September 2022 - Last week we received a very special, and precious delivery. A number of boxes arrived at our classroom filled with ancient artefacts from the Stone Age. We had to carefully unearth them from their packaging and as a group discuss what they could have been used for.
States of Matter: Heating and Cooling
October 7th 2022
Today we looked at the melting and freezing points of different materials. We discussed how a change in temperature can affect the state of a solid or a liquid. We then carried out our own investigation to find the best water temperature for melting chocolate. Once we had conducted our investigation, we wrote up our findings, then put into practice what we had discovered, by making some delicious chocolate cornflake cakes.
Class 3 trip to Rotunda Museum and Scarborough beach
Class 3 had a wonderful trip to Scarborough, where we visited Rotunda Museum as part of the Creatures of Curiosity project. We undertook a trail about extinct animals 'Lost and Found'. We then created a clay 'curiosity' inspired by the Rotunda Ram. Once we'd had our lunch in the sunshine beneath Spa Bridge, we had a great time on the beach, digging, playing and creating. A fabulous day was had by one and all.
This Planet Rocks
In our science unit on rocks and fossils we undertook a science investigation to test the hardness and permeability of different types of rocks. we also conducted an acid test on the rocks. This enabled us to predict whether the rocks were sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. We also had a hunt round our local area for different types of rock and how they are used. We looked for signs of erosion. We still have more to learn about fossils and soils.
