I couldn’t be more proud of the children in 4G! They have worked so incredibly hard in preparation for their science fair, and today they really pulled it off.

All around the room, I could hear and see everyone sharing their learning with all the parents. There were experiments and demonstrations, and above all fantastic scientific knowledge.

Our parents and carers were great and were asking challenging questions of the children – which they handled so well.

The children showed such character and it was lovely to see children being pushed out of their comfort zone and talking to adults.

Above all, this came from the children – they shared their interest, what they have been inspired by and gave it 100%. The amount of incredible work completed at home was testament to how much they wanted to show what they knew.

The classroom was buzzing and so was I!

Well done 4G, you did an incredible job!

And now on to our next expedition!!

We really are getting excited for our Science Fair on Friday.

I have been so impressed with everyone has worked on their projects, working at home to prepare resources and collaborating so well in class, writing scripts and practising presentations.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow afternoon, to see how everyone brings their learning to life and hope our parents and carers will too.

Last week, we learnt about teeth! We brushed our teeth and then used disclosing tablets to show what we missed. We had super clean teeth by the end of the day!

We have been scientists this week!

First, we investigated how to look after our teeth:

We looked at the results of the egg experiment we started before half term. We placed eggs into different liquids ( water; orange juice; cola; energy drink and vinegar ) to represent the sugars and acids in the foods and drinks we consume. Our results we amazing – the energy drink’s shell had become a powdery crust and the shell of the vinegar egg completely dissolved, turning the white of the egg completely solid and making the egg resemble a bouncy ball. This showed us that sugars and acids have a negative effect on our teeth.

Building on the experiment, we then looked at how well we clean our teeth, by using disclosing tablets to highlight areas of our teeth we might miss when brushing. We had some very sparkly teeth at the end of that session.

Finally, after learning about the digestive system, we created ‘poo’ in the classroom! Using biscuits, banana and orange juice, a long tube, a funnel, a pair of tights and a knife and fork, we recreated the mechanical process of how we digest our food. We had a gross alert and a few couldn’t watch – but we did have fun!
