Y4 - Working Scientifically
Year 4 have been learning about teeth in our science lessons so we wanted to investigate the affect different liquids have on teeth. We used hard boiled eggs to represent teeth. We put each egg into a plastic cup and covered it with a different liquid. We used coco-cola, orange juice, milk, a sports drink, vinegar and water. We predicted what will happen to each egg but we will wait one week to find out!
Y5 - RE, The Easter Story
In RE today the children have been looking at versions of the Easter Story and the similarities and differences within them.

The children had some great ideas and worked brilliantly together, demonstrating their teamwork skills from Skills Builder too.
