Library time

Spending time with Room 11

Today was our library time and our buddies joined us... we had so much fun together laughing, playing and reading books.

Our buddies are awesome and we enjoy learning from them!

Science and Creativity

Making Sunshine Play dough

For our science topic we are looking at the planets, space and beyond.  We have talked a lot about all our eight planets.
Today we made sunshine play dough.  To make it at home you need 1 cup of salt, 3 cups of hot water, 1/4 cup of oil, 2 heaped teaspoons of cream of tarter and four cups of flour, and yellow dye.  Combine all ingredients to get the right consistency.  We also added some lemon essence.

We had a great time making snowmen and aliens!!

We are learning about numbers and shapes:

Learning Maths is fun!!

We are learning to count and add numbers together.

We are learning to match numbers to the correct quantity of dots.

We are gaining confidence in using digital maths resources.  We are using mathematical apps to extend our knowledge.

Healthy minds and bodies:

Thinking critically through exploration...

We are learning about our bodies and what is good for them.  We are exploring this topic in many different ways: discussions, science, and mindfulness. 

Today we experimented with our lollies to find out how much colouring is inside of them.

We watched as our water started to wash out the many different colours. We had many questions and ideas. Why do different colours taste different?

We discussed what our lollies were made of:  sugar and colours!!

We made a rainbow!!

We talked about how the lollies seemed to melt in the water and thought about where the lollies had gone.  After all the colours came off:  We posed the question would the lollies still taste the same... The answer was yes!!

We made healthy food posters.
