Changing Colours

Today we experimented with colours. Mrs Anthony started with yellow, and then mixed this with blue and red.

The children learnt what colours were created and could identify a change.

Fun Friday Experiments on Change

Today we revisited the "volcano" concept. We used baking soda and vinegar in a bottle/jar. today we put a glove on top of the jar and a balloon on top of the bottle. Watch what happens in the video.

Making butter - showing a change

As part of our Friday afternoon developmental we are doing experiments showing change. Today we changed cream into butter.

Here is our video.

Ronald McDonald

We had a surprise visitor at school on Friday! Ronald McDonald came to see us in the school hall. He needed lots of help because he had lost his stripy sock. He told us lots of things about road safety when he went for a walk to find it. Like STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before you cross the street. We also learnt to watch out at sneaky driveways when walking on the footpath.

Fun Friday Experiments on Change

Each Friday children from Harakeke, Kopukapuka, and Kaponga will be participating in some experiments to explore the world of CHANGE!!

Today's experiment was mixing baking soda and vinegar together. We firstly did this inside discussing what we thought might happen, observing the process, and finished with some reflections.

Then we moved into the sandpit, repeated the experiment (added dye and a sand mountain) and had heaps of fun.

Here is our video.

Swimming!!

We love swimming!! Here are some pictures from Harakeke (Room 1) and Kaponga (Room 3). The emphasis is on water confidence and safety....and most importantly...HAVING FUN!!
