MUSEUM TRIP - Lotions & Potions

Today we went on a fantastic trip to the Otago Museum.  We went to a 'Lotions & Potions' workshop and completed lots of fun experiments including making elephant toothpaste!  Check out the movie below to see what we did:

SOPHIE'S FAREWELL MORNING TEA

Today we had a delicious shared morning tea to farewell Sophie.  Sophie and her family are moving to Australia at the end of this term.  We are going to miss Sophie as she is such a lovely friend to everyone in Room 11.

SCIENCE - Mixing Milk & Vinegar

This week during our science time we did an experiment with milk and vinegar.  We predicted what would happen when we combined the two substances.  Most people thought that they would fizz but we actually ended up making plastic milk!  We found out that this was because the protein in the milk and acid in the vinegar reacted.

CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING

The Cross Country will be in the second week of Term 3.  To make sure that we are fit and ready, we have started training.  Each day we run laps of the school in an effort to improve our fitness and make it into the '100 Lap Club'.

MUSIC CULTURAL SWAP

Every Wednesday afternoon, for the next five weeks, Room 11 will be learning music as part of our Middle Team Cultural Swap.  Today Mrs King (Room 10's teacher) taught Room 11 how to play the glockenspiel.
