We explored magnets, magnetism, the poles of a magnet and how they are used every day and the force of attraction or how they can repel.

Exploring, learning and reinforcing times tables with Numicon.
We explored buoyancy and items that would float or sink. We discussed what the items were made of and why they were more likely to float or sink.
Today we were exploring foods that are healthy and unhealthy. We identified which ones we should have more or less of and chose foods that could be a healthy lunch choice. We discussed the impact of choosing too many unhealthy foods and why they are unhealthy.
