Science topic on "Light"

We started the term with our science topic on Light! Part of our study was looking at shadows . We know what makes them and how they change during the day. We had to wait for a sunny day before we could test out our ideas. We now know lots and had a lot of fun discovering and experimenting.

More Experiments

Miss Elliott used green food dye and put some celery in it to see how water is absorbed by plants. It wasn't as exciting as we wanted so we moved on to plan B. We picked some pale coloured flowers from around the school and put them into red dye. In no time at all the flowers changed colour and it was really interesting to see the veins in the petals and leaves.

New term -New classmates!!

We have two new children in our room. Tauaoa has come back to our school and Mary Rose has moved here. It is lovely to have such cheerful, hard working children join our busy classroom.

Anzac Day

Anzac Day was in the holidays this year so we had our own Anzac assembly on the first day of term. Mr McKenzie welcomed lots of new children to our school and spoke about the brave people who were in the war and how we want peace not fighting. We looked at the arch and the names on the honour board and saw the crosses that were for the soldiers who had died.

School Cross Country

What a lovely day it was for our cross country. After interval we walked down to Chingford Park and sat in our year levels. The first group headed off on their race and they did really well . Before long it was the year 3 girls. We had been training so we knew we could run the distance but it still seemed a long way. Next it was the year 3 boys and then the year 4 boys and girls. By then we were feeling hungry so it was good to have some lunch. After the teachers/parents race we all packed up and walked back to school. We were all a bit tired but it had been a great day.
