Room 1 and 3 got together to do an amazing experiment. We made a bag go POP!! It was very very exciting!
We added baking and soda and water to a bag. We passed it around so that everyone could feel it. It felt COLD.
We added damprid and water to another bag. We passed it around so that everyone could feel it. It felt WARM.
We added damprid, baking soda and water to another bag. We watched the bag patiently. We observed that the bag got bigger and bigger and bigger then it went......... POP!!
It was Science Week last week and we became scientists in Room 3. We learnt about PREDICTING and OBSERVING. We did lots of experiments and guessed or PREDICTED what would happen. Then watched or OBSERVED to see what happened. Then we thought about what had happened in the experiment and why. Our first experiment was magic milk. We put milk and food colouring on a plate. Then we added dishwashing liquid. Look at what happened!! Can you guess why that happened?
We LOVE writing in Room 3! We are learning to use our ABC card to help us find words and sounds. We are also learning to put fingerspaces between our words and a fullstop at the end of our sentence. You are very welcome to come and see our writing any time. I am sure you will be very proud of Room 3 and our amazing writers.
In Numeracy this week, we are learning to work with 10's frames. If you don't know what a 10's frame is, come into Room 3 and we can show you!
In Numeracy we are learning to make groups of objects. We are learning to point to each object as we count. You can do this at home too! Maybe you could ask your child to put 4 forks and 4 knives on the table. At the supermarket you could ask your child to go and get 10 apples and put them in a bag.
We are lucky enough to get milk on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We are learning to put the straw in the carton all by ourselves and drink without too much spilling :-)
It took a lot of team work, sharing and turn taking to make our marble run.
