Arm extension!

Have you ever wished that your arm was longer and stronger? Well now you can make your own arm extension using some card or paper and wooden skewers. See if you can make one of these at home with the help of an adult? Mrs Carter had fun with this one as she is vertically challenged!

Our trip to Stardome!

We travelled by bus to One Tree Hill in Greenlane and went to visit the observatory. Inside there were lots of things to explore such as rockets made of Lego, telescopes, the black hole. John taught us all about how the sun rotates around the earth and the moon also rotates to give us daytime and nightime. Then we got to watch a movie about Space called Tycho.

Mrs Carter's lava lamp!

Here is my attempt at making a lava lamp in lockdown...hope you enjoy? The ingredients and things that I have used for this science experiment are; an empty plastic bottle 1.5 litre (see through) you can also use a smaller bottle such as a 250 ml, some cooking oil (make sure you ask Mum or Dad first!), a few drops of food colouring or dye, a bit of water to add and an effervescent tablet (or Berocca) or you can use table salt as a substitute? Please keep the bottle away from under 3 year olds.
