Our Marvellous Hair Tonic!

Well, it did the job! Mr Lavis now has a full head of hair!

Sharing and grouping

We did some practical sharing and grouping today using cubes.

Interesting Adjectives

We explored language this week by describing some of the items George might have put in his marvellous medicine.

Life is Sweet!

Do you know how much sugar is in the drink you are drinking? We do! As part of our Science topic about balanced diets we collected data about our favourite drinks and made bar charts to show what we found out. Lucozade is the most popular drink in Holly class. Then we ordered the drinks by how much sugar we thought was is each one. Next we found out the sugar content of each drink and measured out in sugar cubes how much sugar was in 250ml of each drink. We were surprised by some of our results! Our conclusion- it's best to drink water or milk as our main drink and have sugary drinks sometimes as a treat.

Marvellous Muscles!

We have been finding out how our muscles help us move. We made a model of our arm using balloons and parts of a construction kit. We found out our muscles work in pairs to make us move. Can you explain to an adult how they work? Remember to use the words, bicep, tricep, contract and extend!

Animal skeletons

We played a game called, "Whose bones are those?" We had to guess which skeleton belonged to which animal. Some were really easy to guess. Others, especially the rabbit, were really hard! Then we made skeleton pictures using black paper and art straws.

Investigating which of our favourite drinks is the healthiest

We looked at the food labels on these drinks to see how much sugar there was in them. We had to make sure it was fair so we looked at 1 litre amounts. The amount of sugar was measured in grams. In the photo we used sugar cubes ( 5 grams each) to show the results.

We were most surprised by the amount of sugar in apple juice!
