We designed our fruit salads after discussing which healthy foods we should eat and why. We enjoyed chopping up our chosen fruits and trying fruits that we had never tried before! After tasting our fruit salad, using one of the five sense, we evaluated it. Some children had never tried plum…

In pairs, we decided which of our string telephones was the best…

We have been investigating whether a gas weighs anything. First we weighed different bottles of fizzy drinks.Then we shook them to make them go flat and release the gas in them called carbon dioxide. Our arms certainly ached doing this! We weighed them again to see if they were lighter and they…
