The Candyman


 We went to visit "The Candyman". It was amazing we actually got to make our very own lollypop.
We took a vote to choose our flavour - most people wanted watermelon.




 We saw the sugar and glucose come to the boil it has to be 143 degrees before it will boil.
Then the candyman poured the liquid out of the pot onto his special table. Steam (gas) came up, and slowly the liquid changed back into a solid as it cooled down, it was like magic!


The candyman added colours to make it look lovely, he used red, yellow and green.

He cut us all a strip, we had to twist it to make it longer then we formed it into a lollypop and stuck our stick in. We have to save it for home time to eat, but we got a little bit to eat, it was still warm = YUM!
Then the Candyman played a trick  on Mrs S and gave her a sour bit, it bought tears to her eyes = YUCK!

ICE

We experimented with ice. We watched it melt from a solid back to a liquid. It was freezing cold in our hands. When we squeezed it  hard it popped out of our hands  like it was trying to escape.


Some had glitter in it, some had flowers frozen inside, it sparkled in the sun.
Then the best bit. We got to smash it with a hammer. It shot across the ground like a bullet from gun.
It was soooo much fun.
