Christmas baking in Room 2

We made fantastic reindeer with different coloured noses. We had Rudolph as well as a purple, green, yellow, and orange nosed reindeer.
This is our last baking for the year with Mrs Kent who is our wonderful class baker.

Water rockets blast off

We made incredible water rockets with the help of Nina's parents. After talking about fuel we launched our rockets. All of them went up, some went really high Everyone really enjoyed the chance to use their rockets.

The kiwi

As part of the Kids Restore the Kepler programme this week we have been looking at kiwis. We were lucky to have a real stuffed kiwi to look at with its egg.

Eating our radishes

We picked our radishes this morning. They were large red ones and tasted delicious. We made them into radish rolls using lettuce so we could eat them for munch time. Most of us really enjoyed eating the. next we planted purple runner beans around our tepees so that when they grow we will be able to go inside the tepees and see the beans around them.

Steam Engine

Yesterday we learned that to make energy we needed to change something into it. Water needed to be  turned into steam by heating it to turn a motor. Wind turns a turbine to make electricity.

Invercargill yesterday

We went to see the Capital E Theatre show called "Mr McGee and his biting flea," It was a fantastic show.
Come in to our class and see our awesome art work about the show.
At lunch time we went to Queens Park. We had to try climbing our way to the top of this structure, just like we are doing in our inquiry unit.

SIT performance

We were so lucky to have an amazing performance by the SIT band this morning. They are called The Joseph's. They played drums, electric and bass guitars as well as a singer.

Jojo came to see us!

Erin has a baby possum at home. Her brother Liam went hunting with friends and shot the mother but the baby fell down. Jojo drinks milk and lives in a basket in the bathroom. He likes curling up in a woolly hat.
