Materials

2nd class looked at materials by making their own slime. They followed the instructions to get the right consistency. They had so much fun and got to play with it afterwards. 

Marbling ​
After learning about different woodland creatures in the super furry animals presentation, 4th class used them as inspiration. They completed an art lesson looking at marbling, using marbling ink in water and look at the science behind it-the paints float on the water as they are less dense that the water. The children created their own designs. Then, they drew their own woodland silhouette and attached it on to marbling art piece. They were all very impressed with how their art turned out.

Floating and Sinking
2nd Class investigated the floating and sinking properties of different objects in water. 

Materials-Clothes

4th Class learned all about Fabrics-how they are manufactured, the different properties of fabrics such as wool, nylon etc., and looked at which clothes were good insulators. They were then given the task of creating an outfit from a time period of their choice. They researched this on IPADS and started working on their creations. They were all very happy with the finished products.

3rd Class
3rd Class learned about mixtures in class and even learned how to make their own butter by pouring a carton of double cream into a jar, putting the lid on tight and shaking it vigorouly. After a while they could see the solid butter forming.

See the butter making in action :)
