The fun run

On Friday we did the fun run. I came forth. Dhontayne came first. We had to go under a tunnel and then we had to jump over the seats that we sit on to eat at playtime and lunchtime. We had to do two laps. I came first out of the year threes . When I am a year four I will have my turn at being in the championships.

room11 science experiment

This morning Room 11 did science. We used water, scittles, milk, dye, dish washing liquid and glitter.

First we put scittles in the water to see what would happen. The water changed colour! First the water stayed white for a while then it turned brown and we had to tip it out.

After that we used milk for the second experiment. We put in some dish washing liquid the middel of some drops of dye. When we put the dish washing liquid in every thing started to move around in the container.

Then we put some green and orange dye in we put some glitter in it the dish washing liquid made the glitter move around.

Room 4 went to the Art Gallery. There were paintings at the art gallery. We went to the Art room. We were going to do prints. It was good fun.

We were split in two teams.I was in Mrs Gordon's group. We went on a bus to go to the art gallery.

The other team went to see the paintings. We went to stay in the art room. Then the other team went back to the art room. Then my group went to see the paintings. Then my group went back to the art room. Then we were going to do the prints.

We wrote are name in a piece of paper.We had paint in a table. There was a little paper in all of the tables.We went to the table where there was paint.

Then we rolled it with a big paint brush. Then my drawing showed up in the paper.Then we went back to school.

pumpkin soup in room 11

On Friday Room 11 made pumpkin soup with Mele,Luseta,Ako,Harrison and Anton. We made the pumpkin soup with Miss Mckenzie. She came with all the ingredients but some of the ingredients weren't for the pumpkin soup (they were just there to make us think).

When we finished the chefs went to the staff room and cleaned the dishes we used. When we came back from the staff room Miss Mckenzie checked the soup.

After that at lunch time Miss Mckenzie scooped some of the pumpkin soup into the cups we had made and gave some away.

When we were making the pumpkin soup Mr Morgan asked some of the label makers and reporters if they would like to ask the chefs some questions to help their writting. They took some pictures too.

Pumpkin Soup in Room 11

On Friday 14 May Room 11 made pumpkin soup with a pumpkin they found growing outside the classroom.

Students applied for the job of chef and spent the morning cooking. Other students become journalists and others made labels for the polystyrene cups.

This was a really fun day that was part of of our study about food packaging.
