Making and Breaking Bubbles

This week we made bubbles and then we wrote a recount about what happened. We are learning to write things in order by using words like first, then, next, after that and finally.


This morning we made bubbles by the field. First Talia had a turn and I had a turn. They were the colour of rainbows. Then we swapped with Myah, Melissa and Billie. It was orange. Next we blew the bubbles. I slam whacked the bubbles. I even made a heart. When we swapped with Abby's group Abby made it all frothy. Miss Y took a picture of Talia. Finally we went back inside.

Today room 6 went by the playground to blow bubbles. It was fun. First we went outside. Then we got in teams. Next we blew bubbles. I ran into the bubbles and I went with Melissa. Finally we went back to the class. Billie

Cooking Lemonade Scones

Today we made lemonade scones using a recipe from:
http://www.kidspot.co.nz/recipes-for+603+++Lemonade-scones.htmThey were really easy to make. We didn't have self-raising flour so we had to add 4 1/2 tsp of baking powder to the recipe. We talked about temperature and measurments again.

http://www.foodinaminute.co.nz/Recipes/Bean-and-Egg-Toastie-Pies
We did change a few ingredients. We used margarine, parsley and luncheon instead of butter, chives, bacon and ham. It was a 100% thumbs up all round for taste.

We talked about safety when cooking again. We also talked about maths measurements and the symbols for degrees, celsius and minutes.

Earthquake and Fire Drills

Our topic now is called 'What's the Plan, Stan?" and it is about being prepared and having a plan in case of an emergency. We already have a plan in case there is a fire at school and we have had several practise fire drills. Yesterday we learnt a new song which helps us to remember what to do in an earthquake. The words are:

Stop, drop, be like a turtle,

Under the table, away from the windows.

Stay still, under the table,

Wait 'till the shaking stops!

Here is a video of a suprise practise earthquake drill. How did we do?
