Kites

As part of our theme of Up, Up and Away we made some kites. We used flax sticks, plastic bags, cardboard, newspaper and tape. After that we went out and flew them. Some were more successful than others. We had to run fast to get our kites into the air.

After flying them we were inspired to write poems using verbs. We were able to choose the style of poem we wrote.

Science Fair 2017

On Wednesday we had our school Science Fair. The children have worked very hard over the last 3 weeks to learn about Science Investigations and the Scientific Method. They chose their own investigation questions and planned a fair test to complete on their chosen topic. They learnt about the importance of having constants and a variable when carrying out a fair test. Check out our individual blogs for reflections on our learning.

Here are our finished Science Investigation boards.

Here are some photos of us sharing our learning at Science Fair.

Dr Seuss Day

Everyone had a great day at Dr Seuss Day. The day began with a walk to the daycare and play centre to show off our costumes. We had Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, Fox in Socks, Cindy-Loo-Who, Duck from the Lorax, characters from Whoville, and Truffula Trees.

Then we split into mixed groups and completed different tasks related to Dr Seuss and his books. Some children from Team Awa also did a Breakout about Dr Seuss.
