We have been busy researching rainforests; each group chose a continent to learn about. We then used this to create information texts, and to make a salt-dough map of Earth.
In Maths we have been learning to use column division!
Year 5 and 6 children have been very inventive in their games this week in the wooded area on the field and creating obstacle course on the playground. They have also enjoyed some fab football games too.
The children had a fabulous day celebrating St. Dwynwen’s Day. They listened carefully to the story and then they used their reading skills to follow instructions to make their own heart shaped biscuits. Miss Love and Mrs Wood were really impressed by how well the groups worked together to share the doing each of the instructions.
We soaked 5 eggs in vinegar, cola, water, coffee and the final egg was half soaked in coffee and toothpaste.
After 2 days, the eggs in coffee and cola stained the egg shell and stuck to the surface. This bacteria then breaks down the sugar to make acid which can damage teeth.
We found our toothpaste covered egg stained less than the non toothpaste covered egg.
The vinegar completely dissolved the eggshell, leaving just the membrane behind.
