Science Experiment - Celery & dye

We are learning about plant life during Daily 5. We wanted to know more about how plants survive and take up water. Whaea Kat found a video clip to watch, then we decided that we should try it.






You will need:
celery
food colouring
jars
water

We had to wait a few days to see if anything changed.


Nature Trail

Did you know that we have a nature trail? 
It is by the Kauri classrooms and a track leads from the top of the hill down to Putikitiki. 
It is a beautiful place to sit, think, listen and sketch.
We wanted to soak in the experience of just relaxing and appreciating nature.



It is such an amazing view from the track down to Putikitiki.



The shapes that we notice are so striking. 
Do you know the names of any of the plants in the photos?

Cyber Smart Infographics

Kauri Team have been learning about how to be Cyber Smart. We had to use infographics to show our learning. 
But what is an infographic? 
It is a way of sharing information using mainly pictures and minimally amounts of text.
