Buddy Time in the Library

WE MADE OUR OWN BUBBLE SOLUTION WITH WHAT?!?! :o :o

One day Room 5 were being curious learners and began thinking about how long do bubbles really last once blown? We used $2 shop solution, water and detergent and just water... Most bubbles lasted around 6-8 seconds and water was unable to form bubbles on its own. We then thought about different ways to form stronger longer lasting  bubbles and with that Miss Rao began googling bubble solution recipes.

We eventually found one that required water, detergent and SUGAR!!!

The children thought that sugar might make it last longer because it makes the bubble heavier making it harder to pop. 

There was so much learning going on, it was amazing to watch and listen. 

ANYWAYYYYY... we began blowing bubbles and one cluster of bubbles lasted 40 seconds!!

We then began using our own solution and finding objects in the class to use as bubble wands. They used lego cubes, tyres from the lego cars and even their hands. What a clever bunch of children in Room 5.

Using our IMAGINATION!!!

Room 5 are full of imagination and creativity. They dressed up in costumes and created their own characters. They then came up with their own skit and acted it out. It was truly amazing. 

Busy Bees helping in the garden

On Tuesday, the Busy Bees in Room 5 helped Karen (our teacher aide) clean up the garden. They pulled out all the weeds and planted some seedlings. They also found a chrysalis and a butterfly. What a day!

HELLO AND WELCOME ROOM 5!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Room 5 for the first time yesterday. I feel so honoured and blessed to be their teacher for a term. Yesterday was super hot so we had a chilled day, walking around the school and playing with our new activities.
