Welcome to Room 7/8's blog. We have 19 wonderful year 1 children in our classroom. We think we are super lucky because we have two teachers! Mrs Forsyth teaches us in the morning and in the afternoons Mrs Fairweather teaches us while Mrs Forsyth takes Reading Recovery. Our lovely teacher aides Jody and Ameena help us too! Thanks for visiting our blog...we would love you to leave a comment.

Mmmmm Butter!!!
As part of our Science unit on Marvellous Milk we made butter and observed the changes that happen when the cream is turned into butter. We made the butter by half filling a jar with cream and shaking it till it split into butter and whey. We also looked at how to speed up the process and put marbles in one of the jars to see if it made a difference - and it did! The marbles churned the butter faster than shaking alone.
Moving Milk
On Thursday we did a science experiment called moving milk. We put food colouring into a shallow dish of milk and observed what happened when we added a drop of dishwashing detergent. It was exciting watching the colours move and swirl around.
