Back to work

Expected to have a bad day as we tried to shake off two weeks of hol­i­day and het back to work. In the end we had a few wob­bles but nowhere near as bad as anticipated.

Jack did some Maths, Eng­lish and His­tory (none of which make inter­est­ing photos).
Sci­ence, we began look­ing at mat­ter. We used bal­loons filled with ice, water and air to com­pare and describe the states of matter.

Released the bal­loon con­tents to find out if the state of mat­ter ‘flowed’ (pin in to sel­l­otape trick)

cut­ting off the tie of the water bal­loon gave us a foun­tain (and lots of wet teatow­els from mop­ping up the resul­tant mess).

Play­ing with the ice.

Sam did maths.


Eng­lish


and we played sen­tence dominoes.


We car­ried out more sci­ence exper­i­ments look­ing at the effect of heat on chang­ing matter.
Oth­er­wise know­ing as bak­ing bread and cakes.

 

Fol­low­ing a cool bath here is Sen­a­tor Sam Large prepar­ing to stab Caesar.
