Being Scientists

We had some scientists come from the University of Canterbury.  

Dr Sarah Masters and her students showed us some experiments about things that were cold.  

They showed us what can happen to things like rubber hosing and lettuce when they are in the freezing cold.  They also showed us what can happen to our teeth after drinking fizzy drink.  We should brush our teeth after drinking it to look after our teeth!  

Then they put two clear or see through liquids together and mixed it.  It turned white and hard and could be set on fire!  

Then it was our turn!  We had to wear safety glasses to protect our eyes.  We learnt that molecules can join together.  When they join together they can't move as fast.  That is just like us when we hold hands and try to move.  

We mixed two see through liquids together and we made goo!  We tipped it out on the table and played with it.  

We had such an awesome morning being scientists!

Class report at Assembly

It was our turn to share some of our learning at assembly.  We hope you enjoy our class report.

Mother's Day Celebration

Last Friday we invited all the special ladies in our lives to come along to school to celebrate how special they are.  We welcomed them to our shared space, introduced them, gave them a pikelet and a cup of tea or coffee.  We then made a photo frame and had a photo with them before showing them some of the activities that we can do at school.  We then sang a song and invited them to join in with one of our favourites.  After that it was time for them to leave and it was our lunchtime.  Some of our visitors stayed for lunch and even had a play in the playground.  We really enjoyed having our special ladies at school with us.  Thanks for coming, we hope you had a great time too!
