Our summer theme
The boys and girls in 2B have been exploring the theme of summer! This week they learnt all about temperature and Lord Kelvin who invented the thermometer. A thermometer measures how hot or cold somewhere is. We measured the temperature each day using a thermometer. We also learnt about boiling and freezing points and how to identify them on a thermometer. 0 degrees means something is at freezing point and 100 degrees means something is at boiling point. We carried out an experiment whereby we froze water until it turned into ice and then we investigated whether salt, sugar and sand speed up the melting process. Check out some of the results! We have also been learning about the honey bee and creating our own fact files. Our art involved creating some honey bee stones to make our garden look pretty. The work completed has been fantastic! Some extra summer themed painting!
