Good bye and thank you Miss Smith

We have had Ms Grace Smith teaching our class for the past 5 weeks. Ms Smith is a past-pupil of the school. We would like to thank her for all her interesting lessons and for her kindness to us.



Magnets

We did some experiments with magnets this week:

We used a magnet to move a train around the track without touching it.

We tested to see if a magnet would work through various materials eg a cup, a glass, a piece of cardboard etc.

We made a compass by magnetising a needle and floating it on water.

We magnetized a nail by rubbing it with a bar magnet.

We tested different metals to see which were attracted to magnets: Aluminium cans, tin cans, coins, tinfoil,paperclips etc


Art work

We did pointillism painting with Ms Smith.
We used cotton buds to paint colourful pictures of fish.


We took a photo from a magazine and extended it into a bigger picture using paint.
