We have been learning about food chains.

A food chain shows what animal eats what. We had some interesting discussions about this and we were able to trace back the energy we get from eating food to the sun. It also showed us how animals depend on each other to survive. We also discovered that we are all omnivores! Unlike a lion that is a carnivore and a cow that is a herbivore.

Tomorrow we are conducting an experiment to find out which materials dissolve in water.

We used the picture below to discuss what the children think happens to the sand on the beach and this made us think about things that dissolve in water and what the word ‘dissolving’ means. We had some very scientific discussions about the difference between melting, dissolving and disappearing. For example, where does the sugar go when you add it to a cup of tea? We are going to test lots of different materials to see which

materials dissolve and which don’t.

Photos to follow!
