Science experiment
For home work we would like you to work on your projects for science week: March 21st-23rd.  As part of science week the children are challenged to take part in our science competition.  They will need to investigate a scientific problem or a science question that interests them. Ideally, the children will carry out an experiment, survey or test, rather than researching the answer to a question in books or on the internet. Children can present their work on up to A1 (84cm x 59cm) paper and can bring in objects or photographs to show the results of their experiments. Judges will be looking at:
- Presentation of work
- Knowledge and understanding
- Curiosity and scientific enquiry skills
                                       
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

-      Spellings (20mins) should be practised for a short time each day, using the words given in sentences.

You need to:

 • look at each word

• say the word

• copy the word in first space

• cover the words and try to write it from memory

• check to see if they are right

This week your spellings all contain the topic words you will need for our science lessons. Look up the meanings and try to use them in a sentence.
