MAKE IT MONDAY: Move it-Music Toy Challenge

BUBBLY HYDRANGEAS

Some of us chose to opt in to Mrs Lunn Art Workshop to make Hydrangeas.

We mixed paint with dish-washing liquid and water to make a special solution.  We used straws to blow bubbles into the solution.  Then we carefully placed our paper over the bubbles.  The bubbles left a coloured print on our paper that looked like hydrangea flowers.

When the flowers were dry, we made the leaves to add the finishing touch to our art.

We think they look beautiful.

BREAD MAKING

Yummy......  Bread making was easy and, unlike the hokey pokey, Mrs Kenyon didn't burn it.  Delicious!

  

Lemon Toast

What do you think would happen if you squeezed lemon juice on bread and put it in the toaster?  Check this out.

  

OUR MEASURING AFTERNOON

Some of us made pikelets!  

Yum - thanks Mrs Ruawai. 

Jayden and Tasman weighed Lambchop on the scales...

Conner and Jesse used the weighing machine to measure how heavy a maraca was.

MAKING LOLLY LOG

Some of us got to make lolly log with Mrs Kenyon today.  We had to crush biscuits, measure butter and do lots of stirring.  It was yummy......

MRS PECK WROTE US A LETTER!

FUN WITH SHADOWS

We got a letter from our Shadows today! 

They are feeling neglected.  They say we do not notice them or play with them anymore.  Our Shadows asked our teachers to help them get us kids to find out all about shadows and how they are made.

First we brainstormed with Mrs Kenyon everything we knew about shadows which was actually quite a lot!  Some of us had a few Wonderings about shadows too.

Then we started to Explore shadows.  Here are a few photos of what we got up to...

We made Puppet Shows using our old data projector.

We made shadow puppets using our hands.

We had to problem solve too.  It was really hard to hold a torch and draw around a toy, so Kyle asked Miharo to help him by holding the torch.  Great problem-solving Kyle.

Emily and Mia worked together to draw around a toy's shadow and then used the blocks to measure how long the shadow was.

Luccas, Ryla and Miyah we investigating what  objects cast a shadow.  Here they are finding out that even a ruler casts a shadow... even though the ruler is transparent.

Conner A and Jacob L found out that they could make shadows on the whiteboard.  

Connor B came along and gave it a go too!

WE GOT A LETTER - FROM OUR SHADOWS!
