Scientists 24.02.17

This week in Lime Class we have been scientists. We read a book called 'Mix it up' all about colour mixing and carried out two investigations. 

On Monday we put different colour skittles around the edge of a plate and poured warm water over the top. We made predictions about what we thought would happen and then observed the results. "The colours came off the skittles and made a rainbow on the plate." It was amazing!!

On Tuesday we thought about what was inside a felt tip pen. We all thought they had ink inside but we weren't sure if there was just one colour ink or lots of different colours. We drew a thick line on a coffee filter with different colour felt tip pens and dipped the coffee filter in some water. The water went up and made the colour spread. We found out that some of the inks had other colours in them too. Black was the best - we saw blue, red, and purple!

In Maths we learnt how to double a number.  Doubling means you add the same number again. "Double 3 is 6."
"Double 2 is 4."
"Double 1 is 2."

Next Friday is our sharing assembly so we have been thinking about what we would like to say. We all have our words in our book bag to practise over the weekend. 

This week’s Learning Owl is Beatrice. She has been chosen for her fantastic 'I can do it' attitude towards her reading. Well done Beatrice, we hope you have a fantastic weekend with Hootie. 

Next week is Book Week so this week for home learning we would like you to write about your favourite book.
