Ii is for ice

We froze a lot of rubber insects inside an enormous block of ice. It was interesting investigating how we would get them out. The children decided that they could ask Mr Lamb if we could borrow hammers and everyone (including Mrs Lill and Mrs Keats) had fun cracking it.

Roman brought a slushy maker along to school. It was so much fun watching the ice come out looking like snow. It was "cool" eating it too.

Yeast Experiment

We took our Science to another level today. Mrs Abelen-Freeman, our Head of Science at RNLS, showed us an impressive chemical reaction. This is not an activity for home as we had to use hydrogen peroxide. We had to stand back and use our observation skills.

Friday Funday

Our Tamariki had a lot of fun this afternoon. They were able to choose from a range of creative and imaginative activities. We had so many smiles and thumbs up for Funday Friday!!

Celebrating the letter Yy

We all tried some homemade yoghurt today. We ate Greek yoghurt and strawberry flavour! It was Yummy!!!

Dripping Drops

Mrs O'Boyle from the University of Canterbury came and worked with our amazing scientists. We learnt about molecules and surface tension by dripping drops of red water onto a 20 cent coin and made some careful observations.

Kia Kaha - We are all the Same, but Different

We have been talking about how we are all similar and different at the same time. So is Elmer the Elephant by David McKee. We have had fun reading different Elmer stories.

Constable Ken came and talked to us about who we can ask for help if we are lost or scared. We role played what we could do if we got lost in a shop. He suggested that we ask the shop assistant to help us or ask another mother that has small children with her.

E is for eggs
