P2 had a visit from Sentinus, who delivered a very exciting workshop.
We investigated different ways to build houses.
This morning, P3 enjoyed a fun, hands-on workshop with David from Sentinus. Working in terms of three, they built and tested ramps, tackled practical number problems, honed logical thinking skills and explored concepts of shape and space.
The WAU topic in P5 this half term is Our World. P5D have looked at the continents, countries and seas around the world. Over the last two weeks they have been learning about famous buildings that are around the world. They used charcoal to draw them. Can you identify any of the pictures the boys and girls have drawn?
We had a visit from Sentinus today and enjoyed learning all about the pH scale and finding out about acids, alkalis and indicators. We tested a variety of substances with indicator solution to discover whether the substance was acidic, neutral or alkaline. The children enjoyed watching for colour changes and creating bubbling reactions. We also tested for starch content in a variety of food samples.
This morning we had a lovely Sentinus session where we looked at various materials to build some houses. We then tested the houses to see if we could blow them down by pretending to be the big bad wolf. Lots of the designs stayed standing and we were very impressed by all of the creations.
We used pegs and lollipop sticks for the stick house, play dough and straws for the straw house and Lego for the brick house.
What do you think of our creations?
