Hi everyone! Well done on all your hard work doing STEM activities so far. This week we are looking at density. Density is a word we use to describe how much space an object or substance takes up (its volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass). Another way to put it is that density is the amount of mass per unit of volume. If an object is heavy and compact, it has a high density. This video will show you how it works! Try it out at home too see if you get the same results. Feel free to experiment with different liquids, good luck!

Pancake Tuesday is one of our favourite days in the school calendar so we’ve marked the occasion with a very special video from Paddy!

Here are some of the beautiful Valentine’s Day cards that we made at home… 💕❤💕❤

Here’s a beautiful picture that Mya made of her brand new baby cousin who she loves very much! 💕🌹

When you are finished drawing, add some bright colours to your masterpiece!

Once your work is finished, send a picture to your teacher on Class Dojo or to the School Whatsapp and it could be added to the blog next week. You will also earn some Dojo’s for your class which all count towards Spin The Wheel!
