New species were found in Room 5

 Room 5 have been using their creativity to create different animals. They put different parts of animals together to make a new animal. All of the animals are very unique. The Kidd-li-winks also named their animal with a unique name.
We have also painted our animals. We have been learning to mix colours to make new colours. We had to be very careful when painting because our creatures are very fragile.

Fun in Napier

The Kidd-li-winks had so much fun in Napier. As well as having lots of fun the Kidd-li-winks challenged themselves in different ways. Enjoy some of the photos from our experience.

A huge thank you to all the parents who came on our trip and had lots of fun with us!

Which fraction is bigger?

We have been learning about the size of fractions and which one would weigh more. We learnt to make a picture in our head of the fraction and imagine which one would be bigger. 

Teague asked a great question

Why is the number bigger but the fraction smaller?

Listen to the Fotobabbles we created and our thinking about fractions and their size. 

Listen to Teague's thinking. This maths is weird! He does mean 1/4 and not 4/4. 

Character Clues

The Magic Key Series is a real favourite in Room 5. The children have read many many different magic key adventure stories. 
Bottomly Potts re-read the stories to create character clues for others to guess who their character is. The character clues couldn't be too easy but needed enough information for people to read the stories and figure out who it is. 

Can you guess the characters?

Science is so much fun

The Kidd-li-winks love science so much.  

We started off with 1/4 of a cup of liquid hand soap and mixed in 3/4 of a cup of warm water.

Next we stirred in 2 tablespoons of baking soda.

After that we stirred in 2 tablespoons of citric acid. The more we stirred it the bigger and more bubbly it got.

It was a chemical reaction!

It was carbon dioxide making the bubbles.

Soon it was time to play.

 Bubbles bubbles everywhere!

And we made funny noises

and drew pictures and wrote our names.

This experiment was a bonus because it cleaned our tables. They are sparkling clean.

As requested by the children I have put the amounts needed so they can do the experiments at home.
