The Great St Albans Easter Hunt!

-
On the last day of term one, the whole school took part in our annual Easter hunt. We worked with our big buddies from Pouakai. They were amazing at helping us find the clues and solve the puzzle. We ran all over the school looking for the clues! Finally, when we had found all the clues and coloured our pictures, we were allowed to find our own Easter baskets back in our classroom. The Easter bunny had left two eggs in them for each of us! Delicious!!! What a great way to round off an amazing first term. Happy Easter everyone!

By joining the segments in different sequences we could program Codey to do all sorts of different things. This was a great way for us to learn about directions - particularly telling left from right!

G G G...Ghost!

Today we learned about the letter/sound 'g'. Cara put vinegar in a bottle and then attached a balloon filled with baking soda over the neck of the bottle. When the vinegar and baking soda mixed it caused a chemical reaction and carbon dioxide gas was produced. This caused the balloon to inflate. The balloon looked like a scary ghost! After our experiment, we drew diagrams and wrote about the balloon ghost in our writing books. Before completing the experiment, lots of the children predicted that the balloon would explode and Shanaya thought we would have to spend the rest of the day cleaning up the classroom! Although the reaction was exciting, luckily it wasn't quite that dramatic! What fun we have at writing time.
