We are scientific explorers!

In science, we have been looking at different materials and their properties. This week, we undertook an experiment to see which materials were waterproof, transparent and strong. We had to record our findings in a table, coming to a conclusion about which materials were strongest, which were transparent and which were waterproof. What fun we had during the experiments!
During art sessions, we have been looking at the artist, Giuseppe Arcimboldo. We started by cutting out different shapes to create portraits then looked extremely closely at the detail and texture that fruit have on them, copying this as a sketch. This week, we were exploring the colours of different fruit and vegetables and how we can change the shade of the primary colours by adding white and black.
In PSHE, we have been learning what money is and how we obtain it. We spent lots of time looking at different coins and notes, understanding the value of them. We decided that we don't use coins and nots as much now, we see people using bank cards, their smart watches or their phones to pay for items from shops.
I hope you all have a restful weekend and manage to stay dry!
