This week at Discovery Time we made pikelets. We made use of our recent learning about fractions to find 1/4 and 1/2 cups to measure the sugar and flour and milk. We also needed lots to team work to make the batter and spread the jam and butter on the cooked pikelets. They were very yummy!
During Science we are learning about solids ,liquids and gases. We found out that Obleck can not be classified as only one. It is sometimes like a liquid and sometimes like solid. It was loads of fun finding out how it changes.
Week 2 of Discovery time was camping day as Rimu Nui are “camping out” while our classrooms are being built. Lots of team work and problem solving was required to put up the tents, and then Rimu Nui children could play!
Last week Room 6 looked at the colour blue and then we used our 5 senses to describe it. Look at the awesome descriptive, poetic writing they did in response to this.
As it was both Sea Week and Cultural Diversity week we had activities that combined both! Rimu nui children made and ate sushi including the seaweed wrappers, and we looked at sea shells and made drawings that we turned into siapo.
