If you make a snowman take a photo of it and bring it to school on a memory stick so I can put it on our blog!
Have fun in the snow!!!!

SCIENCE ALIVE

Yesterday Room 11 were lucky to have Science Alive visiting.  Here are some photos and our thoughts.

We turned on the light which made the solar panelled car work.

When it ran out of light it stopped.

Paige is holding Jupiter, Rowan is holding Uranus, Caleb is looking at

Saturn  and Dion has Mars.  Then we put them in order.

This group has put the planets in order from Mercury to Neptune.

John is showing us how the earth moves around the sun as well as the moon.



Jay's Mum is helping us read the instructions.

We were looking at which way the sun sets. 

John was giving us instructions about the dome.  Our voices were echoing.  The planets were very cool to look at.  We could also see the milky way.  We learnt lots of names for the different constellations and where to look for them.  It was dark in there and it really did look like the night sky.  There was awesome twinkling stars. 



Ashton's Popcorn Poem

POPCORN


The popcorn pops in the microwave.

The popcorn is sweet with a buttery taste.

It explodes with a bang and a pop.

It's fresh, it's light and very hot.

Its a yummy treat.

It can get burnt but it still tastes amazing.

It goes in a bowl.

It makes mouths water

When I eat it, it tastes great!

Popping Popcorn

I pop popcorn to its finest.

Popping popcorn is a delight.

The smell of butter is so nice.

After a meal of rice.

In a scary movie popcorn calms you down.

It goes bang in the microwave.

The crunchy kernals are hard to bite.

It is a pleasent treat on a stormy night.

It is lighter than a feather.

Popcorn is cooler than a fridge.

I would like to go to a land of popcorn.

Next time come  have poping popcorn with me.

                POP, POP, POP!

Print Making

Here is Tama's poem about Print Making

Print Making 

The ink is white

There are dry rollers

There are sticky rollers

There's ink on paper

There's sticky fingers

 We have white fingers

There's white everywhere

There's so much ink

CROSS COUNTRY

Cross Country

At the Cross Country me and Leyton were cheering in the crowd.  We thought Bradley was going to come second, but just as Damien was going to win Bradley zoomed ahead.  Before we knew it Bradley won, yay!!!  Bradley came over, I said, "good job".  I watched the other people.  I wish I was that fast.  But I didn't notice we were lining up.  I looked and got in the line.  Mrs Eaton said, "find a buddy".  I buddied with my friend Austin.  We ran off.  I think Austin is FAST.  Before I knew it the race is over.  I was very puffed.  I can't wait until next Cross Country.

FRUIT SALAD

On the last day of school we made fruit salad.  We had been writing instructions and one of tasks was to write how to make fruit salad.

Happy holidays everyone . . . . remember to feed the fish!

You may like to make fruit salad in the holidays for your family.  Or fruit sticks are always fun too!

Our Rocky Shore trip at Smithfield Beach

We are looking in our container at what we

found at the beach.  Tokoono has the identification

chart.  We had crabs, snails and worms.

I found a mussel at the beach, it was still

closed so it had its meat inside.



We were looking at the identification chart.

It was a periwinkle.

Daemyn is holding some tangly seaweed.

It was dry because it was on the dry sand.

 



We caught the biggest crab

and lots of little ones.



Here is Phoenix's crab

Zandrina was holding a sea tulip, it was

attached to a mussel.  We had some

Year 4's from R12 with us.





"I was looking for a crab," said Ian.



Here is a close up of the limpets Robyn

is pointing too.



Here are the limpets - look out for the

close up photo of them



Banana Art!

We did some drawings of bananas.  We had to look carefully at our lines, once we had finished we coloured them in funky colours with pastels.

Tree felling

We wrote some amazing stories about the big tree coming down at Hampstead School last week.  Our stories were very long so these are just some great sentences from these stories.

Today it is a very sad day.  Our big tree is getting cut down.  The big tree is too dangerous to have at our school.  The next day the tree is nothing but a tall log.     BY BAYDEN
 

 The big tree was getting cut down and I saw a shredder, it was noisy.  They have to climb up and use the chainsaw.  The branch fell down, it was big.     BY IAN

We walked past the tree again.  By 3pm there was only two branches left.  From my house I could still hear the arborists shredding branches and they're still working on the tree today.  BY DAEMYN

At lunchtime the big tree came down.  It made a big bang, they tied a rope onto the tree and connected it to the truck.  He pulled and pulled until it finally came down.  BY ASHTON
