STEM II: the skittles experiment

Hi family!

 Hope you are enjoying this Science Week!

 One of our recent experiments at home was the Skittles experiment. It can get any easier than this!


You just need a bag of Skittles, a glass of warm/hot water ( it is suggested to try water at different temperatures so you can actually see its effect on the experiment!) and if possible a white plate. 
As you can see in the pictures, just lay out the skittles in any order or design you wish. Then simply add a bit of the water and wait for the magic to happen!
Try different patterns and combinations for new effects!
Hope you enjoy!

English Books for Sant Jordi


Roald Dahl is a classic, and you have probably already read or seen some of his most popular stories such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Matilda. You will find other great titles such as Fantastic Mr Fox or the Enormous Crocodile, shorter stories full of fun and originality.

 Rod Campbell has some great and funny books for younger children, such as Dear Zoo...the main character writes a letter to a Zoo asking for a pet and ....well, you need to read the book to discover what happens. He also publish a fantastic animal ABC book and the Noisy Farm. 

Eric Carle is a fantastic author, full of originality and creativity. We love Brown Bear, Brown Bear or the Hungry Caterpillar. You will definetly get it right with these books, specially for toddlers and preschool.

Dr. Seuss has bestsellers all around the globe that are over 50 years old, but still engaging and beautiful. The Lorax or Top Cat are amazing, and highly recommended.

Julia Donaldson is probably one of the most popular writers with a never ending collection of books and stories. We are great fans of the Gruffalo, but also enjoy her classic The Magic Paintbrush. And if you want to help your preschool and primary students, there is a fantastic new collection Songbirds Phonics, with a wide range of books and levels, aiming at working on various phonetic sounds. They come with funny pictures and instructions for parents or tutors on how to help children enjoy.

Hope you have a great day, week and Saint George celebration! After all, Saint George is the Patron Saint of England and children celebrate his legend as a knight in shiny armour!
