Science in a Van

Emily and Alan visited George Street Normal School on Monday with 'Science in a Van'. They started off the day with a whole school introduction, then after lunch the Junior Team got to experience 'The Wonderful World of Bubbles'. It was so much fun. Someone from Kindle 2 was chosen to help with one of the experiments. Emily and Alan taught us about prediction, experimenting, mixtures, reactions, and separation. They told us that even when experiments fail - we keep trying and we can still learn something. Thanks Science in a Van!

Volume (using woodchips)

We have been learning about Volume or Capacity in maths. Today the children worked with their buddy class - Room 9 to estimate and check how many handfuls of wood chips it takes to fill a bucket. Then they helped Mr Vinecombe by putting the wood chips in the playground. What a great job they did. I wonder how many buckets of wood chips are in the playground altogether?

The opening of the playground

This morning the children gathered by the new steps to the playground and it was officially opened by Mr Vinecombe and Mr Clark. They have been working hard to get it ready for the children to use. It has an all weather path so it will be able to be used even when the grass is too wet to play on. Timo from Kindle 2 said a few words at the opening about what he liked.

Here is Dad

Last week our word of the week was Dad. The children have drawn some great pictures of Dads. Recognise anyone you know?
