Balloon in a bottle

Children were baffled

Children had a go at investigating how it was done.

After a few little tips the children started to have  some success :)

Exploring snails

On the hunt for food for Garden to Table today we discovered some snails living on the plants. We dicussed why they were there and what some of the problems they would cause if we left them there.

To save the plants from being eaten we removed them using our hands and took them back to the class to explore them further.

 Charlotte takes a really close look :)

In room 35 this morning we got into partners to solve some problems that involved searching for a pattern.

We completed one as a class first.

Problem 1 - complete the following   1    2     4    ____   ____

DNA is little parts in your body that is in each bubble that floats around in your body. You look like your parents and your siblings because they are sharing your DNA. Each DNA tell your life. For a example, if you are smart, you might have a DNA that makes you smart. Dna is so tiny that you can't even see it! If you don't have any DNA, you won't be alive. DNA is a very important part of your body. Ichigo




DNA contains all the infomation needed to build your body. Every cell in our body contains DNA. It stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Did you know you have around 20,000 DNA genes in your body?
