Leaf rubbings
You will need:
- Paper
- Crayons
(I used twistables but a thick crayon on its side would be better)

Don't forget to take pictures of your leaf rubbings and send them to your teacher.

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. Washing-Up Liquid

5. Spoon
6. 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 is 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
Today we will do an art activity based on the life cycle of a butterfly. Many of us know what butterflies are, but do we know where they come from? Watch the powerpoint video below to learn more and then get ready for some creativity! Enjoy :)
You will need:
  • A paper plate
  • Paper/card
  • Scissors
  • A ruler
  • Glue
  • A leaf
  • Pasta pieces
  • Grains of rice
  • Colours/pencils
This is the list needed for my lesson, you can make your own version with what you have in your house! In fact, I have posted some other versions below!
