Science
What an explosive Friday we had! It took a little time, but your volcanoes erupted magnificently. Here are the ingredients if you'd like to try it at home. Remember to add the baking soda last. Do you remember the chemical reaction that happens?

1/2 cup of warm water
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup dish soap
few drops of red food colouring
2 tablespoons of baking soda wrapped in a tissue



Math
Study the 6 times table. Some strategies:
Double the 3 times table e.g. 3 x 8 = 24 so 6 x 8 = 48
Add 6 to the 5 times table e.g. 5 x 6 = 30 so 6 x 6 = 30 + 6 = 36

Please learn your "squares"
2 x 2=4
3 x 3=9
4 x 4=16
5 x 5=25
6 x 6=36
7 x 7=49
8 x 8=64
9 x 9=81
10 x 10=100
11 x 11=121
12 x 12=144
