Week 7

Hi Everyone,

We all hope that you have enjoyed the sunshine that we have been having this week......we have.
It is so good to be able to get outside and play.

It was science time again.
This is what Aaron's chose.......

Discovering what sort of objects absorb water

We all had our own materials to try an see what ones absorbed water and those that didn't.

They were wood, tin foil, cardboard, plastic, an ice cream cone, paper towel and a glossy magazine page.

The wood absorbed the water..we thought that it would only wet the outside of the wood but it didn't...it went right through

We thought that the water would run off the glossy paper but it didn't

We were right about the ice cream cone...it got very soggy when we put water over it.

Did you know that objects absorb water are called porous.

                             That means that they have lots of tiny holes in which liquid or                                                 air can pass through.     

Today it was Aieshar's turn to be Chef Of The Day.

She chose fried rice.

Some of weren't very happy with her choice but the rest of us thought it was absolutely delicious .

Thanks Aieshar!

Chopping the onion...

Oil in the wok...

Have a superb weekend everyone!

Week 5

Greetings from all of us here at the Afternoon Programme.

This week we put on on our labs coats again and did an experiment that Aieshar chose.

It was called Invisible Ink.
We had to squeeze a lemon to get the juice from it.
Then we dipped cotton buds in the juice to make a message or a pattern.
When the juice dried we put an iron on it to reveal the picture.
Mmmm ....it didn't work so what should we do?
Since we are scientists we thought what would they do?
Yes...try again and thats what we did.
Sadly we didn't get the result that we thought we would.
We wondered what we could do differently if we tried this experiment again.

Paul came in to see us on Tuesday .
We had a fabulous afternoon making origami.
Ryan had done origami before...he showed us how to make flowers.

Mrs Coleman came in and tried to fly the planes that we had made....keep on trying Mrs Coleman!!

 Noodle Day!

Chef Jasiah chose noodles .

They were so delicious and very easy to make.

Noodles are very hard to eat when they are hot!

Have you played Jenga before?

We played it this afternoon and we had such fun.

We all helped each other out with words off advise of which one to take out.

                 We hope that you all have a safe and happy long weekend.
