Room 25 2018

Look at our swords and shields! 

Potion making has continued to be popular. It has evolved into making different sorts of food- describing what to put in, how to create it, making recipes and sharing it with our friends. This was the 'oven' We had to push a button and count down from 20 till it beeped. This was another oven, created with the wooden planks.

After a discussion about acorns,we decided to plant one and see if we could watch it grow. We also planted a few other seeds (beans and grass) just in case... Then we waited... And look what has started happening!!  The seeds have soaked up the water, swollen up and sent out roots and a shoot. We will be watching them carefully to see what happens next.

We have been thinking of ways to cheer up our frog, so we brainstormed what we knew about where frogs live to decide whether we needed to find a new home for our frog.  Then we watched a video to learn more about what frogs need to stay healthy and happy.  Then we decided our frog needed a nicer home. So we all helped to clean out the frog's house.  It was pretty exciting because we got to have a (gentle) hold of the frog in its temporary home.  And then, Yuto's dad kindly brought us a fern to go inside our frog's cage. The fern will help to keep the air clean and will give the frog a nice place to hide.  What a lucky frog we have! Our frog has been living on a diet of cockroaches lately, but if you have any (live) insects at home, please bring them in to share :)

Today we shared our classroom with Room 26 and we got to have a look at Room 26's dress up clothes. Arya and Nyahrose went straight for the Cat in the Hat costume- they knew exactly who they wanted to be! Then we read the story again- it is becoming a favourite. It is great to see these girls are so familiar with a story character and remembered what he looked like!

We can count backwards and forwards to 10 and match the tens frames too!
