Room 9

Wow what a busy term we are having here in Room 9. We have been learning about different science experiments, and how to observe and take notes about what we see. Here is a sneak peak of our Coke VS Mentos experiment... What do you think happened? Well, not much actually. We tried two different types of coke, even though it did react and fizz up, it wasn't giant explosion we hoped for. Have you tried this experiment? Could you share any tips you may have with us? We have been making some pretty cool art this term! We have been learning to create pieces of art that use lots of different materials. Here is a sneak peak of our mosaic animals, to see the finished the product, pop in and see us. We would love to show you.

This week has been a very busy week!! We have been practicing for Cross Country, learning our Times Tables, keeping up to date with RIO2016, and we have had been lucky to have two very exciting and entertaining visitors. First up, we had Mr Bruce Potter. Mr Potter is an author and book illustrator. He has illustrated Kaha the Kea, Penny the Prolific Pooing Cow, There is a hole in my bucket and many more.  He has his own doodle collection book, called Doodle bug. Doodle Bug is a product of Mr Potter's imagination. We loved having Mr Potter in Room 9, showing us how talented he is by drawing an original based purely off our suggestions.  On friday, we had a special NED assembly. Ned travels the country teaching kids how to do super cool Yoyo tricks and how to be champions. Ned  stands for Never give up Encourage others Do your best.

Today we had Mr Muir from Team Energize helping us prepare for Cross Country. We had a great time testing our fitness levels. We Had to run 550m and Mr Muir timed us. We look forward to him coming again in a few weeks, to see how much we have improved.

WOW!!! What a neat class we have here in Room 9 this year. I can't wait to see what this keen bunch of leaners will achieve over the year! It has been such a great start to the year with an excellent first week getting to know each other. Starting next week, we will be cracking into our regular class program. Please make sure you bring your book bags each day and togs for swimming. Miss Meredith
