Wondering Wednesday

It's great to see students researching some of our wonderings. Here are some questions we had today.

Where can I find more snails, I wonder where they live?    Samuel

Why do leaves fall off trees in Autumn?   Alice

I wonder why monkey tails are so strong?  Abbie

How did the moon turn red last night?  

Why do balls bounce?  Mac

How was earth made?  Eva

Why do eels in the sea stay in their caves?

I wonder why some days seem to be really long?  Sarah

Good luck!

Why do leaves change colour in autumn

Today we went looking for Autumn leaves. This video explains why leaves change colour and fall off the trees.

Get Set Go. Catching

Today we learnt catching skills. We talked about the things we needed to do to be ready to catch a ball.

Keep your eyes on the ball.

Hands out ready to catch.

Soft hands not tense ones.

You can move your body or feet to get your body in position to catch the ball.

Challenge

Find objects around the house to throw and catch eg rolled up socks, screwed up newspaper.

Be careful and check with your parents first.

If you have a ball go out and catch and throw with a brother, sister or a parent.

Gala Day

It was great to see so many students enjoying the gala day. I think there were many of you on a sugar rush, thank goodness it wasn't a school day. I'm looking forward to hearing the fun things you did at the gala day tomorrow.

Here are some photo's of the day.

Ambulance

Don't panic, there wasn't an emergency. It was just Abbie and Jaydan N coming to school this morning. These lucky Room G students won a trip to school by ambulance. They were picked up from home and delivered with lights and sirens going to Manchester Street School. Gosh it was loud. We all went out to welcome them. 

Some of the crowd outside Room G.

The Underwater Song (children's "sea animal" song)

Tomorrow we are going to learn about the animals we find in the sea. I will be reading them some stories and we will look at Youtube clips. Then we will be writing poetry and doing some artwork.
