Funny Faces We Made

How cool are these faces we made....

Can you tell who is who?

Changing States With A Balloon

As part of our inquiry into changing states, we looked at each state of matter: SOLID, Liquid, and G A S and what each meant. 

Then we filled in information about each that we found out:

Then Mrs Ray did an experiment with vinegar in a bottle and baking soda in an attached balloon. When the baking soda was mixed with the vinegar it made a reaction (fizzing) and this created Co2 gas that blew up the balloon! We wrote about it.

Yesterday we did an experiment with Mrs Ray. We did it was baking soda and vinegar and water. When we went to fill up the balloon with water it splashed out with water. It all fell on Mrs Ray and she was so wet. I thought it was going to pop. I thought it was going to get so so fat and then it will pop. When it popped everyone went “Ar ar! On no, what happened did it explode?”. I went “Oh no!”. I was by the mat but I still heard it. She put baking soda in a bottle of vinegar and it became gas. It looked like gas that was floating in the sky like a cloud. I also thought it was going to stay the same. I felt ‘boom’ because it splashed. Wow! I screamed and it was loud. I do not like that noise being so loud. 

Sincere

Yesterday we did a balloon experiment. 1. Take the vinegar and balloon and pour it into the bottle. 2. Put the balloon on the bottle and clean up the bottle. Shake. 3. The balloon fills up gas in the bottle. 4.The balloon pops in too much water also air. 5. Gases rise up. 6. Also vinegar makes Co2 and it bubbled liquid into gas with baking soda. 7.Next we will put liquid into a solid.

Yesterday we did a balloon experiment. First we put the balloon on the vinegar bottle. We put baking soda in the vinegar and the balloon got big. Then Mrs Ray filled the balloon with water. It went pop. It went all over.

Abhinav

Then Mrs Ray tried to fill a balloon with water to freeze and turn into a solid but it EXPLODED and we laughed a lot!

Music With Mrs Henderson

Every Thursday we have Mrs Hannah visit our class and teach us some music. We love having her, especially when we get to use the instruments! 

Changing Gummy Bears

This week we did our first inquiry science experiment showing change.  We looked at different liquids and decided to soak gummy bears in different them overnight. We first guessed what we thought would happen:

We then put them in the different liquids and came back the next day to see what had happened......

Look what happened!  We wrote the results on a data chart and we even got to eat a gummy bear! We learnt about these science words:  DISSOLVING and ABSORBING. Why do you think the vinegar gummy bear nearly disappeared?

A great first Week!

Welcome back to Term 4!

We have had a busy start to the term.  We enjoyed library time playing a new maths games site!

We had some athletics coaching with A Sport Waikato Expert!

We even did a brainstorm about the word 'CHANGE' for this term's inquiry.

We are excited to jump into Term 4!

What a Great Way to End Term 3!

Happy Holidays From Room 2!

Zirka Circus performers came to assembly today!  They were amazing bendy kids and we loved it! 

This week we were lucky enough to watch the Year 6 Pukete Production of Seussical Jr. Musical. It was an amazing show with great songs and costumes too!  

Inspiring Growth

To end our Growth inquiry this term the students had to create a pic collage on the iPad of some of the plants with had grown and what they needed to grow. Here are some:

 

Moby Brings His Pet Turtle

On Monday we were very lucky to have Sweep the Red Eared Terrapin Turtle spend half the day with us. Moby is looking after the 10-year-old reptile for his friends and we loved having her here.
