The Erupting Volcano Experiment

We made a volcano erupt by using the following ingredients and equipment:

• a volcano shaped mould
• vingegar
• baking soda
• dishwashing liquid

We repeated the experiment several times (after changing one thing each time) to see what would give us the biggest eruption!

We found that if we put more baking soda the "lava" became very thick and bubbly and it came out of the volcano quicker. Do you know that if you put no baking soda in that the volcano doesn't erupt?!

Janison said that the baking soda made the "lava" rise and pop out of the volcano!

Happy Mothers' Day!

On Sunday it was Mothers' Day!

We made some awesome cards on Friday to give to our Mums. We glued lots of cool foam shapes to the outside to make it look cool.

We listened to this song about Mums by Kath Bee.



Our Mums are awesome, just like in the song, our Mums:

• My Mum gives me kisses on the head - Paige
• When I am in bed my Mum tickles me - Hayden
• My Mum tells me to flush the toilet! - James
• My Mum wipes your tears when I fall over - Asharnte
• My Mum makes me some dinner - Jimi
• My Mum makes me milos - Awhina
• My Mum makes me breakfast - Regan
• My Mum gives me lollies - Fynn
• When I was only little, my Mum sewed back on my teddy's ear - Trinity
• My Mum buys me something when I do jobs - Hamish
  

Learning with Play-doh!

Today we learned our spelling words using play-doh!

We worked with a buddy to make as many Essential List 1 or 2 spelling words as we could using the letter cutters.

Then we read them to our buddy. It was soooo much fun!
