Today we celebrated St Andrew’s day. We learned about St Andrew’s life and enjoyed listening to some Scottish music. We had our own little ceilidh.
Soaperheroes
Yesterday we had a chance to check how important it is to wash our hands properly. After rubbing some Bug Lotion on our hands, we have checked how germs would spread- our hands glowed under the UV light (nails were especially bad!). We then split into two groups to test what is more effective: washing hands with soap and water or hand sanitising. The results were clear… Wash your hands with soap and water whenever possible.
Some work so far
Science
During our Science lessons this term we looked into how natural resources and materials are being used and the importance of their conservation. We have discussed the impact of our actions on the environment and decided to make posters encouraging others to take different steps to help out planet.
This term, we also worked with magnets, investigating which objects are magnetic and how magnetic field works. We conducted a series of challenges to see how magnets exert a non-contact force and then designed, constructed and played our own games using magnets. It was lots of fun!
Next, we made mind maps of what Energy is and talked about different types of Energy. We talked about heat, sound, light and electrical energy and we are able to identify examples of different sources of energy.
Observing leaves
What a great day we spent observing the colour and texture of a variety of leaves. Carefully scrambling through the trees we spent time looking and focusing on the details of the leaves around us. We then used some of them to make some really interesting patterns before doing some beautiful leaf rubbings. Listen to the squeals of delight as we redistributed our collected leaves too!
