Welcome back for the final term of the year! We have had an exciting first few days back. It has been exciting to hear about what you were up to over the last few weeks as well as settle back into learning at school.

Firstly I want to
Welcome to
​Room 1 Olivia!
We hope you have enjoyed your first few full days at school!!

Some of you may have also seen (or heard about) the new addition to our classroom. Over the next 28 days we will be hatching eggs! So far we have learnt about the many different animals that lay eggs and talked about the different eggs we have in our room. I look forward to the continued conversations and interest in another 'change' learning opportunity.

Pancakes and Waffles!

18/6/2019

Like I mentioned in the previous post, today was an exciting day. This afternoon we continued with our kitchen chemistry.

Picture

We read the story Pancakes, Pancakes! by Eric Carle.
In the story the boy Jack wanted to have a big pancake for his breakfast, but first had to help his mum get all the ingredients.
In the story Jack had to harvest grain for flour, collect eggs from the chicken coop, help milk a cow, churn the butter and make a fire to cook the pancakes on.
As we read the story we talked about the differences and and where we got the ingredients from that we used today.

Then we made our own batter, but changed the way we cooked it. We ended up making pancakes and waffles. We were on the look out to see what was different and what was the same.

Today for our Kitchen Chemistry Room 1 made Popcorn! We talked about how it changes from a popcorn kernel (with a tiny droplet of water inside), and when it gets hot the water changes to steam and POP!

Yuan - for completing stage 2/3 of his Mad Maths Minute!
​
Heitor - for working hard to listen to the teachers, and always sharing his smile and enthusiasm for school.

Today we have been talking about the ‘odd one out’. What it was that didn’t belong. Then we sorted some instruments.

Picture

After lunch R2 showed us what they have been doing for science.
They had made their own universal indicator and used it to test if things were an acid or a base.
Pink = acid, green/blue = base
When we went back into R1 we talked about the details we learnt.

Picture

We finished off our day with some music, continuing to use the instruments from maths time. Making patterns and copying them. Then we even looked at some musical notes and copied the rhythm they were making.

Over the weekend another one of our butterflies hatched and took flight. One more chrysalis is becoming transparent and will soon be ready to hatch (hopefully this time when we can see is at school).

Tahi (our one-eyed tadpole) is fast becoming a frog!! Our froglets tail is smaller every time I look at it!

On Monday we were talking about tadpoles and the stages that they grow in. We still have some questions to answer and find out but soon we will also start learning about frogs!
