LEGO Challenge!

Room 1's Volcano Vocab

Earlier this term we helped clean up our community by joining the rest of the school picking up rubbish around Kawakawa. We enjoyed doing it and know how important it is in keeping our environment clean and green.

We are learning about GERMS! We looked at what germs are, what they look like under a microscope, how they can spread and where they like to live. 

We did an experiment with 3 pieces of bread. We touched one with our dirty hands, we touched one with our clean hands and then had one piece that no one touched. We put them in separate bags and left them to see what would happen!

Here are our predictions!

Here are our results!!! Ewwwww Yuck!

We think the clean hands bread was moldier because some of use accidentally used a dirty towel to dry our hands and wiped our hands on our shirts instead of the clean handy towels!!

BULLYING!

We have been discussing bullying and how we are BULLY FREE in Room 1 and Kawakawa Primary School. We wrote Cinquain Poems about Bullying. Here is our video of us reading them.

We LOVE having fruit and milk outside in the sun!

Our Creative Challenges!

Room 1 has been getting busy making and creating. Sharks, Crayfish and Kahawai reading groups have been busy making 'machines' after reading about them - We had robots, ice cream machines and lolly machines made. Snapper have been reading all about the Best Bridges and how they are made so they had a challenge to build a bridge from one desk to another. They really used the information they learned from the book to build their bridge such as using cables, piers and triangle shaped sides because that was the best shape to use for building a bridge. Scallops have been learning about dinosaurs and invented a new dinosaur they made habitats and also told me their dinosaurs features and diet.

We have been learning all about the water cycle. We made posters to show how the water cycle works.

Room 1 is learning about mindfulness. Check out these pics!!!
