Science Week 10th - 14th November

14/11/2014

 

This year the theme for science week was, 'The Power Of Science'.

We investigated the power of chemicals by soaking an egg in vinegar. We predicted what might happen to the egg shell. After one day the hard egg shell turned soft and squishy like jelly.

We learned about the power of pressure with this can flip experiment! This shows us the pressure that airplanes use when taking off.

We explored the power of motion with this marble experiment. When a marble collides with a stationary marble the energy is transferred to the second marble.

Sarah came in to talk to the children about her work as a forensic scientist. Sarah said that a good scientist always asks lots of questions. She was very impressed with all the children who asked lots of interesting questions about examining clues from a crime scene. Sarah uses a microscope to examine DNA samples. She showed us a great powder analysis experiment. I think we may have a few future scientists in room 2a.

Maths - angles

7/11/2014

 
In maths today we were learning about angles and right angles. We looked for right angles in our classroom and around the school. A right angle is a quarter turn. It reminds us of the shape of the letter L.

WWI in Belgium

5/11/2014

 

Hannah was telling us about her trip to Belgium to visit Flanders Field where her great grand uncle died in world war 1. One of my favourite stories she told was about the butterfly who flies around the names of all the soldiers who died. The butterfly is said to be their sergeant.
