Science Experiments

This week we carried out a few science experiments. These are the ones we did in our class.
We experimented with Static Electricity. A big thank-you to Mrs Cammell for lending us the PVC pipes. We also looked at Optical Illusions, viewing some on line and then seeing if we could get the fish in the bowl and the bird in the cage. Lastly we made Sherbet so we could see another chemical reaction. We discussed what we see, think, and wonder. Lastly we commented on the taste and viewed on line how sherbet works. Science was fun.

PTA Tile

These are some of the children's art work which will be used to make into a mug, a coaster or a magnet if you are able to and wish to support this PTA Fundraiser. We drew simple cats and coloured in sections with contrasting colours. The felts were great for making the colours vibrant.

Room 24 Art display

Here are some examples of our art work that was displayed in the hall for this year's Art exhibition

A big thank-you to Mrs Michael's for helping with the butterflies and mounting and  to Mrs Zhu and Renee for helping with the printing and to Mrs Bannister for supplying and painting the boxes and for supplying the card. Thank-you to Mrs Varga for mounting our Colour Robber Art. 

A great team effort that helped show case our wonderful Art work.

Part B ARTS WEEK

Using Glitter Gel Hama Beads we made butterflies which will be displayed 

in the Arts Exhibition

Using cardboard we cut and constructed a flower which was later printed in 

white onto black paper.

Mrs Dijkstra read us the big book "Cass the Colour Robber" we drew a scene from the story where all the colour had been zapped.  Our next blog post will show our second drawing where the Colour Robber has a change of heart and returns the colour, 

making everything rainbow.

Fergal is Fuming

Mrs Dijkstra read us a story called Fergal is Fuming. Fergal is a dragon who gets mad. His fiery temper gets him into trouble. He needs to find ways to cool down. His friends suggest that he could count to ten. He could tell a friend. He could watch the sunset. He could find a quiet spot and make a big noise. He could lie back and have a big stretch. He could run fast. At the end of the story he finds interesting ways to use his fire. What do you think that might be? Maybe there will be times when we could use some of Fergal's cool down ideas?
