Science

P6a used their observational skills to check for any changes in their science experiment. They used the microscopes to observe a selection of cells to become familiar with the equipment and analysing slides before looking at the bacteria once it has bred.

They have some new hand washing posters with lyrics to their favourite songs to help them wash their hands for long enough.

Breeding Bacteria

Pupils have been learning about bacteria and germs and participated in an experiment to assess the effects of a variety of conditions on bacteria growth. Underpinning this experiment was the importance of washing your hands. They used bread as a visual stimulus for this experiment.

Children will monitor and record the difference in bacteria growth over the next two weeks.
