Investigating sources in History
The children have been learning about the different passengers aboard the Titanic and they have been super sleuths analysing sources from the Titanic. They were able to identify which picture gave us the best evidence for different statements about the Titanic.
Fruit Salad
The children in 1.2M put all their culinary skills to good use to make a delicious fruit salad. The children have very brave tastebuds. They were very happy to try the most exotic of fruits. Well done kids.

Which solution will decay the apple first?
Today, we took part in an experiment. We covered a piece of apple in a range of solutions (lemon juice, vinegar, sugar and salt) and we are going to observe the apple to see which solution decays the apple the most. We made predictions and we will conclude our...
The theory of evolution…
