P1 had an amazing time this afternoon when taking part in a science experiment, making butter. The children guessed how they could make the butter, some predictions were:

  • using milk and flour then cook
  • salt in a tub and shake it
  • putting cheese in the oven for 5 minutes

In two groups, pupils were given tubs with double cream which they had to shake as much as they could. This allowed the fat molecules to clump together and create butter and buttermilk. We put the butter in the fridge for 20 minutes and when it was ready, enjoyed it spread on a pancake.

We have been doing science experiments to learn about the stages of The Water Cycle. Today was cloud busting day!

We learned what happens in the clouds during the water cycle. When too many water droplets accumulate, they fall in the form of PRECIPITATION. We were amazed at how many drops it took to burst our clouds. Our predictions were way off.

Great fun had by all and super learning too.

To complete this part of our Science topic , the children were given a design brief and they worked so well  in trios to produce their Water Cycle Posters.

They will be using these to present what they have learned to a younger class.

I was most impressed by their creativity and their care to meet all 5 design features listed on the brief cards.

Amazing work P4!

We have been doing lots of science experiments to learn about the stages of The Water Cycle. Today was cloud busting day!

We learned what happens in the clouds during the water cycle. When too many water droplets accumulate, they fall in the form of PRECIPITATION. We were amazed at how many drops it took to burst our clouds. Our predictions were way off.

We discussed how temperature affects the form of precipitation too. (rain, hail, sleet and snow)

Great fun had by all and super learning too.
