Mead

Dear Mead Room families,

We have had a colourful week exploring our unit of inquiry.

Another experiment in colour mixing, we squashed and squeezed two different coloured balls of playdough, this time using red and yellow;

Benji – Orange!

Louis found another way to express his understandings by illustrating what he had discovered with coloured wooden balls;

Louis – well I just know that you get yellow and red to make orange.

We also began experimenting with colouring white flowers.

We made predictions about what may happen when the flowers were plunged into coloured water.

Wilbur – the flower will turn blue (in the blue water)

Ned – it will get coloured

Lachlan – Maybe they will turn the same, the same as the water.

Later we discussed how the petals had changed colour;

Lucy – the green thing (stem) it drank it up

Lola – It got sucked up the stem.

We will have to do more experimenting in the Mead Room – these scientists are on a roll and eager to hypothesise, theorise and deduce!

Of course this is not all we have done………

We climbed, balanced, saw the chickens set up in their new chicken coop (yes we have chickens!), made snakes out of blocks, created a Pirate city and the vet clinic turned into a doctor’s surgery.

We also celebrated the birthdays of Tate and Banjo who are now 4!

Have a lovely weekend.
