We hope that everyone had a refreshing holiday -free of chicken pox!
On Monday we had 'Buddy Time' with Room 15. They came to help us with an experiment called 'Volcanic Canisters'. We tried it last term when we did our Inquiry on 'Bubbles' and the experiment was a real fizzer!
Room 15 had done some research for us and they suggested that we try putting two
alka seltzer tablets in the water, instead of one.
We put the lids on the film canisters very tightly.
The lids exploded sky high! Thanks Room 15 for your help.
At 'Fiona's Fabulous Cafe' we made fairy bread. We enjoyed it so much that we are going to make some more at 'Discovery Time' on Friday.
Jordyn has a new puppy called Odyn. As you can see he is very excited. He is a rescued dog and very loved!
On Thursday we had a visit from Michelle who works at the ASB Bank. She came to talk to us about money.
Sometimes Michelle is a super hero called 'Cashtastic"!
First we discussed the values of the notes. We were able to name the people who have their picture on these notes.
Next we looked at the different values of the coins.
Michelle was very pleased to hear that we have been talking money during our maths sessions.
She taught us a jingle that says, " Speed to your needs and wait for your wants." That means that we can't always buy the things we want. We have to save our money for them.
Charlotte was chosen to do a role play with Michelle. She pretended to be a little girl called Aroha.
We really enjoyed having Michelle visit. She was very funny and we hope that she comes back to Merrin another day.
Don't forget that we need our swimming togs for next Wednesday!
