English and Maths - from workbooks and printable sheets.
Science
Experiment - Food Colouring and Oil, Density. Mix equal parts oil and water and then adding a drop of food colouring. The water-based drop remains intact until it sinks through the oil and contacts the water, at which point the colour at last disperses. The oil remains separate from the water because it lacks polarity and floats because it’s less dense.
Workbook - Living and non living things and naming parts of animals and plants.
Also taking part in the Garden Bird Watch for the RSPB this weekend.
History
Egyptians - We didn't look inside a virtual Pyramid as planned but instead performed a virtual mummification, which was quite gruesome but J enjoyed it.
Coloured in a sarcophagus
Mummified Action Man.
That was the end of History for that morning as J then went and mummified all his action man and had a mass battle.
Geography
Rocks and Minerals- watched The Magic School Bus on you tube, all about this subject obvs. Read this book
Also found a magazine at Tesco, first issue focusing on Gold. It was 99p, but of course the price will go up,and then I wont be able to find the rest of the issues without paying a fortune for it which is what often happens with these kinds of educational magazines, but this issue was quite useful and has lots of photos of various rocks and minerals with descriptions.
