Discovery Time 'food, food, food'

Today we made fruit kebabs. First we had to wash the apples, grapes and pears. Then we cut the skin off the kiwifruits, bananas, oranges and pineapple. Then we cut the fruit into bite sized pieces. We finally put the fruit pieces onto our scewers.
The pineapple and orange was the juicest.
Some of us had never tired pineapple. We thought it was delicious!!
Look at the patterns we made:)

Kalebs Bird Nest

Today, Kaleb bought a birds nest to school to share with us. We looked very carefully at the nest and took turns sharing what the bird nest looks like and feels like.

We also made a list of our wonderings.
I wonder what kind of bird made this nest? (Emily-Kate)

I wonder how the bird put all of the dirt, straw, and grass together? (Levi)

I wonder how long it took the bird to make this nest? Eva

Thank you for bringing this nest to school, Kaleb. We found it very exciting and interesting. We want to find out more about birds and the kinds of nests that they make.

Marvellous Measuring

This week we have been finding the volume of different 3D shapes.
We filled the shapes with cups of water, spoon fulls of rice, toy cars and teddies.
We found that the cube had the biggest volume.

We found that the cone had the smallest volume.

Shape Collages

This week we have been looking at Picassos paintings. We have looked at the different 2D and 3D shapes in his artworks. Picasso was our inspiration when creating our own shape collages.

We overlapped our shapes, coloured them in carefully, and then dyed it with a bright colour to fill in the background. What shapes can you see?

Netball Skills

Today we went to the hall. We learnt how to pass a net ball.
We stand with one foot infront of the other.

We make sure our buddy has their target ready.

We throw the ball from our chest.
We were really good at catching the ball, it hardly fell on the ground.

Junior Team Right Choice Day

For right choice day we had different activities in Rooms 15, 20, 21 and 22.
