Science in Action

 Each week we get a science kit with all sorts of scientific activities and experiments. This week's topic was nano technology. We made flubber by combining solids and liquids. 

It was just like magic- only it wasn't; it was science!

Owl Babies

This week we heard a story about owl babies. We used paint and coloured paper to make our own owl babies... 

Little Helpers

 

We love the autumn leaves. We looked at all the different shapes and chose 1 leaf to do a leaf rubbing with. In this video we are helping Mr Griffiths collect the leaves from outside Room 14.

Helicopters and hedgehogs

 H week in Room 14.

We listened very carefully to make these helicopters. We found out that helicopters can be used to help people. We watched people being rescued and fires being put out.

We used paint and forks to make our hedgehogs look prickly and autumn leaves for them to look under. They look for insects and other creepy crawlies to eat.

....and this week we also made Mother's Day cards. They look stunning!

Introducing the Beebots and Computational Thinking

 For the last few weeks we have been practising drawing arrows for a very important reason.... so we can programme the beebots!

We have to make a programme for the robots using forward, backward, turn left and turn right commands. We plan our programme on our whiteboards and them input it into our beebots

We were so excited to see our beebots in action. What a way to finish Term 1 2021!

Blowing Bubbles

 We made bubble mixtures in groups. Then we tested to see which detergent made the best bubbles. 

After lots of testing, most of us thought the yellow detergent was the best.

Our Butterflies are off

Jack J gave us a swan plant with cocoons and caterpillars. 

We have watched the caterpillars grow bigger, make cocoons, and change into ...... butterflies. We put them out in the garden under a net to keep them safe until their wings were dry enough to fly.
