Glitter and blue food colouring were added to their bouncy slime accompanied by many happy smiles along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Year 8 will be joined today by members of Oxford University to learn all about extracting chloroplasts from spinach and a host of lab techniques too. The whole school is eagerly awaiting the arrival of our chicks; Year 1 is looking after the eggs and we are all very excited about seeing them hatch later in the week. Watch this space for the &#8216;chick cam&#8217; coming soon!<\/p>\n<p>We have lots of fascinating activities planned for the week: Years 1 and 2 will learn about forces with boat building and rockets, Year 3 will go marbles building marble runs, Year 4 will learn how their brain helps them play cricket, Year 5 will investigate density with some visitors from St Helen&#8217;s, Year 6 will take part in a Forces show and K&#8217;Nex workshop and Year 7 will investigate the diversity of our fingerprints.<\/p>\n<p>Follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/abingdon_prep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abingdonprep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/abingdonprep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a> to see what the boys get up to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 March 2020 Science week at Abingdon Prep got underway with the boys in Reception enjoying making slime with Year 8.
