Saving our Silver beet

Room 1 had a problem. Our Silver Beet was dying. We decided to start with an Inquiry. Our big question was - What do we need to do to save our silver beet? We did some research during reading time. We used the internet for our research. Then we came up with a plan. We had to treat our soil, replant our silver beet and then make sure we give it enough water and care. Mr Robinson came in on Friday to tell us how to treat our soil and he helped us to replant our silver beet. We learned so much.

Writing in Room 1

This week Room 1 has learned to revise and edit their writing. We learned that when you revise your writing you need to re-read to make sure your story make sense, you need to make sure that you have included everything from the Success Criteria and you can add more interesting words. When you edit you fix your spelling mistakes and add capital letters and full stops.

Preparing for the Science Fair

Room 1 is preparing for the Science Fair coming up in Week 10. This week the students were exposed to different Science Demonstrations. On Thursday Room 1 did the demonstration of building your own volcano. It was pretty cool to see the baking soda erupting out of the clay volcano. We also going to look at the Fabulous Foamy Fountain on Friday where peroxide mixes with yeast and foams up out of the plastic bottle. It looks like a real foam fountain. The year 3's are going to prepare for the Science Fair in Week 10 and the Year 2's are going to do some cool Science experiments with Mr Blake over the next couple of weeks.
