Science Day πŸ§ͺπŸ¦ŠπŸ“

Today the tigers have had a day working on our Science Topic, ‘Animals, including humans’. Firstly we, looked at carnivores, herbivores and omnivores before looking at senses we have as humans. To test our sense of taste, we did a taste test. We decided how something would taste using sight and smell, before trying it. The lemon was very very sour! πŸ‹

Structures πŸ—ΌπŸ’

In D&T this half term we have been learning about structures with the question  ‘How can we stop a tower from toppling over?’ Firstly, we experimented by building towers from lots of different types of blocks. We established that for something to be balanced, weight has to be equal on both sides and if the blocks are not placed centrally, then this could affect the balance.  Next, we learnt all about the different joins of cardboard and how we can use these to make a sturdy tower. We used techniques such as wrapping, folding, flange and tab joins, feet and slot joins and L joins.  Next we are going to use all our learning to create our own towers this week!
