ART WORK - LADYBIRDS

Our Ladybird art looks amazing.  

Firstly, we painted the leaves on the background and coloured in the sky. 

Then we glued on our ladybirds.

  

UMBRELLA SPLATTER ART

We did our Umbrella Splatter art today.  First we had to draw ourselves holding an umbrella.  We worked hard to use pattern on our umbrella and make our colours bright.

Then we used the paint brush to flick paint on the paper and a blew paint out of a straw to make it look like it was raining.

 

We are really pleased with the end result.

  

TIE DYED MILK - SCIENCE

We had a blast at our Science opt in workshop today. 

Adding food colouring to milk looks great.  

But look at what happens when Shyloh adds dish liquid to the milk. 
The colours all move around and create some amazing patterns.

 

You could try this at home!

STATIC ELECTRICITY - SCIENCE

Our static electricity Science opt-in created a lot of interest and fun today.  Check it out!

We borrowed LC 14's Plasma Ball.  We thought it was fascinating when we touched the ball.  The lights went towards our hands!  It was pretty cool!

  

 

This is how it works...

CALENDAR ART

We have been buy this week making our art for our calendars.  Here are a few photos of us...

SCIENCE SHARING SESSION

We had our sharing session for our Opt-In workshops.  This was a great way to finish up this term's Science learning.  We have discovered that we are now thinking like Scientists.

We took the opportunity to share with our friends all our learning.

SCIENCE SHARING

Today, we took time to share all the learning we had gained while in our Science Opt-ins.

We took 20 minutes with our workshop buddies and our workshop teacher to decide what to share.  Then we came together and each group got to explain what we had discovered.

The kids from Hubble Bubble Potions went first...

The children investigated liquids, solids, powders and crystals.  They even made crystals!

Mrs Kenyon's workshop learnt to classify animals.  They shared with us the different classifications of animals such as mammal, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and insects...

Mrs Lunn's Magnet kids took turns sharing what they had learnt.  They even demonstrated their learning with their magnets.  It was like MAGIC!

Here's what the magnet kids had to say...

Charlie - When you get a plate and put a paperclip on it with a paper car ... the magnet underneath the plate will make the car move

Jack - If you put the South and South ends together on a big and little magnet, they repel

Hunter - Not all metals are magnetic

Kazma - If you stick metal to a magnet, the metal becomes magentic too.

Ethan - We found out the plastic, wood, fabric, rubber and cardboard are not magnetic.

Amon - Only some metals attract

Rudra - When you put the South with another South it repels

Max - If you put North near South, they attract

Zach - If you put N near N, it repels

Shyloh - If you put the magnet next to the iron filings, the sand is attracted to the magnet

Harlem - If yuo put the big magnet to the same letter, it repels

Tyler - The big magnets have N and S but if you put the same letters together they repel

Fai-ana - You can make metal things move by using magnets

Holly P - Some magnets are stronger than others

Lakhdeep - Magnets do not attract plastic unless it has a piece of metal in it that is magnetic

Cooper - If you have a magnet with S and N, it will attract a N and S
