We read a story in class called The Hungry Caterpillar all about a caterpillar who grew up to be a beautiful butterfly. We learned all about the lifecycle of the butterfly from the egg stage all the way to the adult stage. Soon we will make clay butterflies but first we made models out of marla. Here are photos of us proudly displaying our work.
We attempted to make gas explosions in school on Friday. There was loads of excitement in class!
We read about Horrid Henry and the mega mean time machine this week, so we decided to design and build our own time machines using our STEM bins.
We put honey, golden syrup, washing up liquid, water, oil and hand sanitiser into a clear plastic bottle to prove that all liquids have different weights. This is known as liquid density.
In our class we have been busy practicing how to write our letters. Sometimes we use chalkboards and whiteboards. Sometimes we make them out of marla. But today we practiced tracing them in sand. It felt … sandy!
We have been learning all week about apples. On Friday we made apple juice and ate apple tart with knives and forks. We feel so grown up. Then we made apple trees with paint. What a great day.
This week fifth and sixth classes paired up with junior and senior infants as part of our reading buddy system. Children from older classes became reading buddies to children from younger classes and each child read a book to their reading buddy. We are looking forward to doing this once a week for the school year. Well done to everybody involved. We are already looking forward to next week!!!
We did place value using arrow cards, dienes blocks and marla, spaghetti and cheerios!!
Fifth and Sixth classes have been using our school walkway daily and we decided to set ourselves a challenge to run to Poland. After only 2 weeks we have already reached London! This is a distance of 597km or approximately 3000 laps around the school!!
Happy birthday to one of the lovely little girls in our language class. Thank you mum for sending in yummy birthday cake and princess party bags. We had a lovely party.
