Weekly Update 22.10.2021

What a busy end to the half-term!
In English we have been using the information we have learnt about The Great Fire of London to make our own Information Posters about this event. I have been very impressed with all the facts that the children can remember about The Great Fire!
This week we also conducted an experiment in science, all about the effects of fizzy drinks on our teeth and the importance of brushing our teeth. We left a hard-boiled egg (pretending to be a tooth!) in a cup of fizzy drink for a day and compared this to an egg left in water for the same amount of time. The children's predictions that the egg in the fizzy drink would change colour and turn brown came true. We then had a go at scrubbing the egg clean with a toothbrush and toothpaste to make the egg clean again. The children especially enjoyed learning about this and they each had a go at scrubbing the egg with the toothbrush!
Yesterday we sent out a box of raisins with every child, for the Raisin Funds challenge, organised by the PTA. It would be very much appreciated if this box could be returned on Monday 1st November, filled with any loose change from home.
Enjoy the holidays and please keep reading with your child over the next week!
