Visit to Tip Top

Going on the bus with Room 5 was a fun way to travel.


Here we are in front of one of the original old ice cream trucks.


We weren't allowed to take photos inside the factory. We just had to remember all the interesting things we saw about how milk changes into ice cream.  But when we were in the media room we got to choose a free ice cream from the freezer full of icecreams...


...then we got to sit on these fun little seats...

...and couches...

...and benches to enjoy our ice cream...
...with our classmates, friends and parents...
...while we watched a movie that told us all about...
...the Tip Top ice cream factory and lots of...
...interesting facts.

After we finished our ice cream it was time for more fun!







Which was playing on their playground of course while Room 5 had their turn to watch the movie and choose their yummy ice cream.
After a good play, it was time for lunch at their conveniently located picnic tables before going back to school on the bus.

We had some very tired 'little critters' at the end of the day. But they all had a better understanding of the process of change. How milk from a cow gets changed into ice cream.

We are Scientists

We enjoyed learning what different scientists do. We learnt about the scientific method when recording and conducting experiments. We predicted what would happen when we put different coloured water into containers and linked them with paper towels. Our first experiment didn't work out the way we thought it would! This experiment 'walking water' linked in with our art, learning about how primary and secondary colours are made. We made some more 'magical colour mixes' with our food colouring and milk experiment... no one predicted what would happen there! We learnt about the enamel on our teeth and how it is like the shell on an egg. We soaked an egg in fizzy drink and saw how its colour changed. Then we got to brush it with toothpaste and saw the transformation.  We will all remember to brush our teeth! We loved our exploding film canisters. They did not do what we expected!  When we understood what happened when we mixed an acid wit

Our Art

Image
Look at our whiteboard covered with lovely sunflowers!  James' Nana is an artist. She came in and taught us about warm and cool colours. She brought sunflowers with her for us to observe with our artist's eyes.  Then we coloured in some outlines using oil pastels choosing warm colours. We also experimented with blending some of the pastel colours.      If we finished early we could colour a whole sunflower with stalk and leaves. We could also draw our own sunflower with petals. Thank you, Mrs Evans 😊

Fun Water Day

Image
We had been learning about keeping safe in the sun and working together as a team.  We made up some amazing teams, chose names, made wristbands and chose our costumes. In the morning we did activities in the gym.  Some of the Intermediate students came to help supervise our games.  They were AWESOME thanks 'blue shirts' we couldn't have had so much fun without your help! In the afternoon we had activities out on the field and lots of parents came to look, help and join in.  Some of the challenges involved water....and there was quite a lot of 'getting wet' but nobody minded! It was all so much fun.  Thanks, Mr Williams for helping us with the hoses and joining in the fun too. It was such a fun way to play and stay safe in the sun and with water.  We discovered lots of strategies for working well in a team too. Thanks to all the adults who came to help...we couldn't have fun days like this without all your help and support.
