Investigation results.

It is hard to see the one in the milk. We didn't open the jar because the milk was bad. 1 (milk) & 3 (water) were unaffected. The next, least effect was sugar free lemonade. Squash had changed the colour of the shell, lemonade had begun to take off the surface of the shell and the shell was brittle. Vinegar had completely dissolved the shell so that only the thin inner membrane was left. Everyone now has a good understanding of how teeth can be damaged by various liquids (and foods). 

The children really enjoyed this investigation and had lots of ideas about what other liquids they could test. Maybe you could try some at home? 

Science investigation.

Year 4 are trying to find out how a range of liquids affect our teeth. We set up an investigation and will look at the results next week. Please have a chat at home and try to predict what will happen to the egg shells in the different liquids. 

From left to right they are lemonade, milk, water, diluted squash, vinegar and sugar free lemonade.

We'll share our results next week. 

Our day at Beacon Fell.

4WG had a fantastic day at Beacon Fell, thanks to Mr Harvie and his team. 

We made it to the summit in time to have our minutes silence there. 

One of the favourite places was the play area, even though (& possibly because) it was very muddy!

A highlight on all the trips is the hot chocolate made by Mr Harvie, using his famous 'Kelly Kettle'.

The children also enjoy building dens. Some work really hard with this and are quite rightly very proud of the results. 

A fabulous day, which we all enjoyed very much.
