Last week of fun!

 
Water Day was wet!! Miss Eyre got saturated!


 
There was a water slide.


 
There were lots of water guns and water balloons.

 
Yesterday we shared a Teddy Bears' Picnic with Ruma Whitu.

 
We walked into the woods at the back of school with our teddies.


 
Some of them are very big!



 
We read "We're Going on a Bear Hunt", and a story about Winnie the Pooh, after we had some snacks of popcorn, tiny teddies and fairy bread.

 
Then we had a challenge to make a hut for our teddy. It really made us think!


 
Aunty Janice came too!
 




 
What a week!

Athletics Day

 
We had so much fun at the Junior Athletics Afternoon.

 
We practised balancing with the eggs and spoons.




 
Look at how fast we can sprint!





 
We're like the wind!





                                                             The long jump was fun!


 
We slept well that night.

Our experiments and observations

 
We have learned big words like hypothesis, observation, and experiment. Tell mum and dad what they mean.

 
What were we observing here?



 
What happened to our mystery pills? How come it didn't work the first time? What had Miss Eyre forgotten to do?


 
What colours were these roses originally? How have they changed colour?



 
And look at our fantastic peas and beans just 2 weeks later!!

World class scientists in Room 6

 
We are scientists in Ruma Ono.



We like to magnify things so we can really observe them!


 
Ask me about the germination process that we discovered.

 
What happened to our seeds?



 
What happens after germination?


 
These photos were taken 3 days apart. What changes can you observe in the photos above and below?

 
Each student has an observation log. Let me tell you about my one.
