Science - Habitats.

Hi everyone

the end of this week brings the end of another science topic and the children have been learning about habitats of different animals and the food chains that exist.

If your child wants to do some science revision over the weekend, here are some links to science games related to habitats and food chains:

Food chains (producers and consumers):

Enjoy!

Science Assessment

Please be aware that the next Science assessment is on Thursday, covering the Solids and Liquids topic. We have had a long revision lesson today, quickly re-doing experiments that we have previously covered. Please ask your child about these experiments and relate them to the games I have posted on our blog. Please also relate these to everyday situations, such as cooking using liquids or solids.


Good luck with the revision.

Science - Reversible and irreversible changes.

Hi everyone - me again!

Today in science we did en experiment to see if sand, sugar or salt dissolve in water. We are now waiting to see what happens with these solutions over the next few days - The sand didn't dissolve but the sugar and salt did. I'm hoping the classroom is warm enough for the solutions to evaporate quickly, leaving the salt and sugar in the Petridishes!

It might help your child have more of an ideas during class discussions over the next few days if they play a related Science game. Please follow this link:

I hope they have fun and I look forward to their feedback.

Good luck and happy Science!
