Exploring Capacity

On Friday, Room 15 used water to measure capacity in a number of different jars and containers.  We worked in small groups and Mrs Belt was really impressed at how well we collaborated and shared with our peers.  Here are a few photos from they day.

All learners posted their learning on their blogs - Mrs Belt has chosen a few to share on the class blog here:

Sharing our learning on bread toasting

Today, as part of our science inquiry we were comparing different types of bread.  We each posted to our blogs, and Mrs Belt has selected some of our work to showcase on our class blog.

Tasting bread

As part of our science inquiry this term, Room 15 looking at bread, building to making our own in a few weeks.

Today we were looking at different types of bread and comparing:

appearance - what it looks like

texture - what it feels like

taste - what it tastes like

Mrs Belt set up the activity so that we could use photographs to help document our learning.  Check out these photos of us as we compared the different breads:

Happy Birthday Julia!

Tomorrow is Julia's birthday.  She will be 8 years old.  Today her Mum and Dad came to class with a yummy cake and a special goody bag for each student in Room 15 - wow, aren't we lucky!

The whole of Room 15 sang Happy Birthday to Julia and she made a wish.   It took her a few breaths to blow out all the candles. Then she passed out the cake and goody bags for us.  We took our goody bags home!

Thanks to Julia's Mum and Dad for the amazing cake and for sharing such kindness with Room 15 today!

Week 5: Star writers

In Room 15 we've been doing some great writing and each week Mrs Belt is going to select two pieces of writing to share on our class blog.  This weeks star writers are Ozzy and Julia.

Valerie Adams does the shot put and she won the gold and silver  medal.   She won the gold medal in 2008 in London and won the silver medal in 2016 in Rio. One of her throws was disqualified because she stepped out of the circle. Valerie has big strong muscles to throw a long way.

If you go fishing at the beach you will need to buy five sunscreen. You have to take your life jacket and a fish ruler to measure the fish. When you catch a fish you will have to put it in the bucket  with ice and you will have to get some of the saltwater. You will need to put your glove on. When you hold the fish with your fish glove you will need to put a wet towel under the fish so it doesn't get bad. It is important  to make sure  the seagulls do not eat the plastic. Take the plastic away from the seagulls and if you see plastic in the water you will need to get it. In the water scare the seagull and do not kill it with a bucket of water.  Only scare it with your water blaster gun if you have one scare it.

Rain Rain Go Away :)

It's always hard when it rains at lunchtime and we can't get outside to enjoy the sunshine and run around with our friends.  Today was one of those days where we had to spend the majority of our lunch hour inside!

We were well supported by our Rainy Day Monitors from the Senior classes and enjoyed drawing, blocks and books!  Mrs Belt really like the collaborative play she saw happening in the classroom today.
