WOW, our production is so close now... The children have been working so hard at learning the songs and actions for their scene!

Thank you to all of you who have bought along your costumes, keep them coming though as we do need them for next week!

Today we were busy being tidy kiwi's along with Room 4.

 We were helping clean up our enviroment!

We found LOTS of rubbish, and we didn't have to go very far!

We were very surprised by the amount of rubbish we picked up.

 

During Maths we have been exploring patterns. We then made our own 'snakes' with patterns.

We had to choose the coloured paper we wanted and then create a pattern.

Here are some pictures of us working hard to create a pattern for our snakes body.

 

During reading, we have been reading the poem 'Mmmmm, Popcorn!' by Philippa Werry.

Then on Friday we got to make some popcorn in the popcorn machine!

We watched the popcorn change from a little popcorn kernel into a fresh, warm piece of popcorn that we could eat!

Here are some ideas that were shared as the children watched what was happening...

"It looks like a waterfall" - Kayden

"It smells like the popcorn at the movies" - Emilia   

"It's making a bang, bang noise like a gun" - Nathanial

"It's going into the bowl fast!" - Daniel

"It's changing into popcorn" Jacob

"It's making a mountain of popcorn in the bowl"

"It's shooting out" - Vaydim

We made JELLY! We watched the steam (gas) come out of the jug, and Miss Thomson poured the hot water (liquid) into bowls for us. We then stirred and mixed the jelly crystals (solid) with the hot water until they dissolved.
The next day, we ate our jelly. It had changed from a liquid into a solid.

Please read someof our Jelly Stories, you can find them under 'A1 Writing'.

Experiment

Liquid to Gas Experiment

Check out our photos that Miss Thomson took while we did this experiment... We watched the liquid (water) change into a gas (steam).

Unfortunately, the photos have not saved in order... But you could try to sequence the photos in the correct order...
