boat that had to float for 10 seconds; added food coloring to flowers in water to see how water travels through the flower; had a fabulous time on our filed collecting materials and making bug hotels for our wild area at the bottom of the field.
Year 2 - investigated changes in materials using gummy bears and placing them in different solutions as well as testing predictions...it was very surprising!!
Year 3 Each class has a Venus Flytrap and they have been investigating how to take care of it....one has been named Alan and the other is called Mr Venus!
Year 4 have been investigating states of matter- what materials can a dragons breathe melt!
Year 5 have investigated the phases of the moon using Oreo biscuits... then made gyrocopters to develop a safe parachute for a rocket for their space topic.
Year 6 have been investigating the Human body - they have made blood using very creative ingredients and provided responses to improve someones lifestyle in an agony aunt style.
We will publish pictures on Twitter - enjoy!!
