All About Authors

We  are  learning  about  authors.

"An   author  writes  stories, "  said  Emma

"We  are  authors,"  said  Max

Authors   publish  their  writing  so  that  other  people  can  read  it.

Come  and  read  our  published  writing  in  Room 1!






Fizzing and Foaming

We  are  learning  that  matter  can  be  a  solid,  liquid  or  a  gas.

Liquids can me milk, petrol, water, sea water, coke and blood.

Solids can be wood, plastic, furniture, sand, fruit, bodies and bones.

Gas can be fog, steam  and smoke.

We  are   learning  about  what happens  to solids  when  you  mix  them.

Today  we   made  fruit  salad  by  mixing  the  pieces  of  fruit.

"We  could  still  see  the  pieces  of  fruit  when we  stirred  it,"  said  Emma


Then  we  ate  our  delicious  fruit  salad!

Next  we  mixed  some  jelly.

"The  jelly  crystals  were  solid,"  said Marcus.

"They  changed  into  a  liquid  when  we  put  the  hot  water  in  the  bowl," said Jack.

"The  water  turned  pink  because  the  jelly  crystals  turned  it  to  pink,"  said Keira.


"We  stirred  the  jelly  and  it  was  hot  and  wobbly,"  said  Max.
