Eva, Emma and Abigial - Work on Sound

Eva, Emma and Abigail - Solar Oven

"This was the solar oven we made, from home school hub. We melted the chocolate, butter and syrup in our oven to make Easter nest cakes. It took about 1 1/2 hours from 11am. We had to reposition the oven a couple of times to make sure the sun was shining in on our ingredients. It was great fun to make, and really good to see how well it worked, but the best bit was eating cakes at the end!!!"

Wow the cakes look delicious!

Eva, Emma and Abigail work on different projects during the coronavirus crisis in March / April 2020. Well done girls.

2nd April 2020 - We made these palm trees for Art today because Abi was learning about Hawaii.

1st April 2020 - For the last 2 weeks we have learnt about the weather. We learnt how it can affect what we do and where we go. We looked at how clouds form and how the landscape can affect when and where it rains. We learnt about different types of cloud and about air pressure. We also saw how air pressure can affect what type of weather we will have. We saw how weather is measured and made our own weather station. We made a rain gauge, barometer and wind vane, and learned how to use a compass to see which direction the wind was coming from. We kept weather diaries and noted the temperature, type of weather, amount of rain, air pressure, wind direction and estimated wind speed using the Beaufort scale. We also measured cloud cover in oktas, and noted the type of cloud. Here are some pictures of what we worked on:

30th March 2020 - Worked on writing about the tadpoles we have been keeping.
