There are some wonderful print outs and ideas on this link if anyone would like something. I know some people are having tea parties on Friday! If so, the bunting on here may be really useful!

Visit to School
Hi Everybody!
Yesterday we visited school to drop off Finley’s portrait. We have been using a lot of the lessons on BBC Bitesize and Oak Academy over the last few weeks. Finley is really enjoying them, especially the games! He also has a new found love of Spanish and has been beatboxing! Hope everyone is well. Xx

Hi Mrs Rose, hope you’re all keeping safe and well.

Last Friday Daniel had a special dinosaur-themed learning day 🦖 We used some brilliant learning resources available on the Natural History Museum’s website (thanks to Finley’s mum for the heads up!) I’ve attached some photos.
He’s been keeping busy these last couple of weeks doing some maths (Mr Marsh’s questions from last week plus some work on 2D & 3D shapes, angles, parallel and perpendicular lines) some literacy (clauses, commands, noun phrases), history using the Oak National Academy (the Norman Conquest) and some science with Dad about the geologic timeline!
He’s also been having plenty of fun trying to complete some of the Lego challenges and baking tasty treats 😋!!
Daniel wants me to give a big shout out to all his friends - he’s missing them loads!! 👋 Stay safe everyone x

My designs for a 4 course menu based on children's books.

Starter - mini Spaghetti made from wholemeal pasta to look more like worms - Mr Twit's wormy Spaghetti
Fish course - Sardines served for the penguin from Lost and Found
Main course - A Hogwarts Feast full of pies, vegetables and potatoes served with butterbeer!
Dessert - Ron Weasley's favourite treacle tart

I'm so hungry now :) I will make one of these dishes this week and stick it on here!

Stay safe everyone! Have a lovely week. Can't wait to see what you get up to.

How do different liquids affect our teeth?

How do different liquids affect our teeth?

# data[].attributes.body
I’d love to see some of you having a go at this! The results are quite fascinating. The shell stands in for a tooth so see what happens when you place an egg in with the liquid. Can’t wait to see what you find out. Maybe you could use other liquids not suggested on the website? Which do you think would be the worst liquid for teeth and why?

This fun tooth decay experiment with egg shells is all about teeth and how to keep them healthy. First we talked about how important it is to brush teeth everyday and then chatted about foods that are good for teeth and foods that aren't.

Sugary, sticky food is not good for teeth as it sticks to the surface, bacteria then break down the sugar to make acid which can damage teeth.
Did you know eating cheese at the end of a meal can help neutralise the acids in your mouth and reduce the chance of tooth decay?
Tooth Decay Demonstration

We used these giant teeth from The Consortium and some play dough to demonstrate plaque building up on teeth. The giant teeth made a great prop and really kept the children engaged for a long time.

The we made models of our mouth using more play dough, talking about the size and shape of teeth in our jaw.

Tooth decay experiment with egg shells

We can't experiment on our own teeth so are using eggs to represent them, as the shell of an egg is made of a similar substance to tooth enamel!

What you'll need for a tooth decay experiment:

Eggs

Jars

Water

Tea/Coffee

Fizzy flavoured drink

Vinegar

Toothpaste

Instructions

Pour the same amount of fizzy drink, vinegar, water and tea or coffee into your jars.

Add a whole raw egg still in it's shell to each, cover an extra egg with toothpaste and also place in tea/coffee.

Leave for approximately three days.

Remove the eggs.

Rinse the egg kept in vinegar and rub gently until the shell comes away.

Results of our tooth decay experiment with egg shells

You should see staining on both the fizzy drink and tea/coffee egg.

We found our toothpaste covered egg stained less than the non toothpaste covered egg.

The vinegar completely dissolved the eggshell, leaving just the membrane behind.

Why do teeth stain?

Tea is rich in tannins which stain teeth if they're not cleaned properly while cola and fizzy drinks are acidic as well as containing staining products.

Vinegar ( which is acidic) dissolves the calcium carbonate in the shell, leaving just the membrane intact. This very cool egg experiment lets you bounce an egg without it breaking!

Did you know you can make a strong bridge from eggshells?

Walk on raw eggs like Housing a Forest.

Make a model mouth using biscuits, marshmallows, jam and peanut butter. This disgusting activity is one of 60 Gross Science Experiments you can find in my latest book, GROSS SCIENCE.

Or, how about trying one of my other very eggy experiments!!

Extra background information for KS1 and KS2 Science

Teeth are not just for eating, animals often use them to defend themselves or to attack other animals.

Different shaped teeth have different purposes. Flat molars like humans have are for grinding and chewing food, while sharp canine teeth are for tearing food apart ( these are found in carnivores ) and large incisors for cutting and chopping grass ( found in herbivores ).

Caring for teeth

Cleaning teeth, using floss and mouthwash help keep teeth and gums free from plaque. Plaque is formed by bacteria feeding on the sugar left on the surface of teeth after eating.

Suitable for Early Years Foundation Stage

Physical Development → Health and self-care → ELG

Children know the importance for good health of physical exercise, and a healthy diet, and talk about ways to keep healthy and safe. They manage their own basic hygiene and personal needs successfully, including dressing and going to the toilet independently.

Key Stage 2 - teeth test

Describe the importance for humans of exercise, eating the right amounts of different types of food, and hygiene.

Libby tried to turn an egg into slime. After seeing a video on TikTok on how they turned an egg into slime using vinegar, flour and salt she had to try it. Save to say it didn’t fully work out how she planned but it did dissolve the shell, so she was happy

Hi Mrs Rose
I’ve been learning science and history today. I’ve looked at forces and magnets. I beat my dad twice at the magnet game! I also did some fun science experiments in the garden 😁 My mum will post the instructions on here in case any of my friends want to try them. I also started a story about living in the Stone Age.

Last week we had a family competition online with my grandma, Auntie, Uncle and Cousins to make something interesting from a toilet roll holder. We asked people to vote on Facebook. My sisters fairy house was the winner! With dad’s lockdown ladybird a close second! I did a football theme commentary box! Connor :-)

Morning Mrs Rose and year 3 class! Happy April Fools day! This morning mummy tried to pretend that there was a lion in our lounge - I believed it but only for a few seconds! I did an April Fools trick on daddy using a treasure map and pretending it was from Black Beard. The treasure map led to some pretend poo!

Last week we did some of the spelling, grammar and maths papers but also did some crafts and learnt about the human body. We drew round my body and added names of body parts!

I also did a music lesson by FaceTime with Zack!

Hey up to all the lads! Hello to the girls too from Connor x

Hi everyone! Thought we’d post something about what Dan’s been up to at ‘home school’. Although he’s missing his friends, he seems to have been enjoying being at home and we’ve not killed each other (yet...!) so we’re doing quite well. He’s been doing PE with Joe every morning like lots of his friends. It’s a shame the weather’s not been as sunny this week, fingers crossed it brightens up again and we can enjoy the Easter ‘holiday’ at home 😁 I’ve attached some pics of the work Dan’s been doing at home. Have to admit Mrs Rose, I’m not liking the look of the division sums you’ve posted - is this something they’ve covered? Hope everyone’s staying safe and well x

Feel free to post on here - things you are up to, if you want any ideas, if you want to share what's happening in your area! It would be lovely to keep in touch!

Mrs Rose :)
