Science

Our Friday at Welcome primary was very messy but enjoyable. We started our day by teaching the Grade 3s how to make exploding volcanos and playing element bingo with them. We went back and forth between two Grade 3 classes and done the volcano experiment with one class and a lava lamp experiment with the other.



After we taught the kids, they went out for interval. As soon as we walked into the playground and they seen our bottle green hoodies, a massive swarm of children would run up to you wanting high fives and giving you TONNES of hugs!! In the middle of the play ground there was two black bins where they would bang and open the lid of the bins to make music. It was great! They started chanting Scotland and even singing their own songs.😊The pupils took forever to go to their classes once the bell had rang, as we are all outside and they just wanted to play with us. So we had to rush quickly back into the school so they followed before they miss their next class.



We cleaned our messy bottles and went to a Grade 2 class where we done the lava lamp experiment, alongside the bingo. Personally I think the experiment went better with the Grade 2s as they were younger and just so excited to see the bubbles!! The bingo also went down really well as they were so competitive and just so eager to win.



After we finished our science lessons we said goodbye to the kids, which is so hard because they think so much of you. However, once we told them we were coming back on Monday their faces lit up again! Today was a very successful day at Welcome and a very good day overall. So we are all happy at the backpack!😁
