 We are enjoying using our browsing boxes after morning tea and lunch.This is our quiet, quiet time where we reread material we have read in our guided reading sessions and some other books at a similar level. It's a great chance to try out some strategies we have been learning. We love reading in Room 3.




Last week we planted some swan plant seeds in individual pots.We hope when that when they are small plants we can replant them in our own butterfly garden. We were amazed to find the seeds hidden inside the pod in soft fluff like material.This protects the seeds.











 We will remember to water our seeds and make sure they receive enough light. Our Inquiry into Life Cycles has been so interesting.

Hi Room 3

The fluff around the swan plant seeds looks interesting.

Thanks for teaching me that butterflies use a special tube called a proboscis to suck up the nectar.

I had to look up the word proboscis on Wikipedia to find out more.

Did you know there is monkey called a Proboscis Monkey - they have a very long nose and look quite funny!

Static Electricity.   Static electricity stays in one place. It is produced when some materials are rubbed together.It causes crackles when you comb your hair.  We took some sheets of green paper and tore it up into small pieces.We used a pen to add two black dots and hey presto we had some frogs .!! We combed our hair with a plastic comb quite a few times .We held the combs over the frogs and they came alive !!! The frogs jumped up because the comb had static electricity.   Did you know Lightning is caused by a natural build up of static electricity in clouds? The lightning strike is just a giant spark of electricity. We are working hard learning our Letterland characters.  Kicking King says k in words -. Great work Room 3!!

The Year One students had a great trip to the Carter Observatory on Tuesday. It was very cold!!    We divided into groups after our arrival. We watched a show all about The Solar System. The stars looked  amazing!   We talked about the Sun and the difference between Night and Day.   We had time at the end to explore the Galleries and try our hand at some of the activities on offer. We are really enjoying our Inquiry about The Solar System.
