SCIENCE WITH STERLING

On Monday we had a science session with Sterling. We looked at magnets and what they could do.
We learned that the whole Earth is one big magnet. It was great fun experimenting with the magnets and finding out what they can do.

Room 6 Menagerie

We have been lucky the last week with lots of animal visitors in our room.
We have had a lop-eared rabbit, a 12 week Old English sheepdog puppy,
two Wyandotte chickens and two skinks.

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.

Book Week

To end our book week we came dressed as characters from some of our favourite books. We had a school parade in the hall with a book prize for the best character from each class. We also had prizes for the literacy quizzes and drawings of book characters. It was a great way to end the term.
