Printmaking...

Our wonderful prints of clouds and raindrops are now up in Room 5 to see. They look fantastic!

Tornadoes in Jars!

Yesterday we made our own tornadoes in jars. We put water, dishwashing liquid and vinegar in a jar as well as some glitter to represent debris. We swirled them around and we could see the funnel shape of a tornado. It was tricky to swirl the jars!

Plays!

Today Room 5 performed the plays they have been practising all week. I was so impressed with the enthusiasm and expression everyone put into them. They were also very funny! I would not like to eat worm fritters...

Lightning in the classroom!

Today we were lucky enough to have Jessica's dad come in to share a special machine called a Jacob's Ladder. Grant's friend had made it. It creates lightning and it was great to watch, especially after learning yesterday  about how lightning happens. Thanks Grant!

Printmaking!

Last week we learnt about printmaking. We made our own cardboard blocks and cut and glued pieces to make a sun. We then rolled ink on top, placed a piece of paper on top and then rolled with a dry roller. When we peeled the paper off, we had made an awesome print of our suns. We can reuse the blocks again if we want and make more prints in different colours. These suns are now brightening up our classroom! We know the sun is an important part of the Water Cycle.
