Our class worked really hard over the past few weeks learning all about water on our planet. Some of the topics we looked at were: pollution, how rivers are formed, the Water Cycle, amazing sea creatures and we did an experiment in Science to demonstrate the workings of the Water Cycle. They did some painting to show the journey of a river and incorporated the Water Cycle into it. The experiment involved putting ice and food colouring into Ziploc bags and watching at intervals as the ice melted and some of the water turned to vapour and then condensation inside bags.

On Fun Friday at the end of April, the children all brought in their projects and presented them in Circle Time to their classmates. They were all very proud showing off the results of their work. We displayed them in the yard and all of the other classes and staff in the school called by to look at them and the children told them what they were based on.

We are looking forward to working on the theme of Darkness and Light in our solar System next!
