All you need is your skipping rope, a bit of space and lots of energy. Moving your body everyday is so important. Why not try this indoors on a rainy day!

Leaf rubbings
You will need:
- paper

Science
with Ms. Keogh

Today we are going to do 2 fun science experiments! For these experiments you will need: ​
Experiment One (Volcano):
1. Vinegar
2. Baking Soda
3. Food colouring (optional)
4. Spoon
5. Small glass
Experiment Two (Balloon)
1. Vinegar
2. Baking Soda
3. Balloon
​4. Water Bottle

Remember: In science, Vinegar is an acid and baking soda is a base. When an acid and a base come together a chemical reaction occurs!

​Before you watch the video try and predict what you think happens when vinegar and baking soda are mixed together...

If you like, after your experiments you can draw a picture of what happened. You could even try and label the picture and write about it!

Art
with Ms. O'Shea

Butterfly life Cycle

You will need:
  • A paper plate
  • Paper/card
  • Scissors
  • A ruler
  • Glue
  • A leaf
  • Pasta pieces
  • Grains of rice
