Another Germ Update

Tomorrow it will be one week since we started our bread and germ experiment.  We have notices some major increases with the mold growth.  The outside rubbish bin definitely has the most with the lilypad and front gate close behind.  We are also starting to see small dots of mold on the library book, Mrs B's phone, the class rubbish bin and the pencil.  All of these things have grown green mold.  The hand piece of bread is growing white mold.  Tomorrow we will investigate the different types of mold.

An Update On Our Germ Experiement

We thought we would give you an update on our germ experiment that we started on Friday.  We made a prediction that the toilet seat would be the first to grow mold but we were wrong!!!!

Flu Free Friday!

Today Room 5 looked at what we can do to avoid getting sick this winter.  We looked at how easily germs spread and what we can do to stop the spread of such illnesses.  We then have started a science experiment to see what places around the school have the most germ.  Most of the class have predicted the toilet seat.  Where do you think will have the most germs?

Room 5 Camp to Hanmer Springs!

This year we were lucky enough to start our year with a camp to Hanmer Springs.  We stayed at the Forest Camp Holiday Park which was a fantastic facility with all wee needed to be comfortable.

Activity Hanmer were incredible at running all the activities which were archery, bush skills, mountain biking, rock and tree climbing and low ropes.

Each night we had fun at the hot pools and our parents were on the waterslide more than the kids.

Welcome to 2020!

Welcome to 2020 in Room 5!  We have a busy, fun year planned and I can't wait to watch you learn and grow over the next 12 months.

Getting Into The Christmas Spirit

Today for writing we had to follow a set of instructions to build a gingerbread house.  This was a fund learning experience that had a us all fully engaged.  After we had followed the instructions and built the house Mrs Bailey took the instructions away and we had to write our own instructions as a group for others to follow.

SPCA Visit

Our topic this term has been 'Giving Back' which is looking at what we can do to help or give back to our community in some way.  This has be done by both Room 5 and 6.  One group decided to raise money for the SPCA and held a mufti day and sold muffins to fundraise.  In the afternoon we then we into Greymouth to donate the money to the SPCA.  We were so proud of the support we received for this as we managed to raise $230!  Below are some photo's of our visit:
