Today, as part of our investigation work, we talked about liquids and solids. We talked about how different they were-that a liquid could be poured and a solid can’t. We then investigated how to change the state of something. We made a mug cake-the batter was very liquid and runny. After it had been in the microwave, it could no longer be poured. We had to try it just to check!

This afternoon, we made pancakes. Mrs Garraway and Miss Becker were super chefs. Everybody in Reception had a go at flipping a pancake and we all tried them with lemon and sugar. They were delicious.

This week, our focus book has been ‘The Snail and the Whale’ by Julia Donaldson.

We learnt that a whale is as long as the infant playground so we counted how many steps that was for each of us. We then discovered that a whale had become beached on our playground! We used our strong hand muscles to spray him with water until the tide came back in.
