We had a great time in science today exploring different solids to see if they dissolved in water. We then started to think about whether we had worked scientifically to make our test fair. Lots of great discussions and most importantly lots of smiling, enthusiastic children 😀
The children had a lovely day today sharing books and stories and simply having fun being dressed up from the highly popular wizards and witches (even Miss Hill was The Witch on the Broomstick) to some difficult ones to figure out like Zoe Sugg's (that's the author and not Milly-Grace who dressed as the character Penny Porter, in) Girl Online.
