Crazy Science Show comes to town.

Wow, we didn't know Science could be so much fun. We learnt about mixing chemicals, what polymers can do, using air pressure and even how a nappy works! 

Remember what the 'scientist' said- don't try these experiments at home! :)

The finished products: Creation Station Fun #2!

After the dust had settled and the hot glue gun sticks had been used up here's what we had made...

...an eclectic mix of robots, buses, trucks, castles, spaceships and of course unicorns!

Well done Room 12!

Creation Station fun!

What do you get when you mix the enthusiasm and creativity of 24 year one children with boxes, bottles, plastic tops and lids, pipe cleaners, tin foil, ribbon and string, cardboard tubes, sticks, scissors, glue and cellotape?

      ... a huge mess to clean up!
                                       
                                          and a lot of fun and learning!

First we made a plan of what we wanted to make and what we would need for our creation. Then we were let loose with our plan, in a class full of amazing things to cut, stack, wrap, stick, twist and colour.

We had lots of opportunities to practise problem solving, working together, sharing, adapting, modifying and thinking outside the square. It was also a chance to develop resilience as things didn't always go as we had planned or wanted!

Watch this space for the finished products!

Calendar art.

We have been working on our calendar art  and it is now all finished and up on display in our cloak bay. We didn't put it on our outside windows for you to view as we didn't want the sun fading all the beautiful bright colours before they were sent away. Come along before or after school and check our amazing efforts! A form for ordering the calendars/ cards etc will be coming home today.
