Science Club, by Mrs Harris

Science Club with Mrs McGunigall 🔬🧪🔭

Science club had fun experimenting with plastics. Did you know that plastics are made of many molecules stuck together in a long chain? We discovered that when you pierce a bag with pencils, it breaks the chain, but the molecules of the chain are sticky so they make a seal around the pencil and won’t let the water out! Guess what happened when we removed the pencils! 💦💦💦

Y3K Ancient Egyptians, by Mrs Harris

Date: 16th Jan 2025 @ 8:43pm

Year 3K loved learning all about the Ancient Egyptians' beliefs in the afterlife and how they worshipped many Gods and Goddesses. They thought about what items ancient Egyptians would take with them to the afterlife and what they would take with them if they were to make the journey to The Field of Reeds! They then played Top Trumps to try and defeat their opponents with their Gods or Goddesses and the many powers they held.
