Year 6 created blood today! They used: yellow food colouring and water for the plasma; rice cripsies, dyed red by red food colouring, for the red blood cells; white paper for the white blood cells and pink paper for the platelets.

The children tested different materials to find out which were absorbent. They used this knowledge to mop up the tables after their investigation!

Year 1 had a enjoyed learning about how materials change shape. Can they be squashed or twisted?

What material would be the best for a child's trousers? Year 2 picked a variety of materials to see which would be the most hard wearing for a child to wear. They rubbed them on the playground floor to see how long they would take to wear out.
