Flower and Pet Show

We had a fantastic Pet Show Day last Friday. Throughout the week we had planned creative articles to create such as sand saucers, vaseline saucers, aqua jars, wild flower and grasses decorations and hunting out some unusual containers to arrange flowers in. Beforehand some of us had produced some some needlework by making oven cloths. On Thursday we made gingerbread men and we decorated them with a variety of edible goodies. Some of us also made some amazing tasty truffles.
              

Gala Video

W.A.L.T. create a video using trailer on our i-pad. We had to ensure that we spelt all our words correctly the first time as it is tricky and time wasting to correct them. We had some of our photos deleted about our Gala day which was really disappointing but any way our creative learning was more about the process rather than the final product. The most important thing was that our class learnt so much about creating products to sell for profit at our Gala. We made $670 which was FANTASTIC for our camp to Cooper's Beach later in the month.

What do you think?

W.A.L.T 

Question: What are we trying to find out? How to get out of quicksand.

Hypothesis: (What do you think will happen? Give a reason) I think the guy who said that he will try to swim slowly will make it to the other side.

Procedure: (We are going to test it by.  List steps)

1. Make some quicksand
2. Drop a block head into quicksand
3. Get a figurine we used block heads.

4. If the block head floats then the experiment had succeeded. Results: (Was your hypothesis right or wrong?)We were wrong because we thought that the figure was going to float but apparently it sank right to the bottom    Conclusion: (We found out) 

5. We found out that the square head is lighter than the body.
6. When we put the blockhead in the quicksand the body sank and the head floated. When we used a different figure with a round head the body sank like the blockhead                              

Cross Country Goals

I.A.L.T. practice frequently, at least five times a week, 30 laps around the school field. Running helps me focus. Last year I came fourth, this year I want to at least come in the top three. But my Mum said, "It doesn't matter if you come last, it's all about having fun"

Joy Cowley's Favourite Ice Cream Recipe

Choco and M and M Icecream

This week for reading our group (Kaitlin, Nevaeh and Zara) read a story about Joy Cowley who lives in an isolated area Seventy kilometres away from ice cream. Ice cream is one of her favourite treats so she has to make her own. We followed her recipe but chose to change the kiwi fruit for Chocolate and banana M and M's. Next time we will not add as many chips and M and M's and we'll make a triple batch so the whole class can have a taste.
