The last few weeks of Term Two...

We did a science experiment in the sandpit...(AKA volcano!) 

First we had to build a mountain...

 Then we put the cup in the middle...

 And filled it...with..."stuff"...

 Quinn had a go...

 Max had a turn...

And afterwards...we had some good questions and possible solutions...

Why did it take so long to come out?

How can we make it come out faster?

We could use a different thing in the top!

Hopefully we will get to further investigate this next term!  We would like to make a mote where the "stuff" doesn't sink in (Ms Boon is not so sure that the suggestions of metal or wooden frames will work...)

We had an assembly...

Where our authors Sophie, Kupa and Jamin got certificates!

And Quinn did some awesome drumming!

Some reading groups got to share their learning...

One group performed a play...

Micah was the "Brave Little Tailor"

The Red Giant and the Green Giant had a fight (nice work Daisy and Catherine!)

And last of all the Brave Little Tailor got to marry the princess...hehe we all thought that was funny!

And another group created a treasure hunt!

First we had to hide the treasure...

We read the first clue and all thought we should go...that way...or this way...

Then we hunted...some of the clues took a loooooooooooong time to find!

Unfortunately the weather was not so good and the big kids buried the treasure VERY deep, but we managed to dig it up (with some help) before the 3pm....JUST! 

 

Here is the team respnsible for the madness...well done!

A few rain soaked and sandy kids, but one of those days you don't forget!
