We have had an incredibly busy week following the Beast From the East last week!
We have now ended our time looking at capacity, but agreed that the final lesson of exploring different ways of using ml was fun!
We made estimations as to how many ml were in a container and then had to prove it. We ended up slightly soggy but enjoyed the investigation.
We had Science Day on Thursday, and used this time to visit other classes to see what investigations had been going on in the school. We were the experts on the ingredients needed to erupt a volcano and passed this information on to the other children, with our reasons why. For anyone wanting to recreate this experiment-all you need is washing up liquid, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and a mint!
We thought that the sugar in the mint had maybe reacted with the acid in the vinegar, which formed our evaluation.
We have today had World Book Day and our costumes were amazing! We looked at the poem ‘These old shoes’ by Tony Mitton and thought about items of clothing that really mean something to us also. Some children had a go at writing their own poem and we read out our favourites in front of the class.
We look forward to another busy week next week!
