We Love the Library!

-
What fun we have at the library each Thursday, exploring the shelves and enjoying the array of books on offer. We are learning about the fiction and non-fiction areas of the library and how the library is organised so we can find books and authors we are interested in. We also get to see our friend 'Jenny the Librarian' who helps us return and issue our books. She also gives us tips on great books she thinks may interest us. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful school library.

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.
