Nature Walk!

On Tuesday 24th of May, we went for a nature walk with Room 8! We had to record what we could see, smell, hear and feel. We saw green leaves, calm water, crabs, insects, crunchy brown leaves and tall trees. We smelt the salty sea air. We heard birds singing, leaves rustling and water splashing. We felt the cool water and the warm sunshine. We did a scavenger hunt and collected some fallen leaves. Each group had a camera to take photos of the interesting things we saw. It was so much fun! Check out our photos!

National Science Week

Welcome back to Term 2!
This week is National Science week. Today we did an experiment with a balloon, baking soda and lemon juice. The baking soda combines with the acidic lemon juice to create carbon dioxide. The first time we did the experiment, it worked really well but we forgot to video it - you can check out the photo though. The second time the balloon tore - see what happened in the video! The third time we managed to video it but the balloon didn't inflate as much as the first time. Next time we might use even more lemon juice and even more baking soda!

Our first try


Science Experiment gone wrong!
