Last Friday Rose got to share with the class how something can change from a liquid to a solid and a solid to a liquid by mixing corn flower, food colouring and water. It was a fun experiment! 

In Room 21 we have been learning about the water cycle. We wanted to see how water evaporates so we did an experiment where we could see for ourselves. First we dipped our hands in water then placed them on a hand towel and drew around our hands, we then watched to see over time what was happening to our hand prints.
 

This week Loretta got to teach the teacher. She taught us how to make milos. Yum!

We also did a maths problem solving challenge where students were in a team and raced to solve problems. They needed to hand in their task cards in order to receive the other one. Well done to all the teams, especially Olivers team for taking out first place!

Every Friday in Room 21 a student is chosen to teach the teacher. This an opportunity for children to share with the class and I a talent of theirs that can be taught. Last week Karlia got the chance to share with us how to make icing!  

Here are a few students writing that they have been working hard on in class

It was good to see so many students of Room 21 at the disco! It was a great night!

This week we started looking at our topic water. We had activities set up and students got to explore each station where they were given a question related to water. The chrome books were set up to help them find them support their answers. 

"Room 21 have been busy this week finding fractions of objects. We looked at finding halves and quarters and found this was a fun way of learning!"

Today we got to make paper helicopters with our wonderful buddy class and we got to see which one worked and why. It was exciting putting them to the test!
