We celebrated our love of stories by dressing up as some of our favourite characters. We also invited our parents into school to snuggle up with a good book. We shared some of our favourite stories and shared a hot chocolate.

Class 3 have enjoyed learning about money and giving change.

We are currently enjoying learning about Tutankhamun! We worked together to group our information around a theme about his life.

To continue or practical enquiries, we carried out a carousel of activities to:

• see how water can change from liquid to gas, then back again, using steam from a kettle
• ice (a solid) can be turned to liquid by heating it up
• see how salt causes ice to melt quicker
• explain the terms evaporation, condensation, melting, vapour

We learned that salt does not heat up the ice. To demonstrate how the ice melts quickly by adding salt, we learned about chemical reactions. The boys huddled together representing the particles in ice, staying close together as they would be in a solid. The girls then pushed their way into the solid mass, breaking up the boys’ structure and , causing particles to breakdown and move more freely, making a liquid. This is why we put ice on roads in Winter.

No particles were injured during the enquiries!
