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.

St John's Visit

We were luck enough to learn what to do in an emergency. We need to remember DRS ABC, which means:
D - Dangers (check your safety first)
R - Response ("Can you hear me?" and shake their shoulders)
S - Send for help (Ring 111 for the ambulance)
A - Airway (tilt the head back & lift the chin.
B - Breathing (look at chest & stomach, fell for breath on cheek).
C - CPR (start compressions).

We got to practice compressions on the mannequins.

 We also got to look in the ambulance, then Whaea Kat was allowed to turn the sirens on. They were very loud!

Pencils Writing Group

Pencils writing group working together to brainstorm a moment in time - Operetta.

Using the whiteboard write adjectives and phrases underneath. 

We used the adding details sheet to jog our brains.

 Lots of discussion to be had about the Operetta. 

Everyone loves using the whiteboard table.

Chilling out in between items during Operetta. 

Great to see that some kids from Room 12 are in with us too, talking and playing games. 

So many different costumes.

 Kauri students showed how they could manage themselves with so many people coming and going for different items. They still remained calm. Well done.
