Science Experiments in Room 10

On Thursday Jess brought in two bottles of Diet Coke and some mint Mentos. First we had to write in our books and predict what was going to happen. When Jess dropped the Mentos into the Diet Coke it reacted with the coke and caused it to explode. We talked about how we could make changes to improve the experiment. Our next step is to look into the science behind this and explain why this reaction occurs.





Pondering Probability


In Room 10 we have started looking into the probability of something happening. Here is a video of us playing paper, scissors, rock. We then graphed our results and made a probability statement about our partner's throws.

Swimming Day One

Some very excited Room 9 children left school and headed to Kings Swim School for their first swimming lesson. Kings staff grouped the children into 3 groups based on their confidence and ability in the water. We are really excited about going swimming for the next four weeks on Thursday and Friday afternoons.
