Xylophones and Xrays

Not many things start with X but we managed to keep busy during X week.
We made colourful paper xylophones and played real xylophones (actually they were glockenspiels because they had metal keys not wood)...

..and we learned about how xrays work and matched xrays with photos. Bethany was very good at sorting these xrays!

Calendar Art

We have been busy making a work of art for the PTA calendar fundraiser. Take a look at our wonderful masterpieces.

S is for Stethoscope

Dr Chris came in and showed us his stethoscope. We listened to his heart beat and to the pretend heartbeat of Evan's rabbit.

Learning with Miss Gil

We have been very lucky - we had Miss Gil working in Room 17 this term. Week 3 was her last week with us. Look at what we learned....


Ka Kite Miss Gil. We will miss you!

V is for Very busy!

 This week was 'V' week. We learned about the differences between fruit and vegetables. We found out that fruit have seeds -  that makes tomato a fruit!
We made vegetable soup, a volcano and folded amazing flowers for a vase.
We read a story about a boy called Oliver that didn't like veges. He only wanted to eat chips until he picked vegetables from his Grandfather's garden and found out how good they are.
Watch us read our stories about Oliver.

Our classroom was filled with the delicious smell of soup. You can almost smell it from here.....

A very big thank you to Bethany's mum who not only made us buns but rescued us when the hot plate we had arranged for cooking on didn't get delivered. She raced home and brought in bench top elements to cook with. On top of that she stayed to help us make the soup! Ka Pai.
(We also tried using a slow cooker - true to its name it was too slow - but that did mean we had soup on Friday as well for those who wanted it.)

V is for Volcano
We made volcanoes with vinegar and baking soda. We tested white vinegar and brown vinegar. See which one was best.


We coloured beautiful vases and then made pretty paper flowers to put in them.

...and... we even found time to paint some scenery for our musical. We are working on learning all our words, songs and dances.
