Chromatography

For science this term we have been learning about 
chromatography. 
Chromatography means colour writing. 
We have done one experiment with  smartie and water. We put the smartie on filter paper and dropped small 
drops of water on our smartie.Then we got either a 
pebble or an oompa, the same colour as the smartie and saw if the oompas or pebbles did the same thing that thesmarties did.
The (oompa, smartie or pebbles)  either blended differently or stayed the same colour.

Spooky

Thunder, lightning, gloom and doom.
Scary, chatter in the night.
Freaky, chuckle darkened room
Close your eyes and grab on tight!


Breaking steps and creaking floors.
Screaming witches and snarling bats.
Ghosts that slime up through the toilet.
Wriggling snakes and flapping cats.


A skeleton with white bones.
Starts following us –He’s running fast!
Right now count Dracula is falling in.
Quick crack the floor! Phew- Safe at last!


Let’s line up for another two!
That haunted house is really awesome fun.

Cats And Dogs

Cats can catch mice 
Wherever they go,
But dogs can't catch rabbits
They're far to slow!!!


They don't chase crocodiles                                                                         
That lie by the sea,
And can't catch monkeys 
witch sleep in the trees!!!


They should both stay at
Home and lie by the heaters,
Or both go to hide
And dream they are cheetahs!!!

What is a Scientist?

This is our big science question. Today we started a WHOLE WEEK of science! We want to discover what a scientist is. Without talking to anybody else, we drew a picture of what we thought a scientist looked like, and wrote about what a scientist does.

Today we started with a virtual plane trip to Antarctica! We had to get in groups of three, then went outside to get our virtual clothes to wear on the big trip. We were "specially selected scientists" about to go to Antarctica for the summer. We put our lugguge in the hold (really our class ramp rails)... then entered the plane (that used to be our classroom!) MurRen checked our passports at the door. We had to sit down and put our seatbelts on. Just as we were about to take off, Mrs Tooley came in (through our plane door!) She invited 3 real life visitors to our school from China. Now the plane was quite full, but then PutLea from Room 2 ALSO came into our plane... so we invited her to come with us. She wanted to study penguins! While we were on the "plane", we looked at photos on the whiteboard of Antarctica and McMurdo Base. After lunch we watched a movie about scientists at Antarctica, then we discussed our ideas, and recorded them in our topic book.

Pictures will come tomorrow, but here is the website with interesting videos and photos to look at: http://www.coolantarctica.com - you should take a look yourself!

I found today quite interesting. I liked going to Antarctica!

Sometimes we eat ham in it,
All summer long.

Incredible Seasons

Yesterday the "Incredibles" reading group wrote a poem about the best things about "seasons". Firstly we read a Journal poem, then we worked out the rhyming pattern, and what each line was about in each verse, so we could try to write our own poem. Once we did our first draft together, we proofread the poem (by fixing spelling mistakes), then we edited the poem (by finding even better words use).

This is the poem:


Incredible Seasons


I walk to the best school with my brother
Sun smiles across the cloudless sky
Birds chirping drowsily as they fly
I can't wait to see my friends


Training for my competitive hockey games
Warm coloured leaves crunching on the ground
Wind swirling all around
My team is awesome and we will win!


I need my warm scarf and my cosy gloves
Wind gusting through my hair
Thunderstorms give me such a scare
Snuggling up at home curled up in my blankets


I kick my school bag into my wardrobe
Sparkling tinsel and glitter spilled on the floor
A colourful wreath on the door
I cant wait for christmas!!!

The Presentation

For Social studies Room 1 has been studying Early Maori life. We learnt so much we felt that we had to share it with our parents. So on the 17 of September 2009 we hosted a Social studies night. 100 people came!
It was a marvellous event.

We showed the parents our BOB HERE claymation movie we made in Term 2. We made the movie in ONLY 2 WEEKS! You can see it further down our Blog if you want to.
The parents were hugely impressed.

Next was our Gingerbread Photo Story - this showed pictures of our gingerbread baking - part of our maths unit on Measurement.
One small child in the audience said "Awwww - that's beautiful", and we all laughed!

We have 9 kapahaka students in our class. They dressed up in our school's precious piupiu and sang and performed Haere Mai to introduce our Early Maori Life part of the presentation.
Then we presented our Early Maori Life slide shows. They were fantastic.
One of the students didn't have any of her group there but she was very brave and presented it by herself. She did a great job.
We finished the night off with our teacher, MooDeb's fantastic last speech.
The parents want us to have presentation evenings more often!

Our next challenge is to convert our Powerpoint presentations into Moviemaker so we can play them here on our Blog. We also have some photos.... good things take time!
(Luckily we have an expert in our class - Maadom!)

Kaimoana work sheet


In Term 3 we have been learning about Early Maori Life for Social Studies.

Our reading programme has been excellent - we have chosen articles to read out of Journals all about Maori life.

This is one of the worksheets we have done, after we finished our buddy reading. We have been learning to write proper sentences using key words from the question and the text.
