Dance

The second part of our PE focus for this term has been dance.  Room's one and two worked together to learn a combination of folk dancing, jump jam and hip hop.  Here is a little video of our wonderful dancing skills.  Great dancing everyone!

Buddy Class

Yesterday we played long ball with our buddy class.  We had so much fun out in the sunshine.  Thanks room 6 you are awesome at long ball!

Science

What's on our hands?

Blake's mum is a microbiologist and works at a vet clinic.  She very kindly dropped in to talk to us about bacteria and showed us an example of bad bacteria that can be found in cows.  We talked about bacteria that we carry on our bodies. To test this out, each child put fingerprint samples on agar plates and Michelle took them away to incubate them overnight.  Yesterday she returned with each plate.  We were all surprised to see just how much bacteria we have on our hands.  Parents, this should make the children wash their hands thoroughly!

Making Ice cream

Edible Science

Delicious!  
This week room 1 made ice cream.  We turned the liquid cream into a solid cream using ice and salt.  We shook the cream, vanilla and sugar inside the small bag which was sitting inside a bag of ice and salt.  We had to shake the bag for about 10 minutes. 
The ice cream was so tasty.  We hope you can use the recipe to make some at home.
