Fruity Science Fun

First Class pupils became junior scientists this week as they took part in a very exciting science activity — creating their very own fruity drinks! The children brought in a wonderful variety of fresh fruits from home, including strawberries, oranges, lemons, apples, blueberries, and more. They mixed different fruits together and added either still water or sparkling water to invent their own special drinks. Some drinks were sweet and fruity, while others had a fizzy surprise! The best part of the activity was getting to taste each other’s drinks. Everyone had the chance to sample the different fruity recipes and share their opinions like real food scientists. There were lots of smiles, laughter, and happy reactions throughout the morning. The pupils loved discussing which ingredients worked best. Well done to all of the amazing First Class scientists for their brilliant creations.

Fun on the iPads

We have really been enjoying using the school iPads recently. We used them to make shapes on geoboards and then we halved each shape. We also made shapes with lines of symmetry and showed these lines too. It was great fun! We use an app called Seesaw to upload our proud work from each month and we read books and listen to audio books on another app called Epic. We love using the iPads!
