• Year 4 are Scientists

  Thu 23 Jan 2025 Mrs Phelan and Mrs Halpin-Power

  Year 4 have started their new science topic on animals including humans. We have started by looking at teeth and how different substances affect them. We have begun a science experiment where we have placed eggs in cola, vinegar, milk and water. We will observe changes over the week. We have also looked at the different teeth different animals have. 
  Well done Year 4. 

  

• Year 3 went to Aldi
