Year 4 have had an amazing introduction to their next science topic of “Changing Matter” that they will be starting after half term by a visit to the National Glass Centre.

We performed a range of experiments to see if our predictions would be correct when water was added to different substances and watched how glass is blown to create a beautiful wavy bowl after heating it to temperatures of 1,100 degrees!

To end a brilliant day, we planned and made our own glass designs that will be fired in the ovens at 780 degrees and collected over the holidays,

We are so excited for next term!
