Today we have a science challenge! Your challenge is to make the best bubble mixture. 

Recipe: washing up liquid, water, a spoonful of sugar and glycerine (if you have it). 

Bubble wand: any object with a hole eg. a loop of a keyring, a pipe cleaner bent into a circle, a hula hoop or a curtain ring.

Does more washing up liquid make better bubbles?

Which made the biggest bubble?

Can you make any other recipes to make bubbles?

Your next challenge, should you choose to accept it, is P.E!

You must create your own game that involves throwing and catching. Your game can have individual players or team players. It must have a 'goal' in order to score for example this could be a hoop, a person has to catch it in a certain area. You can create your own rules eg. can you move with the ball? can you use any type of throw?

Today we have a creative challenge for maths! Lucky for us, we have recently learnt all about shape so we are going to be brilliant at this challenge! Can you create 2D or 3D shapes using items from your house or your garden? An example could be a square out of sticks or a cube out of spaghetti and marshmallows.
