Art

Creating a monoprint.

Monoprint is a form of printing where the image can only be made once. Tha main purpose of monoprint process is therefore not to create images serially from stencils, but to obtain a unique work of art while using printed media. 
Children used a sheet of clear plastic to transfer their unique design onto a paper. 

No two prints were alike. 

Science

Understand that soils are made from organic matter. 
Observing over time and recording. 

Today in Sience lesson we measured how long it takes the water to drip through sand, chalk and clay. 
From measuring we discovered that sand took 9 minutes and 50 seconds. 
Clay took 5 minutes and 44 seconds. And chalk took 28 minutes and 30 seconds. 
We then discussed that the chalk was the slowest due to absorbing the water.

Investigate the purpose of human skeleton. 

 

Firstly, we discussed how our bones protect our body. 
Placing our tomatos in various objects such as bottles, boxes, cotton wool and cardboard it formed a protective case. 
We were ready for experiment.

Using a weighted container Miss Taylor dropped the container on to our individual projects. We noticed that the plastic containers and boxes protected tomatos.
