Matthew's helicopter

This week Matthew decided to bring his helicopter into school. We really enjoyed listening to his news and having a play. It even sprayed us with water! We were all screaming away and giggling as it was flying over top of us. Afterwards we wrote some stories about our experience. 
Here are a couple of them:

Buzzzzzz Buzzzzz! Today Matthew brought his awesome water squirting helicopter into MR. It looked like a real helicopter flying over top of us. It felt like rain. It was as cold as ice! It sounded like my dads drill. By Annelise

Here it comes! Today Matthew let us have a look at his amazing helicopter that could do wonderful tricks but some tricks involved water. It looked like a real helicopter because the water squirter looked like water shooting in the air. It sounded like a stinging bee buzzing. The wings were swinging around in a circle like they were playing tag in the air. By Benny 

Topic- The Four Food Groups

This week we made some posters about the four food groups. We know that the four food groups are 
1. Vegetables and fruit
2. Grains
3. Protein (meat and fish) 
4. Milk products (dairy) 
We had to remember the four food groups, write some information about the food groups and display it in a fun way. Check out our posters:

Our seed science investigation

Lately in MR Class we have been talking about plants blooming because spring is here so we did a little science investigation around seeds. We had to compare four different seeds and decide if it was the same seed or different types of seeds. We decided that they were different because of the shapes, colours and sizes. We then had to guess what kind of seeds they were. 

Bean

Carrots

Snowpea

Sun Flower

After that we got to plant our seeds. We read instructions on how to plant seeds and how to look after them. We need to keep our plants in sunlight and water them to make them grow. Watch this space.....

Strike Percussion Performance

Today we had Strike Percussion come to our school. It was a fantastic show! We learned about some new instruments, had a giggle and got to ask some questions about 'Strike' as a career. We really enjoyed listening to the music and playing our own 'air' drums! Click on the link to check out this video with some of the highlights from the performance.

Discovery Time

We had a great time exploring during Discovery Time this week. Our topic this week was 'measurement-length' We were measuring with lots of different tools. Our focus in MR Class was to take care of our classroom environment and to look out for others. 

Yvonne's leaving shared lunch

Yesterday we said good bye to one of our MR friends. Yvonne is going back to China for a year so we had a shared lunch to say goodbye to her. We made her a giant card and lots of little cards. Our lunch was yummy and she felt very special. We wish Yvonne all the best at her new school in China.
