Little Gardens

Look at our little gardens that we have planted.

We are practising our GEMS by looking after our plants.

We have been learning about what plants need to grow.

Dreaming of Clouds

 

Cloud watching is one of my favourite activities.

The sky is amazing - always changing and I sometimes

think that if you painted the clouds as they look people

may not believe you because they can be so different, 

all at the same time!

Why not check out the Science slide (7) and click

on the link to see how Clouds are formed.

Then do some Cloud Gazing.

This will be good for Mindfulness too.

Have fun and see you tomorrow at the 

Friday Google Meet at 11:00

Blake the Scientist!

 

How cute Blake - you look like 'Lava Man' in your outfit.

I see you and your sister Kasey are having lots of fun.

Did you know that you are learning about Science?

Keep up the great job!!!

Scientist Blake

Thank you for trying out the experiment.
I'm glad your family had lots of fun doing it.
It shows a REACTION with the oil and water
from the ingredients.
So, yes you got the correct answer!

Please note a change in the final Google Meet tomorrow -
there is only one meeting at 1:00 as it is a TOD.  I
will be busy with other meetings and getting our classroom ready for some special little children on Monday.
How many sleeps do we have until we meet up back at Sunnyhills School?

Magic Milk

Tune in, to tomorrow's video
to see what this is all about!

Ratu - Tuesday - Hair Day

It has been lovely catching up with everyone on Google Meets and getting to see your smiley faces.
I think everyone is out of the Learning Pit with learning how to switch their microphones on and off for talking time and listening time. This makes it easier to hear the speaker, as the microphones pick up all the other background sounds and voices.

I will email the link to your parents at 9:55am for the 10:00am meeting and !:55pm for the 2:00pm meeting. Please wait until 10:00am and 2:00pm before you join.

Today we have these students sharing -

10:00  - Tejaswini, Alexander, Ruby

2:00 - Blake, Maddie, Orlando

Toby's Home Learning with his Grandparents

I'm glad you enjoyed learning about how 

craters are made.

It looks like you have some expert helpers 

there with you.

Yes, it was a very full moon last night. I went outside to see it too because the sky was lit

 up so brightly!

I look forward to hearing about your interesting story tomorrow 

at the Live Google Meet.

Gosh, you must have a lot of Dinosaurs to make a row

 measuring 1.2 metres.

Kai pai - keep up the awesome learning.

Lucas, Blake and Alexander share their learning

These look like very professional masks.
Did you make them yourselves, Alexander and Vincent?

                                                         Gosh Blake, you are an awesome scientist!

                                     I like how you have recorded your findings. 

                                     This is an important part of being a Scientist.

ANZAC DAY - Can you  spot camouflaged soldier Blake, in the grass?
I love your beautiful poppies made from recycled egg cartons.
Thank you for taking up the challenge I suggested.

                         This is a very cool picture of a Tank from 
                         your favourite cartoon show.

Lucas mum said, "When making masks, Lucas was very creative. Without light blue plasticine, he used watercolor pen and white plasticine to make a blue piece by himself."

It is great to see you using your Growth GEM by problem solving how to make blue plasticine. Your Fish Mask looks very realistic. I am so pleased that you were very happy completing these challenges.  

Lydia, Orlando's Home Learning

A very cool vegetable person.

Great results with your Melting Ice experiment, Lydia.






Wow, you have been very busy researching about Planets in our Universe. I can see which planets they are, just by looking at your drawings.

Thank you for trying my
Hop Scotch Callenge.
It looks like you are having
lots of fun with Dad.

Lydia, Orlando, Toby and Alex Y 'Hard at Learning'.

 Lydia is very busy with her distance learning at home. Here is her Floating and Sinking experiment. Thank you for recording the results.

These are the results of Orlando's 
Melting Ice experiment. 
And Orlando has a new haircut from his Dad. Doesn't Orlando look very cool?

Toby and Eleanor baking a Chocolate Banana Loaf.

It looks delicious!

 Alex, this is a fantastic tree created from

 elements of nature.

You also did a great job with your poster

 sharing the learning about planet Venus.

Tejaswini's Week of Home Learning

These are ten colourul healthy foods.
And CHEESE is my favourite food too!

 
I think you have done a fabulous job planting your apple seed.
Here's hoping a shoot grows soon.

 
Looks like lots of fun!
I know lots of children have recently tried this science experiment.

Edward's Melting Ice Experiment

It looks like you are very orgainised for the 'Melting Ice' experiment. 
I look forward to hearing about your results when we get back to school.

Edward's Distance at Home Learning

I can see some Healthy Foods
and it looks like you are doing the
Floating and Sinking experiment.

 Great to see your learning at home, Edward.

Lucas and Max , the budding scientists

Lucas watched the video about the planet on YouTube yesterday, then drew a picture of the planet he remembered, and gave us an explanation. 

From left to right in the picture are the moon, the earth and the sun, and there are stars around the earth. I like his colour scheme.

Today he and his brother Max did a small scientific experiment, put the ice cubes in hot and cold water, and observed which container of ice melted faster.

They found that the ice cubes put into the hot water melted faster, and expressed the findings in pictures and words. What a happy learning experience.

Thank you Stella for your informative explanations and wonderful photos. I really enjoyed seeing the photos of the science experiment with Ice that I suggested this morning on my daily chat. You are doing a fantastic job with your distance learning from home. Keep it up! Kai pai!

Wednesday - Teacher Chat

Lydia's most recent projects

Wow! You have such a healthy, colourful array
of fruits and vegetables.
I wonder that meals your family will make with these.

This is a gorgeous picture using plants
from your garden. I love the beautiful flower
at the top. It reminds of a star at the top of
a Christmas tree. 

Laela's Beautiful Garden Pictures

    What wonderful art you have created from plants around your garden.
