12th November - 16th November 2012
We have a had a very busy week!
On Tuesday a company called Capacity came and visited us to talk about ways to conserve water. They had different shower heads, taps and even half a toilet bowl to show us which ones are more efficient Miss S was please with some of the good questions we asked.
On Wednesday we were all excited at morning tea as we were lucky enough to see a solar eclipse. Kade from the Paua room brought to school some special glasses which let us look up at the sun. We saw the moon covering the sun and the sun looked like an orange crescent.
This morning during Discovery Time we made two water wheels. Here is a video of us testing it out.

We have been looking at the water cycle this week for our 'Turning on the Tap' topic. We are getting really good at describing the process. We made a terrarium to help show the process.
In Discovery Time we did some experiments with water. We filled a glass with water and put a piece of cardboard over the top. When we turned the glass upside down the cardboard stayed on the glass. This is because of the water pressure. We also put a screwed up piece of paper in a cup then turned the cup upside down and put it in a pot of water. When we did it correctly the piece of paper stayed dry.
On Thursday Alex from the mobile library bus came and read us a story in the library, we all love listening to him read to us.
