We have had a fantastic, fun week back, the children thoroughly enjoyed the science activities. We carried out lots of exciting experiments: fingerprinting, rockets, bubbles, ice, turning  butter into cream, putting a wooden skewer through a balloon (which was a bit scary!) and observing the changes when food colouring is added to different varieties of milk and water is added to skittles. The children was involved in lots of engaged learning and enjoyed the challenges.
