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.
