Family Math Evening

I would like to send out a huge thank you to all of you who gave up your time tonight to come back to school with your whanau and learn some math games.  It was fantastic to see so many of you there. 

We will be playing the games I had in class so you better get practising.  Lets see who can be the class champion.

                       GAME ON!!  (Especially you Harley!!)

U ALL ROCK!

I hope you had fun today celebrating another great U ROCK term so far!  You all completed the photo hunt in your groups cooperating and thinking together.  It was more challenging than I thought it would be!

I enjoyed watching you all make, create and eat this afternoon with our science based activities in Room 12. 

Tino pai rawa team!  Keep up the great work!

Room 3's 2012 U ROCK Olympics!

Today was the last day of our Olympic competition.  It was very close but in the end we had a clear winner.  You all worked extremely well in your country groups and should be proud of all your efforts.

Water Lillies

Our science experiment writing continues and today we experimented with paper water lillies.  Some of our hypotheses' were almost correct but we didn't guess that the petals would open out!  Here is a photo of our opened lillies.

Swirling Colour Change

We looked at how primary colours can mix together and make a secondary colour with a bit of a change.  We used a glass, water and food colouring to test our colour theories.  We also added some cooking oil to spice things up which led to some great discussion about different substances.

Here is a You Tube clip we got the idea from!

FUN WITH FOOD COLOURING! SWIRLING COLOUR CHANGE EXPERIMENT

Kaleidoscopic Milk

For writing at the moment we are learning how to write about simple science experiments.  We did one that is called Kaleidoscopic Milk.  We used food colouring, milk and dish washing liquid.  Here is a photo story showing the method and results.

Well done Kingston and Jessie for recording this experiment using the camera.

We then tried it again but used a cotton bud dipped in the dishwashing liquid after we saw it on You Tube!  Here are the photos.

Here is Jessie L's published experiment:

Kaleidoscopic Milk

Equipment:

Milk

 Food Colouring

Bowl  

Dishwashing Liquid

Hypothesis:

 I think it is going to explode.

Method:

1.Pour the milk into the bowl.

2. Drop the food colouring into the bowl.

3. Put some diswashing liquid in the bowl.

Conclusion:

It swirled like a tornado and the colours mixed together.  My hypothesis was wrong because it didn't explode.

Olympic Assembly

WOW! You guys were fantastic on stage yesterday!  Your entry into the hall was amazing and our crowd loved it.  You pulled together as a team and looked very regal up there presenting.  I was super proud of you!  Check out our photos.
