Children from Harlaw Academy came to Broomhill School to do some games with us. We played football dribbling, basketball shooting, hockey dribbling and bouncing a tennis ball on a plastic racket while walking round cones. They were training for doing other activities. My favourite game was the football dribbling because my favourite sport is football. The games were really fun and I enjoyed all of them and I think are whole class enjoyed it as well. They came for an hour to play the games. They are coming for the next four weeks to play different games with us. I cant wait in till they come back.

On Wednesday 3^rd of February we did an experiment, looking at the reaction between some chemicals. The ingredients we used are Hydrogen peroxide ,yeast , warm water , fairy liquid ,canisters ,goggles and cups.

We are going to explain it step by step if you want to do it at home.

Step 1: Pour the hydrogen peroxide in to the canister.

Step 2: Squeeze the fairy liquid/soap (it will work with either) put it in the canister and then mix it together.

Step 3: put the warm water into the cup and pour in the yeast and mix it (for 30 seconds )until it is dissolved.

Step 4: We put the warm water with the yeast in it into the canister with the hydrogen peroxide and then watched the results.

What happens is that the yeast breaks down the hydrogen peroxide into oxygen which then is released and because of the fairy liquid is turned into bubbles.  As the reaction happens so quickly it releases heat. This is called an exothermic reaction.
