Pictures and Painting

 We experimented with using different materials to paint with.

We used brushes and forks and cotton buds to create these wonderful dandelion pictures.

Some of this picture of our favourite story characters is missing. 

We had to complete the picture to make the characters look like themselves again!

Going Batty!

 

We had folded a piece of paper in half  and cut out half a bat - look what we made!

We have been studying about the water cycle - to explain evaporation we boiled a pot to see the steam rise. The pot lid acted like a cloud, catching the water vapour and turning it back into water drops- ready to rain down again.

Here is our picture of the water cycle. Next week we will dress the beebots up as water drops to show the water cycle in action.

Guitars

 We had a wonderful time designing, making and playing our guitars this week.

V week with Vegetable Soup and Volcanoes

 On Friday some of us bought cut up vegetables to school. We guessed what the vegetables were and added them to a big pot. Then we peeled some veges, Mrs Ward chopped them and they went into the pot too. There was a huge pot full. We loved the smell of our soup cooking and enjoyed a cup of deliciousness during lunch time. Some of us had 2 or 3 helpings! We had enough to share our soup with our big buddies and Room 18.

We enjoyed learning all about volcanoes this week. While our soup was cooking, we did an experiment to test which type of vinegar would make the best mock volcano. We found the brown vinegar reacted more quickly and the while vinegar reacted for longer. 

Fantastic Friday

 Friday lunchtime had something for everyone... it was a great day with lots of warm weather for playing, it was sausage sizzle day and we had a lunchtime disco.
