This week we have been researching Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot.\u00a0 We created our own bonfires using a technique called blow-painting and shall finish them next week with the addition of real twigs and a sprinkle of gold glitter.\u00a0 We also created fireworks in milk, using food colouring and fairy liquid.\u00a0 This was a fabulous experiment which investigated the impact of soap molecules on the fatty globules present in milk.\u00a0 Finally, we attempted to create the Houses of Parliament with Kapla blocks, which made for some interesting and varied results!\u00a0 These three activities have helped build on meta-skills including collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.<\/p>\n
