Science Week

Our class carried aout lots of experiments during science week. We made rainbow spinners so that we could see two primary colours make a new colour. We discovered that the rainbow spinners work better with a cocktail stick than a pencil. We also used some paint to make new colours.

We used diet coke and mentos to make a geyser. When we put the mentos into the diet coke it erupted. We had to do this experiment outside so that we would not make a big mess inside.

During science week we also made playdough. We made blue and pink playdough. Here is what we did:
1. Mix a tablespooon of salt, a few drops of food colouring and some water in a cup.
2. Put flour and a tablespoon of cooking oil in a bowl and mix them together.
3. Add the food colouring mixture to the flour and mix them all together until it looks like playdough.

The Wise Old Owl

We learned the poem The Wise Old Owl and decided to draw and paint some owls. These are our wonderful drawings and paitings. This is the poem that we learned:

A wise old owl lived in an oak

The more he saw the less he spoke

The less he spoke the more he heard.

Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

Back to School

Hello and welcome to our class. We are all in second class now and have been very busy since we came back to school in September. There are 23 children in our class. There are 12 boys and 11 girls. We have five groups in our class. We came up with the names for our groups all by ourselves. The names we decided on were Bouncing Bunnies, Lava Lions, Clever Cheetah's, Water Whales and King Kongs. Each week we collect paper clips. Whichever group has the most paper clips at the end of each week gets one night of homework. Here are the pictures we use for our groups:
