For science week, we continued with our theme of festivals of light and made some lava lamps! 🌋
We also tried to see how plants take in water through their stems. We used water with food colouring and wow look the white petals changed colours! 🌸🌼

The Rainforest - October Theme

All our learning this month is going to be centred around the theme of the Rainforest, We have been learning about where they are, who/what live there, how to find them on a map, then completing different literacy and STEAM challenges :)
