Enjoying watching the Lava Lamp!

Watch what happens...

Groovy Lava Lamps

Today, we looked at groovy lava lamps. We found out how they work and spent ages watching the blobs go up and down - quite relaxing really!

Then we made our own!
Here are the instructions:

You will need

A glass jar
vegetable oil
plenty of salt
water
food colouring

Step 1: Pour water into the jar until it is just over half full

Step 2: Pour 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the jar
Look at where the oil has settled

Step 3: Add a drop of food colouring
Where is the salt?

Step 4: Shake salt on top of the oil. Count slowly to 5 and watch what happens to the food colouring.
Where is the salt?

Step 5: Add more salt to keep the action going for as long as you want!

It was such good fun that we did it twice!

Busy mathematicians!

We have been extremely busy in maths this week. we have done lots of work on multiplication and division. The best thing and most clever thing we learnt was how to write remainders as fractions or decimals:

34 divided by 8 = 4 and a quarter

54 divided by 10 = 5.4

Writing instructions

This week in literacy we have been learning the features of instruction text. First we had to look at different sets of instructions and find out what they all had in common and what the features of instructional text were. We started by giving instructions orally by planning a simple card or dice game and have just moved on to writing our own instructions.
