Reading
Anansi and the Pot of BeansAnansi ignored the note and went straight to the boiling
pot of beans. Using a wooden spoon, he quickly scooped
the delicious food straight into his mouth.Suddenly, he heard the sound of Grandma Spider coming
home. “Oh no!” Anansi cried. To hide what he had been
doing from his grandma, Anansi took the hat from his
head and filled it with boiling beans. Next, Anansi put
the bean-filled hat upon his head. Immediately, the beans
started to escape. Hot bean juice was now slipping from
Anansi’s face and down the back of his neck.
“What on earth are you doing?” asked his grandmother.Anansi’s head was so hot that he had started to wriggle and shake. “This is my
welcome home hat dance!” he replied.Grandma didn’t believe him and knew that he was up to mischief. Eventually,
Anansi threw the hat to the ground. However, the boiling bean juice had
destroyed his hair and made him completely bald! Shocked and not wanting
to face Grandma Spider, Anansi ran into the tall grass to hide. If you look
carefully, you might still see him hiding there today.

Anansi and the
Pot of Beans
It was a very hot day and Anansi the spider was bored.
“I’ll go and visit Grandma Spider. She’ll give me something to
do,” he said to himself.
Anansi knocked on the door of Grandma’s house and greeted her with
a big hug. “Grandma! It’s so nice to see you!”
Grandma, who was worried that Anansi was up to no good, asked him,
“What are you doing here?”
Anansi explained that he was bored and needed
something to stop him from getting into trouble.
Grandma told him that she needed some beans planting
in the garden. She took Anansi to a patch of soil and
described what he needed to do. Then, she said, “I forgot
to mention that I’m making your favourite spicy beans
for lunch. If you do a good job, I’ll let you have some.”
Anansi was so excited. Grandma Spider’s spicy beans were his favourite meal.
All he could think about was eating the delicious beans. With the sun beating
down upon him, Anansi started to lose concentration. He had done a terrible job
of planting the beans but he hadn’t noticed. All he could think about were those
delicious beans and how he wanted to eat them. Eventually, Anansi gave in and
made his way into the house. There was a note waiting for him:
Anansi, I have gone to the shop for some spices. Do NOT
touch the beans until I return. They are VERY hot.

British Science Week: Our Diverse Planet
Science is all about studying things to see how they
work. In a science lesson, you might carry out an
investigation.
Science has inspired people to invent lots of amazing
things. Without science, we would not have cars,
computers or even electricity.
What Is Science?
This year, it has been 200 years since the content of Antarctica was first seen
and recorded. Antarctica is a place where many scientists and engineers work.
Antarctica is home to a wide variety of interesting animals including penguins
and seals.
Scientists who work in Antarctica need to wear thick, insulated clothes to keep
them warm. Most people who work in Antarctica live in places called research
stations. These buildings are cleverly designed so that people can live in such a
cold place. Some even have libraries inside them!
Diverse Places
British Science Week is an exciting event which lasts for ten days. Each year,
over a million people across the country take part in different activities.
This year, the theme for British Science Week is ‘Our Diverse Planet’. The theme
was chosen to get people to think about how much variety there is in the world
around them. This could be looking at how animals, plants and people can all
be different.
What Is British Science Week?
Some of the animals which are found in Antarctica have adapted to blend in
with the snowy ground. This is called camouflage. Different
types of camouflage can be seen all over the world.Diverse Animals

The Mystery of the Crushed
Chocolate Eggs
It’s nearly Easter and a chocolate catastrophe has happened: all of the chocolate eggs were
ready in the Easter Bunny’s workshop but when he went in to do the final check, he found them
all crushed! Why would someone crush the eggs? The culprit needs to be found and new eggs
need to be made so that the celebrations can continue.
As the Detective Chief Inspector, it is your job to find out who crushed the eggs. Your officers
have taken down the names and descriptions of the thirty bunnies who were making chocolate
eggs in the workshop today.
There are also five top-secret clues that have been left. To crack the case, you will need to solve
each clue and check the information against the list of names.
Good luck!

Digestive System InvestigationYou will need:• Wheat biscuits cereal• Orange juice• A small, clear plastic bag
• A pair of tights• A metal dish• Two paper cups
Instructions1. Place several wheat biscuits into the plastic bag (stomach).
2. Pour a small cup of orange juice (the stomach acids) and some water (saliva) into the bag.
3. Squeeze the bag until the contents are mushy. This represents food being broken down in
the stomach.4. Carefully, pour the contents of the ‘stomach’ into one leg of the tights (small intestine).
5. Squeeze the tights over the dish. The liquid that pours out represents the nutrients our
body needs. 6. The leftover food in the tights is the waste that is no longer needed by the body. Cut a hole
in the bottom of a paper cup (the large intestine) and place the solidified waste inside.
7. Insert another cup on top of the waste. Use it to push the waste through the hole in the
bottom of the first cup. Your body has now got rid of what it does not need!

Why Soap Works Experiment
You will need:
• A bowl
• Some water
• A sprinkle of black pepper (or another spice)
• Liquid hand soap
• A hand towel
• A camera (optional)
1
Fill the bowl with water, but not all the way to the top.
2Sprinkle some black pepper on to the surface of the water. You should
see the black pepper floating.
3Test 1: Dip your finger into the centre of the bowl of water. Watch
what happens to the pepper and record this.
In this experiment, you are going to find out why soap works and
why it is better than using just water to wash your hands.
In the experiment, the surface of the water in the bowl represents
your hands. The pepper represents harmful dirt and germs that
need to be washed away.
There are two tests in this experiment. They will show you what
happens when you wash your hands with and without soap.
