Open Mic Wednesday

We have started OPEN MIC in Rooms 2 and 3 this term.   The children have the chance to talk in front of an audience using a microphone.  They must be prepared and have practised what they have chosen to read, talk about, recite etc

Minion Movie Day

Today our class and Bella went to the movies to see the Minions because our duck won the Duck race!

We used these words to describe the movie:

Carter - "Exciting"

Sam - "Hilarious"

Max - "Awesome"

Andrew - "Had heaps of villains".

Mack - "Funny"

Harley - "Tremendous"

Emma - "A bit scary"

Jackson - "Amazing"

Carlos - "Excellent"

Tylah - "Scarlet was grumpy"

Miss Boulding - "Easy to watch with lots of little funny parts"

We ALL like the Minions!

Check out the Rainbow Milk experiment we did today! 

Ingredients:  Blue top milk, food colouring, cotton buds and dishwashing liquid

Why does it react when the dishwashing liquid is added?

We won the DUCK RACE!

WE WON!

We would like to thank Class Hits, The Regent Theatre, Englefield, Bannock Brae, Jeff Evans and NZ ME for sponsoring the Classroom section of the Duck Race.

We can't wait to go to the movies.

Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!

And thank-you to our little duck - who now has a crown and a special place in our classroom!

POPPIN POPPIN POPCORN!

Over the past two weeks in Discovery Time we have all had a chance to design a popcorn holder.  

On Wednesday we got to test out our holders!  

We popped some popcorn and all got to eat some! Yummo!  

NEXT TIME:  Would you make your popcorn holder differently next time?  

What changes would you make?

After the Cosmodome visit, we made hats that show us the order of the planets from the Sun.

Good work team!
