Safe on the Junior Playground

We went out to the Junior playground today and practised playing safely and sensibly. We take turns on the flying fox. If the handle gets stuck in the middle of the flying fox we can only do 2 things:
1 go and ask a duty teacher to get it back for us...OR
2 ask a senior student who can reach to get it for us.
We play safely on the slides and all the other fun parts of the playground that we climb on.

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

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.
