It has been a busy Science Week in Reception! As the theme this year was ‘Journeys’ children looked at the story of The Hungry Caterpillar and produced some work on the journey which took place throughout this story. Reception also did some very exciting experiments this week. Our first tested the distance of paper aeroplanes in the playground and whether making one out of card makes a difference to how far it can travel. The second experiment involved filling some balloons with ice and then freezing them. We then took the balloon off, sprinkled some salt on the frozen ice ball, then dripped different food colouring onto it, watching the colours stream into one another due to the trails formed by the salt. It was all very fun! Take a look at our photos below.
