Today at Science Club, we were making Water Beasties. We learned that water has a skin and we could float our Beasties on top. Sometimes they sank though! This was because they were made from paper. Amy’s Beastie had little feet and so she sank. Amy Mcdougall’s Beastie sank because she did the splits. Josie accidently knocked hers over and she ended up taking a bath! Ellie’s Beastie lost two legs! Sam and Brandon’s Beastie’s floated until the paper absorbed too much water. Well done!!!

Today was the last Science Club and all the boys and girls thought it was ‘minted!’

P3/4 took advantage of the lovely weather yesterday and took their spelling outside. Children practised writing their spelling words with chalk out on the playground. They drew spelling flowers and pictures to match their spelling words. The children shared their learning, with other classes, during their break.

Today in Science Club we were making potions and exploring chemical reactions. First we put vinegar in a jar. Then we added  food colouring and  stars. We added a squeeze of washing up liquid and finally we added the baking soda. The vinegar and the soda mixed together and made a gas. The gas made washing up liquid bubble up. Our potions erupted like a volcano.

Jake said ” It was minted!”

A big thumbs up for Science Club today. Stay tuned for more updates on Science Club!!!!
