Today in Science we made electrical circuits and made bulbs light up. We used a battery as a power source. It was great fun, but the longer we used the battery the hotter it got ! We found that we had to make a really good connection between the battery and the bulb to make a good circuit and light up the bulb.It was easier to make a really good connection when we used the bulb holder. Here we are at work…
For Art this week we looked at the Willow Pattern on crockery. We saw the temple, the bridge, the soldiers, the boat, the island, the apple tree, the weeping willow, the lake ,the summer house and the doves. We saw a video of the story of the willow pattern. We saw a lego stop motion film of the story too which was very funny. We had fun drawing our own willow pattern plates. We took care with the detail on the border of the plate. Here we are at work.
Today was a very exciting day because lots of snow fell and the school looked like a winter wonderland. We had just collected our weather data for the day ( temperature in the sun and shade, rainfall, wind direction, air pressure, cloud cover ) and were not expecting such a snow fall. We recorded cloud cover as high , white and few. The only indicator was the outside temperature in the shade which we recorded as zero degrees celsius. Some pupils did wonder if it might snow but we decided it wouldn’t ! Twenty minutes later did we get a surprise ?? The sky was grey with snow tumbling down to cover the school. We added the snow to our weather data. By 2.00 the sun was beaming down and our snow was melting away.
