Ambury Farm

What a fabulous day we had down on the farm today! Thanks to all the parents who came with us. A farm in the middle of Auckland city - aren't we lucky! Guess what the highlights for the children were?

                                    

Our Healthy Fruit Bowls

"I like the background and all the other colours," said Jenson.

"They look so interesting with all the different colours," said Hayden.

"The patterns on the fruit bowls stand out," commented Jessie.

"We crunched pieces of coloured tissue paper to make our bowls and our fruit," explained Grace.

 

Science in the Classroom

More fun while learning how to make new matter out of different ingredients. Space 10 are making their own pikelets and butter with Ms Rodgers.  Space 11 are making Chocolate Crackles with Mrs Le Sueur.
Make some of your own in the holidays. Here's the recipe - it makes enough for about 6 paper cases.

1 cup of rice bubbles

1 tsp cocoa powder

1/4 cup of icing sugar

50 grams of Kremelta

 



Chocolate Crackles - Yum!

Our Favourite Song

Space 10 love singing - watch a video of us singing our favourite song "If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake..."

Cross Country

On your marks! Get set! Go! Monday was the cross country race. Everyone tried their best and had lots of fun.

Friday Art

Our new art project - 65 still life fruit bowls coming up! Can you guess the process?

Ask the children to explain it.

 

What's Happening to the Bread?

Space 11 have been investigating what might grow on pieces of bread. The bread was left for several days. They have made some interesting discoveries. Which bread would you like to eat after a week?

Experiments: Taste, Smell and Touch.

Our senses are very important. We have been having fun putting our noses, tongues and hands to the test.



 

 

 

Dare. Dream. Do. Congratulations to the winners.

Today the winners of the best costume were awarded a certificate and a small prize by the Chelsea School Council. All the costumes worn by the children on the last day of term were very creative and well thought out - it must have been hard to choose the best!
