This month in Science we have been learning about mixtures, materials and mixing substances and different materials. 

Firstly we looked at the changing states of water: from a solid to a liquid and to a gas and then how that can go in reverse.

We examined the reaction between water and oil and what happens to these liquids when mixed (or not mixed) together in a bottle.

Lastly, the highlight of the month was when we got to make slime. We looked at the various materials needed to make the slime and examined its properties. We questioned what might happen when we mixed some of the materials together. 
We added materials together step by step so we could look at the creation of the slime and what happens to the mixture every time we added something else to it. When we reached the final step the slime was made but the children noticed they needed to add more of the ingredients to help the slime keep its texture. 

The entire investigation was a hit with everyone

***Also to add I take no responsibility for what the children did with the slime once they brought it home. I had intended for it to be binned but they wore me down to bring home.***

Mouths were fed, Nutella was spread and marshmallows were had too! Everyone enjoyed the pancakes today and you'd think some had never had a pancake before!!!! 

The children have been enjoying their GAA sessions with Imelda this year. The children have show great progression in their GAA skills and I think the future of football and hurling in KK na d Offaly is going to be bright in the years to come!!!
