We continued our microbiology project today, but first it was PE with Joe...
 |
| It was fancy dress Friday and they were pleased to see Joe dressed as King Arthur (with a couple of mini dragons too) |
 |
| Ptolemy was thrilled to receive a new Batman figure from Bumble (although they were all convinced it was Black Panther) |
 |
| Zachary finished his microbes comprehension |
 |
| The others continued with colouring pictures of microbes |
 |
| Daddy came to assist in his break |
 |
| We watched a video about Coronavirus |
 |
| Jory had a go at his mini 80 piece puzzle of a sports car |
 |
| Watching baby shark singing about washing your hands |

Daddy came to help
|
 |
| Making our own models of a flu virus using play dough and painted cotton buds |
 |
| Ptolemy admires his creations |
 |
| Tahlia's virus |
 |
| Jory enjoyed having a go too |
 |
| Finished! |
 |
| We played two microbe related running around games, firstly the white blood cells had to track down the virus to kill it; Tahlia was annoyed that she was found quickly |
 |
| It took a while to find Zachary when he was the virus |
 |
| Daddy was very good at hiding - they found him in the wardrobe |
 |
| The second game involved the virus trying to replicate by catching and tagging host cells (who then helped catch other cells) |
 |
| One host cell was hard to catch |
 |
| We watched a Mystery Science lesson about doughnuts |
 |
| Jory loved colouring viruses so much he decided to replicate them |
 |
| Tahlia's daily challenges won her a pair of glasses for her character |
 |
| We did some of our own experiments, mainly related to helping stop the spread of disease |
 |
| Spraying some coloured water onto card to demonstrate how the saliva can spread out as it travels through the air when you sneeze |
 |
 |
| We mixed cinnamon with oil and rubbed it on our hands (the cinnamon represents virus particles) |
 |
| We tried to wash it off with just water, but the particles stayed on our hands |
 |
| Soap was very good at getting it off and we managed to remove all the particles |
 |
| Next we demonstrated how microbes are transferred to other things very easily, using flour |
 |
| Washing the wedgits in the soapy water |
 |
| The pepper and soap experiment: here we applied soap to the end of a finger and dipped it into a bowl of 'viruses' (black pepper on water) |
 |
| We poured paint onto paper and blew through straws to spread it and talked about how just breathing close to someone could spread a virus |
 |
| Our finished works of art; Ptolemy is keen to turn his into a monster |
 |
| We played an online story based virus puzzle game |
 |
| We printed off some hand washing instruction sheets to put up in our bathrooms |
 |
| We played a game called 'Bacteria in the Cafeteria', which involved answering questions about microbes |
 |
| We learnt more about cells |
 |
| Tahlia was very pleased to receive her new journal in the post today; she'll be using it to practise her writing each morning |
