Learning about wheat Grain

During the past few weeks of this Term we have been engaged in making bread and bread butter pudding. We not only had fun

making but also eating.

We also planted wheat seeds and monitored the growth. This wheat grass could be cut and juiced if you wished. Some of us have also planted wheat grains at home, hoping that it will grow into wheat with an "ear."

Little Red Hen

This Friday we a presenting a "readers theatre version "of the Little Red Hen. In the picture we have some of the hens. We chose this story as the Little Red Hen made bread like we did, but because we all helped we were able to eat it unlike some of the characters in the story.

Term 3 Inquiry Learning

For part of our Inquiry Learning this Term we are researching the question"What role do grains play in our food source?"
To begin with we read the book "Little Red Hen,"and will present this as a play.
We have also had much fun making scones with Deb. We used flour made from wheat, butter, water,salt, to make yummy tasting scones.
Next week we are looking forward to making bread.

Literacy - Reading

Continuing on with our Literacy studies we have commenced reading a novel called "James and the Giant Peach."
With this novel we a practising visualization.
After listening to chapter 1 & 2 being read we has to write a description of our visualization. Firstly we visualized the place where James now lives after having moved from his family home, secondly we we visualized his two aunts.

science

Students in room 11 have made their own instruments using recycle material on Friday with
Mrs K .It was fun and kids came up with wonderful ideas.

Science

Sound is the topic of Science which Room 11 is learning every Friday and have been doing lots of experiments on sound. One of the experiments that Room 11 did was, 'How sound travels?' Children in Room 11 have explored that sound travels faster in solid objects than in air.

Sound Sensational

On Fridays we are having some real fun experiences making sounds with Ms K. We have used balloons, rubber bands, rulers and pencil containers as percussion instruments.
