In K4 and K5 Science we have been playing with flour really enjoying this experience!
SIMPLE COLOUR MIXING
In K5 Science we have learnt to mix paints to get other colours.
Blue and yellow make green, red and blue make purple and red and yellow-orange. How cool!
THE SNOWMAN AND THE SNOWDOG
The SNOWMAN AND THE SNOWDOG is an award winning animated short film, the sequel to the story “The Snowman” by Raymond Briggs. We’ve watched it today!
Cd disks from the Barcelona Aquarium!
Our school is collaborating with the Barcelona Aquarium in an International School Project called The Virtue Project.
Last Monday, two divers from the Aquarium took out a CD rack that had been placed in seawater for seven months in order to give us some CD disks to study organisms that had grown on them.
Ms. Coral Hispano, the head of the laboratory showed us around and explained to us backstage of the centre.
The Aquarium of Barcelona is the most important marine leisure and education centre in the world concerning the Mediterranean.
A series of 35 tanks, 11,000 animals and 450 different species, an underwater tunnel 80 meters long, six million litres of water and an immense Oceanarium, the only one in Europe make this centre a unique reference!

WHAT IS GOING TO GROW ON THE DISK
Today we have drawn our guesses what might grow on our virtue disks. We have constructed our very first scientific hypothesis! Have a look at the outcome.
BUILDING A CD RACK!
Today in K5 we have mounted a number of CDs on a rack. We are going to place the racks in different underwater environments to analyse the growth of organisms on the discs and to learn about sealife under the water surface.
This forms part of an international school project called the VIRTUE PROJECT promoted by the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
A SCIENCE CLASS WITH MR.BONEY
We were wondering about bones the other day and we wanted to know how many we had. We tried to count them, but then we realized they’ re all under our skin!
So today in our Science class Mr Boney has been teaching us some of the names of our bones and we’ve been colouring out a skeleton too!
We’d like to introduce: Mr. Boney, our new Science teacher!
We are having a brand-new life-size human skeleton in our Science class! His name’s Mr.Boney. He is going to teach us about the human body and its bones.
Welcome Mr Boney!
TOOTHPICK STARS
Today we’ve been playing with toothpicks to test the surface tension of coloured water. We’ve found out that dipping a soapy toothpick into the water could break the surface tension and our toothpick stars! Have a look at our pictures!
