Then we put the three different cubes on a plate and observed what happened. We took photos at 3 minute intervals.
We found that the cordial cube melted first. The sugar ice cube was melting faster than the water ice cube.

More Ice Cubes
Today we created ice cubes made from water, sugar and water, and from cordial. We predicted which one would melt first.....

Properties of Water
We read a story about water.
When we took some ice cubes out of the freezer we looked closely at what they looked like
The ice changed into water.
The next day we went outside and placed an ice cube in the sun and timed how long it took to melt. It took almost 20 minutes. There was a difference between those in the sun and in the shade.
All that was left was a puddle.....
What then....?

School in a tent!
Earthquakes don't stop us.
We had to work in a tent for two weeks while temporary repairs have been made to the classrooms.
Tent city!
We had fun and even had to mow the grass inside the tent!

Bird's nests
What do you have for breakfast?
We decided to try something different...a Bird's Nest!
We buttered the toast then put it in the frypan.
When it was partially toasted we took out the centre and added an egg.
We said Grace before we ate!
Yum!

What do we know about bees?
This term we have been finding out about bees. We invited a beekeeper in to tell us all about them.
Have a look at these photos and ask us what we have found out.
We even got to taste the honeycomb.

Porridge for breakfast
As part of our Healthy Eating Unit, we looked at what we could eat that was easy and healthy.
We decided that porridge was a quick and nutricious breakfast.
We took a bowl, Scotch Oats and some water.
We added the oats to the bowl.
We added water and gave it a good stir. Then we put it into the microwave to cook.
It tasted yummy!
