The challenge was to try to melt the ice the quickest, without holding or hitting it to break it. After some super brain-storming about how we might go about this we decided to try 3 things - adding water, adding washing-up liquid and adding salt and got into 3 groups to try this out.
We were surprised to find that washing up-liquid began melting the ice the fastest, but then it slowed down and the water melted the ice completely first. The salt ended up being extremely slow, which was interesting as we all predicted (guessed!) this would be the quickest!
Year 2 have been on a secret mission this week, doing lots of special challenges and activities - more details to follow next week! I am super impressed so far with how well everyone is doing, keep it up!
Year 1 have been helping Class 1 (Reception) children this week and getting to know them a little bit in preparation for next year - I was so pleased to hear you had a great time having your P4C discussion about who the real baddie was in the story 'The Gingerbread Man' - see Class 1s blog for more on this!
They also had a super 'practical maths' lesson with Mrs Curtis whilst the Year 2s were doing some tricky maths problems - making their own number lines and adding 2 and then 3 single-digit numbers by rolling dice and finding the total. They then played ‘find the number’ – Mrs Curtis gave each child a number problems like ‘Find a number that comes between 5 and 8’ ‘This is the number of toes you have’ or ‘What is double 3?’ – and they had to work out the answer and then go and find that number in the room! Great fun!
Ryan was in the Golden Book this week for super effort and concentration in Phonics lessons recently - well done!
