This week it has been science week,we have done a number of scientific experiments including seeing and holding African animals in the music room like snakes(which most of the children put around their necks or touched them).One of the cutest animals there was a baby meerkat,unfortunately we did not allowed to hold him but we were allowed to stroke him and if you held out your finger he nibbled it that we got to see on Monday.
On Tuesday, year 4 went outside onto our school field to see that there was a large amount of experimental equipment including balloons,sparkling water,lemonade,popping candy and some medicine tablets.We used them to try and make the ballon blow up.It took us a long time but we finally managed to find a way to do it.We also did an experiment with skittles where we put 4-5 in a bowl in a pattern,whilst pouring water inside of the bowl. We then waited for the water to change colour of the skittles we used. We also did a liquorice classification key using questions about the liquorice we chose.
On Wednesday we went to the art room where the reception children were waiting for us. We got into partners and went with two partners in reception.We helped them with experiments.We did all sorts of different experiments such as dipping a ping-pong ball in water and getting a meatal stick and hitting the stick on the table and then we touch the stick to the ball and it made the ball bounce from vibration.
On Thursday we did the most exciting thing yet people from The Detective project we did a lot of exciting experiment such as finding finger prints.We helped find the culprit of smashing the Ming Vase.
It has been a very exciting week in Year 4.We hope you enjoyed!
