Welford Year 3

On Tuesday 11th June 2019, Year 3 held their Business Enterprise event linked to The Gods and Mortals topic - everyone (including staff!) were very excited and we had lots of Greek themed things to sell. Mrs Begum-Wills organised a fruit hamper and Miss Williams created some cheese boards, (courtesy of Asda) as a raffle prize and the children iced cakes with Greek character toppers, sold crisps, biscuits and drinks, looked after the Greek dips and pitta bread, sold the photographs of their wonderful assembly and also sold the masks that they created in their D&T work.

Of course, volcanoes erupt so that's what we had to do. Using either bicarbonate of soda and vinegar or Coca-Cola and mentos, we sent froth shooting out of the volcanoes and they were incredibly impressive as well. Take a look at our experiments. We were astounded and had great fun in spite of some horribly damp weather.
