Popcorn Volcano

Image
Room 8 have a new incentive chart where we earn stars when the whole class does something quickly, quietly or follows instructions. We earned our first 10 stars in 4 days and our choice of reward was a popcorn volcano.  This is where Ms Toscano runs the popcorn maker but 'forgets' to put the lid on.  The popcorn explodes and the popcorn goes everywhere!!  What fun! Don't worry - we cleaned up the mess and we did not eat any popcorn off the floor!

Mac is our new Room 8 AWHI counter for Term 3. He has the very important job of counting up all our AWHI at the end of the week and writing the total on each Kete.  It's lucky he is a Maths Whizz! Thanks for your help Mac. Term 1, Ben was our AWHI counter and Erika was our Term 2 AWHI Counter.

Room 8 Construction and Inventions

Image
This afternoon, Rooms 8 and 9 worked together cooperatively to design and create inventions using construction materials.  This activity was a fun, creative and interesting way to end our current Inquiry topic on Inventions. There was boxes, cardboard, tubes, plastic, bottles, bottle tops and all sorts of other recycled materials available to the children. We had wonderful team work, sharing of resources, creativity and construction skills to make some interesting and amazing inventions. These included: *  Something to reach the phone for you so you dont have to leave your chair. *  Something that will give you endless popcorn and food at the movies without leaving your chair! *  A flying car *  Robots
