Good morning everyone I hope you are all feeling great today. It’s almost the weekend again and we’ve worked really hard this week, well done everyone. Our story today is The First Snow
Have you ever wondered how to make a snowstorm? Let’s try.
You will need
A clear glass jar
Baby oil
Glitter
White paint
Alka seltzer
Fill the jar about 2/3 full with baby oil, in a jug mix a small squirt of white paint to ¼ cup water then stir. Pour the mixture into the jar (don’t fill it to the top). Add some glitter (coloured glitter if you like, but just a little). Break up the Alka Seltzer tablet into small pieces, drop two or three pieces into the jar. Then watch what happens; the white water bubbles up through the baby oil making a little snowstorm in a jar. Each time you add a piece of Alka Seltzer it lasts about 45 seconds.
This is the link to show you how it will look when it’s made.
Here is a great interactive game which will help us name and match our shapes.
