I started the day with an experiment to investigate the effects of coke, vinegar and water on egg shells.  This is part of my topic on TEETH. Here is the video!

I intend to take a photo of the egg shells everyday so I can if there are any changes.  I could already see that the eggs shells in vinegar had lots of bubbles and a froth has been created.  The cling film was even bulging!  I think this means there is a chemical reaction because the vinegar is dissolving the shells and producing gas. You can see this on the picture.

I then did the Oak National lessons.  First was Maths - no Mr Barton!!! It was a new topic on shapes and a new teacher too.  She went through different shapes and the key words we should use to describe them.

We also started a new topic in English - biographies.  I read a biography about Frida Kahlo.  I like this artist and I have a big picture of her on my wall in my bedroom.  I then answered the comprehension questions.

I then did a lesson on sustainability. I learned about why electric cars are more sustainable than petrol cars and why paper bags are more sustainable than plastic bags.  I was very shocked to learn that a huge amount of plastic is polluting the seas and oceans it is the same as a garbage truck load of plastic being dumped into the ocean every minute!

When I had finished my Oak National lessons I did some research into teeth:  how many we have, types of teeth, I coloured a diagram and added labels to show the parts of a tooth and I also made a model of a tooth.  Here is my work:

For the final lesson of the day I did ART.  I was introduced to the artist Henri Matisse and collage.  After I learned about him I made my own free shapes and made different pictures. Here is what I made:
