We had an exciting week testing and developing our own biscuits and the children learnt many baking tips and tricks. For example, you must make sure to mix any added ingredients such as chocolate into the dough and not just place them on the top as this causes them to burn. We discussed the difference between a company logo and a specific biscuit’s packaging design as well as creating our own bags using origami.

Science - Understanding how particles are different in solids liquids and gases! 🧪🧪

In science today children were left fascinated and highly curious about how our world is made! They understood that everything in our world is made from different types of particles and atoms. After grasping how particles are arranged differently in solids, liquids and gases they began to ask many philosophical questions such as:

Is god made of atoms?

Who made particles?

Science - Seirian Sumners 🐝🧪🧬🦠

We learnt all about Seirian Sumner’s work with wasps. At the start of the session, the only words that came to mind when thinking about wasps were negative. Sting was the most popular! After learning about her research we decided that wasps, while still maybe a little mean, are also helpful, useful and provide good animal control.
