Making Playdough - what changes can we see??

Today Room 19 explored solids, liquids and gases by making playdough! We began by looking at a recipe and writing down all the ingredients and measurements we needed. We talked about which ingredients were solids, which were liquids and watched how the water turned into a gas when we boiled the jug to make our boiling water. Next the fun began...in groups we took turns measuring, mixing and kneading the playdough. Once we had made a big ball we shared it out equally and added whatever colour food colouring we wanted. Some of us even decided to see what would happen when we mixed different colours together!

Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes!

We are in our final term and are finishing the year with a BANG by looking at states of matter and all the changes that occur in science. Last week we talked about hot/cold and heating/freezing so what better way to experience what freezing looks, feels and tastes like than by eating some ice blocks!

Goodbye until 2017 Harold and Lynn!

Today we said goodbye to Harold and Lynn for another year. Thanks for helping us learn all about healthy eating. Now we can use our knowledge of healthy food and physical fitness to be tomorrows Olympic Champions!

We will miss you Harold...see you in 2017!

Where are you Ms Peck?

Ms Peck was away today so in honour of her absence we cut and glued and made a big mess on Ms George's table! We saved your table for Monday Ms Peck... I think we may paint it as well!

We hope you had a lovely day at University and really missed us!

Rio Olympics 2016

Immersion Assembly is always a great time to share and see what each Team are going to be focusing on during the Term. Check out our Team 1's Immersion Assembly Movie! Rio Olympic 2016 from Team 1 PES on Vimeo.

Term 3 begins!

Crazy to think we are already in the second half of the year! We have a very exciting term ahead with our inquiry focus being the Rio Olympics. As a class we will be looking at all the habits of healthy athletes - healthy eating, drinking plenty of water, making sure we get lots of sleep and heading out to exercise. Today, we started exploring the different types of sports in the olympics and created some pictures of what we saw on our iPads. Ella and Perseus created some lovely pictures of the swimming race we watched!

Our visit to the Art Exhibition!

Today we went to look at our art exhibition in the hall. All the students at Point England had created a beautiful piece of art in Term 2 which is displayed in the hall this week. We loved not only seeing our own pictures hanging up, but also getting to see what all the other children had been creating!
