Bubbles

Today we had some scientists visit our school from 'Science in a Van'.

They taught us that if we take two things and mix it together we make a mixture. 

Mixtures can separate like when you mix water and oil together or, they can react like when you mix baking soda and vinegar.

Room 5 got very excited when they saw bubble mixture in action.




When we got back to our classroom we explored more bubbles. ( Parents, I apologise now for the hounding you may receive from the children wanting to make the bubble blower in the photos that follow.)





We all agreed science was exciting.Today was a great day!

The Swamp Eggs

Last Friday we integrated reading and writing using the big book, The Swamp Eggs, by Jo Windsor.








We love writing.


On Friday, Room 5 get to plan how they want to spend their morning, after they have finished some Fun Day Friday activities.

Look at how popular writing is in Room 5.

This is Molly's story that she wrote all by herself without any help. 
We are anxiously waiting to find out what noise David heard.
Kahn is proudly showing us the story he also wrote  by himself without any help.Way to go Kahn!

 Look at how well Aden is counting.Notice how clever he as at placing random numbers in the correct place. He knows that after 9 is 10.


Milan was super fast at sequencing her numbers and matching the correct group to the appropriate 

number.

Weaving

This afternoon in art, Room 5 used repeated patterns to help them learn to weave.
They said,"under,over,under,over,under,over......."

The children worked cooperatively with a friend.They had to take turns and check to see if their partner had used the correct pattern.





Parents,you will have to wait until assembly next week to see how they look.

A Busy day for our new learners.


This week 3 new learners joined Room 5. Welcome to school P.J, Aden and Milan O.


Today we shared a story called Hairy Bear by Joy Cowley.

Here are our new learners working cooperatively with their new friends to create a collage of the character, Hairy Bear.
