WOW! Science Day

We had a very exciting science day today. There was lots of 'WOWs' throughout the day. All the Infant classes were mixed up, and then experienced four different science investigations, all based around the theme of water. There was lots of learning, lots of fun, and lots of mess!

Following the science, some of the children wrote recounts, and some wrote poetry.

Ryan, in Year 1, wrote a very detailed recount of the day, using lots of science words....

First I raced liquids down the board then I learnt a new word called viscous. Second I went to Blue class and went outside to blow bubbles and I learned if you make a square shape (wand), it still makes a sphere shape. Third I went to the tardis and I learnt a new word called vibration. Forth I went to Purple class and I learnt that salt and water melted the ice cubes.'

First I went to Purple class and we had a big ice cube and a little man was stuck in the ice and we had to pour water on the ice cube. Second we sorted some liquids and I learnt a new word and it is viscous. Third I went to Mrs Taylor and I learnt about music and we had to make a guitar. We went to Miss Proctor and we did bubbles.

Bubble, Bubble by Haydn
Bubbles popping, bubbles flying,
Beautiful colours on the bubbles,
Tiny bubbles, massive bubbles,
Floating in the air.
Pink, blue, purple, green,
Bubbles dropping to the ground.
Children spinning, children twirling,
Enormous bubbles everywhere.

Green, blue, pink, yellow, orange,
Bubbles all over the playground.
Enormous bubbles floating in the sky,
Tiny bubbles dropping to the ground,
Lovely reflections in the bubbles.
Children twirling, children spinning,
Children running everywhere.
