Flower Gardens

  

 

Room 12 have been taking advantage of the lovely warm days with their teacher Mrs Fruean and begun planting ready for the summer. First the children helped dig out the weeds and the chip packets that liked to grow there. Next they turned over the soil and chose their potted plants. It was hard work but well worth it. They didn't even forget to tidy up after all their planting. The garden looks great! Don't forget to water them everyday.

Room 22 Brightens Up Statistics

Room 22 were studying Statistics for math. We had been drawing bar graphs, so we decided to make a bar graph of all the names in the class.

As you can see from the photos first we got different coloured paper and put one letter of our name on each piece. Then starting with the smallest number of letters, we began to make our bar graph. You can see some of us looking at the graph and talking about what we could tell by our graph. There were 7 people who had a 6 letter name, the shortest name was only 4 letters and the longest name was 10 letters long! We discussed our graph and decided that we could also make a graph of the most popular letters, and the most popular coloured paper.

 

Testing the taste buds.

The 'Wizards' reading group from Room 22 tested the jobs of their tongue and teeth while reading the book 'Inside Your Mouth'. Here you can see them experimenting with Weet-bix, testing what saliva does when we eat. We also tried some banana to see what our tongues do and some apple to test out our teeth and the different chewing surfaces. The Wizards really enjoyed learning about and exploring the parts of their mouths. The groups verdict.....

The lesson was delicious!

Floating and Sinking

Thursday 18th November 2010

Topic: Floating and Sinking
We put a golf ball in the water I thought it would sink because it has no air and it was heavy and it did sink and we put a stick in the water I thought it would float because it has air in it and it did float.

Iron Brion

Kelvin Road School had an entertaining visit from Iron Brion who taught us about eating healthy and important vitamins such as Iron. Iron carries oxygen around the body, helps make energy from foods and fights infection. Iron is also used for growth and development and is involved with helping us learn.
Beef and lamb are packed full of many important vitamins and minerals and make an important contribution to the healthy, balanced diet of all Kiwi kids. We learnt about the important food groups and how they help us to grow and learn. After a fun packed show we all had our own iron filled burger for lunch. Thank you Iron Brion!
