In chemistry we have been recapping the states of matter as well as reversible and irreversible changes. We’ve then used this knowledge to investigate the rate a solute dissolves in a solvent.

Working super hard in our targeted interventions
Yesterday afternoon we were improving our maths reasoning skills – Miss Mcloughlin, Mrs Rhodes and Mrs Ibbotson are very impressed with our progress!
We’re looking for a Cleaning Lead at XP Doncaster
World Book Day fun in MI :)
It’s been a busy few days in MI as we continue our activities in preparation for World Book Day! During story telling week MI created their own story and this week we have created our own front covers and blurbs to go with our creation. We are all so excited to put our story together 🙂
Guitars in MI
Such focus this morning in our guitar lesson 🙂
Beautiful work celebrations
Another lovely morning celebrating beautiful work 🙂
Investigating materials
Today in expedition, we started thinking about how we could help the Gingerbread Man to cross the river. We began by looking at different types of materials and describing them, before looking at the words, ‘float’ and ‘sink’. We decided that the best materials to help the gingerbread man get across the river would be the ones that float! Next, we predicted which materials would float and which would sink before testing them. We can’t wait to plan our designs tomorrow and make our creations with our grow ups on Thursday!
Challenge Crew
This morning, we had to continue to work in a crew to achieve a common goal. We worked in mini crews and were set the challenge of seeing which mini crew could hold the most pieces of paper between parts of their body. There were strict rules in that we could not fold the paper or use anything, such as glue, to help us. We also weren’t allowed to let the pieces of paper touch each other.
Science Experiment – Ice Caps 🧊
Yesterday, Crew Hamill prepared their next science experiment titled: “How does the temperature affect the rate at which ice melts?” We had a recap of what we already know about the ice caps and discussed how the ice is melting in Svalbard which is leading to problems in Svalbard and the UK. To understand the impact temperature has on ice, we have started an experiment in which we have prepared three blocks of ice that we will be exposing to three different environments – one in the freezer, one on a table at room temperature and one on a radiator, exposed to a higher temperature. We made a prediction that the ice at a higher temperature will melt at a faster rate than the ice in the freezer. We cannot wait to complete our experiment to see if we are right!
