Family Treasures

Hello All

This term we are learning about Family Treasures and have put together a colorful display to showcase some of the 'special things' we treasure. We hope you like them.  All of us have been investigating the origin of our name, who chose it and it's special meaning. Each of us is a 'treasure' for our family.

Sunday salad

We have been learning about plants and soil this term. Our class filled an egg tray with compost and planted seeds. We watered them every second day and placed them close to sunlight. After three weeks we noticed that they had grown towards the light, and they were identified as mustard sprouts. As a class we decided to use them in a salad and called our recipe Sunday Salad. We hope you join our journey.....LEARNING, CREATING AND SHARING!

Celery surprise

We did a experiment about green healthy celery in amazing blue food coloring.We decided if it was going to turn into blue food coloring in the celery but only some of the blue food coloring went in the holes and the skin of the celery.

Celery Surprise Reflection:

When the celery went into the food colouring it had little blue dots.We found a little bit of blue coloured vessels.It smelt stink and yucky.

Rhino

Rhinos are very important to the earth because they are nearly extinct  because some people only kill the rino to take their horn off and sell it to get over a 5,000,000 million dollars.
