Coke + Mentos on PhotoPeach On Wednesday we did an experiment in front of the whole school. When it was our turn to do it the coke spat everywhere and it got on my clothes. I had such a fun time I forgot about playing in the playground. – Georgia It was interesting because when Renee tipped some coke on the ground it went all fizzy and after a while it didn’t fizz as much – Ben It was cool when it shot up – Cam R I heard a hissing noise. I got wet – Cam C I stuck my finger in the fanta. It was cold. I was scared because it frightened me when it came out – Jade Some of the coke went on my face. It felt funny. My buddy got sprayed by coke – Hunter On Wednesday we did an experiment in front of the whole school and I was nervous. – Jacob I saw the explosion when we had coke and the experiment, and the whole school was doing the same thing each time. – Michael I saw the coca cola go up in the air and I liked standing on the cone with a bottle of coke. – Oliver I like when Julie spread the coke everywhere – Liam B On Wednesday we had an explosion and the whole school did it so everyone’s class got a turn – Bella and Kai I stuck my finger into the bottle because I wanted to feel what it felt like. – Liam A Some coke got on my hair and it fizzed. – Olivia I felt excited because of the explosion. I liked getting wet. – Arlo I felt happy because water went all over me. – Katelyn I liked our one because it was like a basketball. It went through the hoop. – Joshua I got a little bit wet in my hair. I saw a giant mentos explosion. – Thomas I liked the bigger one because it was cool. It went on Ana’s head. It felt sticky. – Ana and Taylor
In Discovery Time today many children decided to work together as a team. Thomas - we joined our marble track with Georgia's marble track and made a giant one. Taylor - Michael and me made a train track together without arguing. Michael - we looked at a map and made the train track together. Hunter - I talked to Liam A and we decided to make a fire truck and a tow truck all in together. We had a little problem because at the front there were no wheels so we took one of the wheels off the back and put it on the front. Ana - me and Olly and Grace worked together to make a truck out of the wheels. Georgia - we stuck lots of pieces together. I built part of it and Thomas built the other bit and then we sticked it all together. Liam A - Georgia made a gigantic marble track and me and Thomas made another one and we put it together and it was really awesome cos it made it really tall.
Time Word Clouds on PhotoPeach Here are some of our word clouds from our buddy challenge last week. We had to work with a buddy to brainstorm words about "Time" Then we created a word cloud, took a screenshot of it and placed it in our class folder on the server. How do you think we did?
I like Marcella because there is a cute kitten in it and some other kittens and their mother and Marcella are blind - by Ana. What would be some of the problems for a cat who was blind?
Today we looked at different comments on our blog. Then we tried to think what was a good comment and what was a vey good comment.

When you read our comments have a think about what level they are. Watch out for R 3 comments!

I like Ghost Hunters because it has ghosts and because it has a scared boy who gets half dead. You can find this book in our school library. What kind of books do you like? Why?
Last week we learnt how to write a procedure. We made a cat card, took photos, inserted them into ComicLife and wrote the steps. We had to make sure we numbered the steps and gave it a title. Here is some of our work.
I like Red Squirrel's Adventure because when Red Squirrel goes to look for nuts a grey bird takes him away. To find out what happens next find the book in Purple's Reading Box.
My favourite book is Pop Up Jungle. I like the animals that pop up in the book. I like the illustrations. I like the colours on the animals. I have this book at home but I bring it to school.
Today we learned about what makes a structure strong. We tried to find out what the strongest shape was. We looked at photos of buildings, bridges and spider webs and wondered what made them strong. Then we tried to work as a team and make a strong structure using toothpicks and marshmallows. What do you think makes a structure strong?
Last week the Diamonds maths group had a challenge to find sets of things around the playground and write a multiplication sentence. This is what they found. Can you tell us about other sets around the school?
