Hi, Everyone.
This week is British Science Week 2021! Science Week is celebrated every year in Willowbank so we thought it would be fun to bring Science Week to you guys at home! Below is a list of science-themed activities you could take part in if you wish. As always, only do what you can. Take care! (Feel free to send any photos to willowbank@eastayrshire.org.uk)
Literacy
Here is a link to a story that is read by one of the great minds of British science – Sir David Attenborough. The story tells us about a journey he made to explore Gorillas in their natural habitat – the jungle!
Your challenge is to explore Jungle animals just like David Attenborough!
On Twinkl Go! There is also a jungle-themed playdough recipe, why not make this and use it make the letter shapes of each animal? E.g. T for Tiger, P for Parrot etc. Your Twinkl Go! passcode is LW6528
