What a lovely day we had today in the Teddy Bear’s Hospital. The kids got to dress up as doctors and give their teddies injections and blood transfusions, put on bandages and take x-rays. They loved every minute of it. Look at their happy faces.
We love when our friends have birthdays in the Language Class because it means we can have cake. Yum! This cake was a special Spiderman cake for a special little boy. And of course we had to have a dance off afterwards. Party Time!!
Mr. Hurley git a lovely surprise today when the children from the language classes presented him with a card they made. He said that it was the biggest card he had ever seen. Happy birthday Mr. Hurley. We hope you have a lovely day.
Brrrr! It’s cold outside. Look at these snowmen made by the Senior Language Class. Aren’t they adorable?
We had such an exciting day today in the Language Class. We learned all about diffusion. Diffusion is the intermingling of substances by the movement of their particles. In this experiment, we watched how the colours from the skittles moved into the centre of the plate through the water. Why do the colours spread? Skittles are coated in food colouring and sugar. When you pour water over the skittles the coloured coating dissolves spreading through the water. The colour and sugar dissolve into the water and then diffuse through the water, making it the colour of the skittle.
First we placed the skittles in a circle on a white plate.
Then we stood back while Ms. O Connor poured warm water on our skittles.
Then we watched as the colours from the skittles spread into the middle of the plate creating beautiful displays.
Then we used our fingers to mix the colours together.
Finally, we ate the skittles!!
