Creating chemical reactions!

For Science Week 2024, Class 2 were exploring what happens when we mix vinegar with bicarbonate of soda. We used red and yellow food colouring to dye our mixture to make it look like lava erupting from a volcano. We then put some bicarbonate of soda into a balloon, tied the balloon to the top of a bottle filled with vinegar and emptied the soda from the balloon into the bottle. The children were amazed at how the balloon started to inflate!

Making disgusting sandwiches

Class 2 have been learning the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch in English where Mrs Grinling makes sandwiches filled with hot mustard to scare away the pesky seagulls that are after the lunch! As the hook for our next piece of work, the children have been busy in Forest School making their own disgusting sandwiches!

Creating calm seascapes

In Art, the children have been learning how to use horizontal paint brush strokes to create different calming shapes and patterns. They studied the work of Monet and used his work to inspire their calm seascapes.

Science Gadget Shop

Next week is our school Science Enrichment week. We are running the science gadget shop again this year as it has proved highly successful in previous years. Children can bring a small amount of money to purchase science related toys and games. Most items are between 50p and £2.50. Miss Evans, our science coordinator, will run it during lunchtime on Wednesday and Thursday. 

Parents are asked to send a small amount of money in with their child, in a named envelope, to enable them to visit the shop. All profits from the gadget shop will go towards new school science equipment.
