It's movie time

Tomorrow, for the last day of term... after our basic facts, spelling and art... we will get to watch an absolutely fantastic movie and eat delicious popcorn. I'll provide plenty of popcorn for everyone.

If you would like to bring something along, you are very welcome.

Happy holidays everyone!

Petri dishes

We are learning to write instructions. We are also learning about germs - we have been doing experiments on them. Have a look at the slideshow below... and prepare to be amazed!

Room 24 tested areas around the classroom for germs.

Materials:
dirty hands
clean hands
cotton buds
petri dish
sticky tape

 Method:
1. Dip dirty fingers in a petri dish.
2. Dip washed fingers in a petri dish.
3. Test other classroom areas with a cotton bud.
4. Seal the petri dishes with sticky tape.
5. Put the petri dishes in a warm place.
6. Watch bacteria grow...

 Thank you Chris, Edward's mother, for giving us all the petri dishes. 

We had a visitor

We were lucky enough to be visited by a member of the Armstead family, Gloria the bearded dragon. Bearded dragons are very trusting reptiles and will let you pick them up. They like eating mealworms, and like children, don't always like eating their vegetables. Gloria wasn't eating her carrots the day she visited.

Gloria's favourite food is.... cockroaches. She likes to chase them.
