Sounds Amazing

On Monday, 16th November we visited the display at the museum called Sounds Amazing.
We learned about traditional Maori instruments. There were lots of activities we could try such as a piano to walk on, a slapper fone and chimes. We learned about sound waves and how vibrations cause sound.
Thanks to all our parent helpers who came with us.

Card Landscapes

For the last few weeks in art we have been designing and making card landscapes. We came up with our own theme and then we designed 3 stages in different heights. We used pastel for bright colours. They all looked amazing!

SEEDS

In Room 6, in term 4, we did some experiments on seeds. We started the experiments on Friday, 30th October. We wrote down what we thought seeds needed to germinate. Then, with our talking partner, we decided which one to test. We tested water, warmth, light and soil.
We planted bean seeds to test our experiments. We found out that seeds need water and warmth to germinate but they don't need soil and light. We were surprised.

PUPPET SHOW

This morning the whole school went to the puppet show of Rumpelstilskin.
Rumpelstilskin looked like he had a sun burnt nose. My favourite character
was the miller's daughter because she was pretty. My favourite part was
when the miller's daughter said, "Banana Sandwich!" when she was
guessing his name.
