Personal hygiene workshop for Y6.

We welcomed Linda, a Health Education and Training Coordinator from Positive Health Lincolnshire to deliver 4 workshops specifically aimed at year 6.
Here the boys were learning how to shave!

It's a messy business-what do I do with the extra foam?

Telling Matthew to be careful- he might cut Jeff!

Next discussing germs! How far can germs spread?

Nasty things germs!

3 people touched the bag and then checked under UV lighting just to see how far the germs(talc acting as our germs today) had spread.

Thank you Linda- 4 fabulous workshops- fun as well as informative.

We'll always wash our hands properly now!?!

Science week activities:Lava lamps,Art and rockets

Lava Lamps

We made lava lamps using oil, water, food colouring and Alka-Seltzer tablets in a plastic bottle.

adding the ingredients

lid on tightly before gently rocking the mixture back and forth

When a torch was shined underneath then the lava lamp effect was magnified.

It works! Success.

Enjoying our creations.

Another great science activity.

Art- natures pallet in science week.

We explored our school grounds looking to see what colour pallets could be made from natural objects.

collecting various shades of green

Once we had collected our materials we had to create a piece of art using collected objects.

Arranging our colour shades .

Sorting and deciding what to do.

Enjoying using the ground as a canvas.

Even creating a frame for the picture.

Pleased with our final creations.

Super art using natures palette.

Science Week Rockets

We made rockets in science week powered by water mixed with an Alka-Seltzer tablet-very successful. Some flew to the height of the school roof, others fizzled due to a poor seal being made and water leaking out.

At the start all proudly showing our mini rockets.

We had to stand well back as the rockets flew off quickly- usually in an upright direction.

The sandpit lid provided an ideal base for launching our rockets.

We had a relaunch of the ones that went the highest-Arthur looks pleased with how his went.

Wow-so high!

Children were still a bit apprehensive and backed away quickly once the lids were secured!

Resealing and refining the rockets.

                                   Great fun and a perfect sunny day to launch the rockets.
