Making Firelighters for the Fair

On Wednesday during our discovery session Rooms 2 and 4 made firelighters to be sold at the Country Fair. We had to melt candle wax into egg cartons. Once we had enough wax in a cup, we then put a little pine cone. 

To use the firelighters you need to cut off one of the cups and place it in your fire with some kindling. You then light the firelighter.

Please Look After Hope School

Room 4 children have noticed a lot of rubbish being left around Hope School. We decided we wanted to share our opinions of why we need to look after our environment.

Fun at the Tasman Library

We love our trips to the library. Today we could make up our own poems using words on lego blocks. Some of us sat back and enjoyed a good book.

 

Counting on from the biggest number

In maths we have been practicing counting on from the biggest number when adding 2 groups together. We had fun playing with frogs in ponds.

Bishop's School and Broadgreen House

Today we experienced what it was like at school and home in the past. We first visited Bishop's School where 'Sir' - (John) met us. We were allowed to wear clothing from the past. We needed to follow the rules and have very good behaviour as we didn't want to get the cane ;-)

We then visited Broadgreen house. It was interesting looking around the house and seeing the different way people used to live. We had a go at making butter, washing clothes, using an apple peeler and learned about chamber pots, maids and potpourri.

Maths and Art Combined

We combined our knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes and sculptures. We spent the afternoon using marshmallows and skewers to create a number of shapes.
