When Room 4 came back after the school holidays we were given a letter from the author

Sally Sutton.  We all loved reading her letter.  Here it is for you to enjoy:

Being a Scientist Day

 Being a Scientist Day - Thursday 26 June

Today we all dressed as a scientist because this term we have been focusing on what it is like to be a scientist.  We have been enjoying doing lots of different experiments as well.

Ask your child what experiments we have been doing and what they found out.

Enjoy looking at the photos of our special day:

We enjoyed Sally Sutton's visit so much we decided to send her a card and share our writing about her visit.  This is what it looks like:

 

Ice Block Day

 Ice Block Day - Friday 23 May

The students in Room 4 made their own orange ice blocks.  We all enjoyed them today! YUMMY!!!!

Science in a Van

 Science in a Van - Tuesday 20 May

Today Science in a Van came to Point View School.   Allen used a bubble trumpet to make bigger bubbles.  Then he made huge bubbles with a wand.  He pushed the bubble up by creating air around it.  He talked about making a bubble mixture and the word mixture means putting two or more things together.  Allen used water and dishwashing liquid to create the bubbles.

Then Emily put water, food colouring and cooking oil together and we made a prediction what could happen.  The oil and water separated and the oil rose to the top.  

Then they put vinegar and baking soda together to make a mixture and it made a reaction.  The two mixtures bubbles, fizzed and foamed.

Allen made a bubble go inside a bubble, how clever!  We talked about air being inside the bubble. 

Here are some photos for you to enjoy:
