This week he had a visit from the Irvine Royal Academy science department.  We tried  lots of different activities including making a lava lamp, standing inside a bubble, understanding magnets, making our own fire extinguisher, mixing up coloured goo, using static electricity to stop water running, using our fine motor skills to navigate round the bell wire, playing a tune using glass water beakers and watching bath bombs magically disappear.  And in the afternoon we had our own Haysholm science carousel within our classes.  We tried making rain clouds, making sensory paint bags, planting a sunflower seed, hot air ping pong balls and transferring sand to different sized containers.  Everyone really enjoyed the day and we look forward to the next time.
