Exploring water

Hello Everyone,

We had a great end to the term with the Caterpillars hatching in to beautiful Butterfly’s. They have now been set free to life in the outside world. The children loved this experience which was great to observe.

We hope you have all had lots of fun over the half term; we look forward to recording all your news stories over the coming week.

Over the next two weeks we will be looking at the theme of water.

We will look in to where our water comes from, water safety, floating and sinking,

Measure prediction of the weight of water. Hot/cold water. Collecting rain water and measuring how much rain we have had.

Countries which don’t have much water and how they get water.
