Rocky Shore Creatures Visit Hope School

John Campbell; from the Nelson Museum; came out to Hope School with a small collection of rock pool creatures from Cable Bay. We learned how we should handle the creatures safely when we visit on Friday. 

John also shared how Cable Bay got its name. There was a cable connected from Australia to Cable Bay' which allowed people to start sending telegrams. They also used morse code. We had a go using morse code with some of the equipment John brought in.

Making Our Writing Interesting

Skittles

The Skittles tasted like a strawberry. When I put it in my mouth I liked the Skittle because it tasted like goodies. I wished that I had another one but there was none.

Bouncy Castle

When I went to a bouncy castle I did a humungous front flip and I landed on my bottom. I bounced up and then I did a face plant. I got a rash on my face. It stung!

Skittles

It felt sticky as sticky. It smelled like fresh mint. I popped it in my mouth and sucked it for a bit. After a while there was a burst of flavour. It could have been the Skittle or something very different.

Skittles

When you hold a Skittle for a long time it feels icky. I tasted raspberry in my Skittle. My Skittle is red. It makes your slobber tasty. The Skittle has a ‘s’ on it. I felt it in my hand. I love Skittles.

Skittles

One day I tasted a Skittles. It tasted like a strawberry. It was yummy too. When it dropped on my skin it looked like a piece of paint.

Yum

Mmmmm, yum we got one Skittle each. I had a yellow smooth one. I put it in my mouth. Cool, it surfed around in my mouth. Yum, I chomped into it. Yum it was a lemon one. I squidged my face. It was mega SOUR! My brain mixed up my taste buds.

Measurement

We finished our measurement unit outside. We traced around our bodies and then had to find the length or width of parts of our bodies and make comparison statements about them.

Measurement

In class we have been learning about measurement, in particular length. We have been busy measuring our feet, our hands, our height and have displayed these on the walls. We ordered the class from biggest to smallest and have been learning about making comparisons between ourselves and other class members eg Harry is bigger than me, I am shorter than Seb, Hunter and I are the same size. During our rich maths sessions we have been working in pairs to measure objects and discuss how we need to use the same tool to measure and compare. We have also been building towers and fences. Maths is so much fun!!!!
