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!

Learning Links - access them from home!

In Room 19 we've been using a new app to help us with our learning!  Mrs Belt has created a range of projects to help us with reading, writing and maths!  The app we are using, Tiny Tap, is free to download on iOS or android devices or you can use any browser window from computer.

Mrs Belt has put a link on our Class Site so learners are able to access the projects and practice them from home (on an iPad, phone, computer or tablet).

Mrs Belt will continue to add any new projects to this link enabling any learners to practice from home after school, weekends or over the holidays.  We've really enjoyed this learning at school and hope you enjoy sharing them with family and whanau!

Reading activities with Explain Everything

Some of the learners in Room 19 have begun using Explain Everything for their reading follow up activities!  We work on these in small groups with Mrs Belt first, before doing them independently!  Mrs Belt really likes how hard we try with our activities.  Have a look at Hendrix's activity after he read the book "My Sandcastle".
