Science Week

On Thursday 13th March, Year 5 went to Rayner Stevens science lab and did an experiment called ‘Lemon Volcanoes.’ The Citric Acid in the lemon reacted with the Bicarbonate of Soda to make the lemon erupt like a volcano. It became all foamy and frothy and we used food colouring to make it look colourful. We also learnt some new key vocabulary and wrote the investigation up. We used: a lemon, a plastic knife, a tray, a lollypop stick, a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, food colouring and fairy liquid. It was such a fun day and we enjoyed it very much.


Science Experiment entries

 

Well done to all the children who entered the Science Homework Experiment! The quality of the children’s work is fantastic and they all delivered their work with such enthusiasm, it was lovely to see! Every child got chance to present their investigation using scientific vocabulary and discuss their conclusion/results. Well done guys! They are all amazing!

World Book Day

 

Look at our fabulous World Book Day costumes! Can you name any of the characters/books you can see? We also had the privilege of meeting Author ‘Michael Thame’ who has written books about World War Two from his Great Grandad ‘Tom’ experience.  We got to ask lots of questions and discuss his books/experience with us. We have discussed our favourite books/characters and we will be making our own books marks and designing a new front cover for our class book.
