Heating and Cooling

We have been doing some science in Room 4 all to do with Heating and Cooling. We have seen what happens when we boil water and this afternoon we did an experiment with ice cubes. 

Ben is holding the ice cubes after they came out of the freezer.

Now look what has happened, the ice cubes have melted!

Why has the ice melted?
What else do we know about heating and cooling?

Wilbur visits!

This morning Emily brought in a little piglet to show us. His name is Wilbur and he is only a few weeks old. Emily and her family are taking care of him because he has lost his mum. Isn't he cute?

Maths Whizzes!

We are such hard workers in Room 4! Today during maths time we had groups on the Interactive Whiteboard practising their skills.

Rugby Superstars!

This morning I went and watched the first week of rugby. I saw lots of Room 4 involved - Xavier, Robbie, Jack, Ben, George, Regan, Royden, Angus and Ella. I was really impressed with the positive attitude of all the teams and the number of tries scored. I bet you will all have a great season!

So ... Did you all enjoy your first game?
What sports do other people play in our class?

Best Handwriting!

We enjoy doing our handwriting in the afternoon in Room 4. We are trying to focus on these goals:

 

Here are some people who tried really hard to achieve their goals today and did some SUPER neat handwriting.
