Christmas theme mufti day
Thank you to all of the students who dressed up for our PTA mufti day and donated an item for the Xmas hampers.
Please remember to have your Xmas raffles in by Thursday at the latest.
Science Road Show
Last week students signed up to attend the Science Road Show at school. There were 70 hands-on exhibits in six different themes and two demonstrations. A very fun Friday morning!
Inquiry - To make or become different
Room 1 blog posts are back! Miss McKenzie finally got her photos onto her computer.
Here are some photos of our current inquiry unit. We have been looking at change and understanding how something can become different.
We have looked at what happens when food coloring is dropped into milk then stirred with a cotton bud covered in dishwashing soap. We found that the food coloring and milk don't mix, but when dish soap is added it attaches itself to the food coloring, making a swirl effect because of the fat in the milk.
We have also looked at what happens when we add food coloring and dishwashing liquid into a drink bottle and swirl it around. We got to see a tornado effect.
Last week we looked at different types of crystals and their properties. We compared to salt, caster sugar and normal sugar. We observed how they sounded and what they looked like when they were crushed.

Writing
In writing, we have been learning about procedures. We did the Tim Tam slam challenge as a class last week and independently wrote a procedure on how it was done. YUMMY!
