This week the Belle Vue/Newport Federation is busy celebrating science week with an exciting range of experiments for all the children. Mrs Fieldgate, Newport's able child co-ordinator, organised a special "hands on " fun bubble workshop for Year 2, ably assisted by some super scientists from Newport Year 6.
The workshop enabled the children to learn how to make cuboid bubbles instead of the usual spheres. ( A task that required quite a bit of practise!).
The children also carried out an investigation as to which solution made the best bubbles.
Yes- Fairy is the best ! Year 2 also learnt that water has a skin- like layer called surface tension and lots of insects like pondskaters and water boatmen use this to move around on the top of water in ponds and lakes.
Pupils also experimented using bubbles to create interesting paintings.
The afternoon finished off with the children singing that old favourite "I'm forever blowing bubbles".Thank you to all who took part, both children and adult helpers
