Fun times at Ferrymead!

-
What an amazing day Parerā 5 and 6 had at Ferrymead Heritage Park yesterday. We had an incredible group of parents to support the children and teachers and everyone enjoyed a variety of activities, dressed in our cute costumes! The Ferrymead educators commented on what a lovely group of children our tamariki were which made us very proud. Parent helpers - please send me any photos you took and I can add them to the blog.

    Millie had the best day and has been telling me about all of the things she learnt. She thinks school must be much more fun now than it would have been in the 'olden days'. Thank you so much for organising!

Each segment of its body had a different function such as 'play music', 'turn left' and 'flash lights'. 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.
