Any scientist out there know why?

Folk Dancing

2010-08-19T20:28:00.000-07:00

We had great fun today with all the Junior classes doing some Folk Dancing.

What we observed.

2010-08-19T20:22:00.000-07:00

The shell had completely disappeared around the cooked and the raw egg.

Unfortunately there are down sides to being a cutting edge scientist, as someone found out!!

The Great Egg Experiment

2010-08-19T19:35:00.000-07:00

We put a cooked egg and a raw egg into white vinegar.
We predicted what would happen.
"It might hatch," said Willa.

"It might evaporate," said Lucy

"It might take the colour off the shell," said William

What did happen!!

2010-08-12T17:34:00.000-07:00

This week we have been looking at the letter G. Check out our 'Groovy Glasses'.

Japanese visitors

2010-08-01T03:11:00.000-07:00

On Thursday we had some students from Japan visit our school. They showed us how to eat with chop sticks. They dressed up into a kimono, and they made this box and swan out of origami.

Week 2

2010-08-01T02:57:00.000-07:00

This week we have been continuing our unit on Science experiments. Miss Burdett tried lots of really interesting things last week and I can see the children have learnt lots of new scientific words like........

Static electricity and friction!!

This week we tried an experiment using salt water. We placed a cup in a glass bowl full of salt water. Then we covered it with glad wrap.

We wondered what might happen if the bowl was left in the sun for several days.

Some of the children came up with some great ideas.

Term 3

2010-08-01T02:51:00.000-07:00

We are all looking forward to a busy term in Room 5.

We had forgotten to write down which direction to go in
SO..........
We wrote a new set of instructions and this is what happened.

The day we ate and dressed like Jesus

2010-05-30T18:37:00.000-07:00

Catholic schools day

2010-05-30T18:24:00.000-07:00

On Catholic schools day we invited friends and family into our classroom for the morning.
We made these neat masks and wrote some instructions on "How to make a mask."

Our cool containers

2010-03-23T20:18:00.000-07:00

We made our containers out of reused baked bean and fruit tins.
We used old magazines and wrapping paper to decorate them.

Reuse and recycle, that's us!!!

Mae said, "I am going to put twisties in my container.

Gina said, " I am going to put twisties in my container.
