We have had a very busy and exciting couple of weeks back in Dolphins! Last week, we were thrilled to welcome a scientist from Fizz Pop. We had a session to learn how to be crazy chemists! Using a universal pH tester, we explore the acidity and alkaline content of different liquids and then we mixed a few of those substances together and created some slime. It was messy work mixing all of the ingredients together but everyone really enjoyed it and were thrilled to have a pot of slime to take home.

This week, we enjoyed going on our brilliant school trip to Magdalene Environmental Trust. Here we got to explore in the river Axe. We caught living things from the river bed and used classification keys to work out what they were. We measured lots of other information from the river as well such as the width, depth and speed. We all enjoyed the chance to carry out this field work. As well as this, we learnt more about habitats and food chains by playing games and completing different activities.
