All Black Visit

We were so lucky to have a visit by three All Blacks last week.  We dressed up in black and gave them a big friendly welcome.  Our school Kapa Haka did an amazing Haka and we had a quiz.  The South school team won the quiz but the All Blacks won the line out competition!!

Week 3 Winners

Well done Nataleigh and Tom who were the winners of our Principal's Awards this week.

Mmmmm Butter!!!

As part of our Science unit on Marvellous Milk we made butter and observed the changes that happen when the cream is turned into butter. We made the butter by half filling a jar with cream and shaking it till it split into butter and whey.  We also looked at how to speed up the process and put marbles in one of the jars to see if it made a difference - and it did! The marbles churned the butter faster than shaking alone.

Once we had strained and shaped the butter we tested and observed the changes in it by using our senses - sight, smell, feel and TASTE!!!!! Yum, our butter was delicious spread on wine biscuits.  We also shared them with Rooms 5 & 6 , Anne-Marie and Mrs Duston :-)

Moving Milk

On Thursday we did a science experiment called moving milk.  We put food colouring into a shallow dish of milk and observed what happened when we added a drop of dishwashing detergent.  It was exciting watching the colours move and swirl around.

Science Experiment

Today Tara from Room 4 came into our class and did a science experiment.  She added into a bottle white vinegar and baking soda.  Then she put a balloon on the end of  the bottle.  This created a chemical reaction, which resulted in carbon dioxide being released into the balloon.

Welcome Back!!!!

We are all excited to be back at school. Welcome to our new students who have come through from Rooms 5 & 6..... Nataleigh, Emmy-Jean, Tom, Tyler, Jack, Devin, Ambrose and Kaleb.

Shape Fun

We are learning about 2 dimensional shapes - naming them, describing them, grouping them and making them. The game we are playing below is called shape loopy and we are describing and naming shapes.  We also used the geoboards and rubber bands to make shapes.  Check out Ollie and Jed's shapes, can you name them?
