Making Chocolate Cake

As part of our science inquiry topic this term, we are looking at the changes in matter.  After reading "The Chocolate Cake" the Crunchies reading group followed the recipe in the book to combine ingredients and create a chocolate cake.  Importantly, we discussed how the ingredients changed and that once they had changed, they could not be changed back again!

Once we'd created our cake, we ate it with ice cream and bananas - the same way they did in the book!

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:

Room 15 trip to Te Tuhi

Today Room 15 had a great time visiting Te Tuhi.  We completed a great piece of geometric art and also had time to explore the gallery.  Thanks to our great parent helps - we can't have trips without your support!  Here are a few photos from our trip, and the learners have shared more of these photos on their individual blogs.

Day 2 ... updating our blogs!

Today in Room 15 we've updated our blog photos to reflect that we're now Year 3 learners.  We talked about how we could take photos of each other so they looked great on our blogs.  Room 15 had to think about backgrounds, shade vs sun, and from which angle to take the photo.  Mrs Belt was really impressed with our photography skills!  You can check out photos of each of our blogs (links are on the right hand side of our class blog) and Mrs Belt has chosen a selection of photos to showcase here.
