This week we have been focussing on Science.\u00a0 We have explored forces, and looked at buoyancy.\u00a0 We completed experiments on floating and sinking, making predictions and then comparing materials to work out what affects if something floats or sinks.\u00a0 \u00a0Then we applied that knowledge to make boats to be as buoyant as possible while exerting a force (Marvel characters!)<\/p>\n

This week we have been learning about floating and sinking. sometimes it’s because of how big it is. (Y)<\/em><\/p>\n

We had to choose one things we thought would float and sink and check if we were right (A)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We tested cans to see if they would float and sink.\u00a0 The ones with the highest density sunk.\u00a0 That was about the sugar levels. (S)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We made tin foil boats and we had to try and make it so that 24 Marvel figures would fit on it. the ones that were more successful had a wider surface area (S)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the Science Centre we got our first taste of the science of castles at the Castles Rock! show.\u00a0 It will be part of our learning for the next few weeks. Lots of the activities we did included forces!<\/p>\n

On Thursday we went to the Science Centre and we explored lots of different stuff.\u00a0 My favourite part was the upside down house (I).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I tried s<\/em>o<\/em>me stuff and I really liked when we built the Lego around the water (M)<\/em><\/p>\n

I liked pumping the water with the lego and seeing how much water the dam would support (F)<\/em><\/p>\n

I liked the spinning cars that you powered by spinning the wheel to move it. My friend got the top score! (F).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We played an air hockey game with four sides. It was harder because it kept hitting off the table.\u00a0 (H)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My favourite part was between how fast you can run or the hanging bars (A)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My favourite part was the game where you had to hit the germs before the get inside your nose. I got the top score of 35 (L)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We played a game with arrow buttons and make the snake eat the apple. We got 4th place! It was about teamwork. (J)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We watched a show on Castles Rock! we learned if there was a hole in the brick then water gets in and it would break the castle apart.\u00a0 If you put moss on it then it stops the water and it doesn’t break it (A).<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
