SKITTLES RAINBOW SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
Why do skittles make a rainbow? Skittles are made with colourful dyes and sugar. The warm water dissolves this dye and sugar and they move towards a place where there is less dye and sugar, in this case, the middle of the plate! We call this process diffusion.

Junk Art in the Junior room
What is Junk Art? Junk Art is open-ended, child-led and creative. Children create their own art using items you might put in your recycling bin. “Creative play involves children exploring and using their bodies and materials to make and do things and to share their feelings, ideas and thoughts.
Christmas Shoe Box Appeal
Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal is an annual campaign that delivers gifts straight into the hands of children affected by poverty. Often these shoebox gifts are the only gift that a child will receive at Christmas and the joy that they bring is incredible. The following is an example:
Marius in Romania is 5 years old and we found him at the window of his house, watching the kids on the street playing. We called him but he told us that he doesn’t have shoes so he has to stay inside. He was so happy to find toys in his Christmas Shoebox! He couldn’t believe it was all for him!
Thank you for donating to this worthy cause - you make a difference.
