Frozen Hand Experiment

Yesterday Room 9 did an experiment with water and a glove. 

Mrs Burge filled a glove with some water and we all passed it around and talked about how soft and squishy it was. We learnt that the water on the inside of the glove is a liquid. 

Then Mrs Burge showed us a glove that she had put in the freezer the day before. It was so different to the glove we just felt! 

This one was hard. It was also freezing! 

We found out that even though there is still water inside, it was not a liquid anymore. It had turned into a solid!

 Here is Emily holding the water hand and Eric holding the frozen hand. Look how different they are!

Once we took the glove off we all felt the frozen hand. We noticed that the frozen hand was starting to melt as we all touched it. It was turning back into a liquid!

We left the frozen hand to sit during the day, We came back to check on it at different times to see how much it had melted. 

Certificates

Last week we had lots of exciting celebrations!

Eric and Ellen received Principals certificates. 

William and Mia received gift cards from the I-Spy Mathathon. 

Well done!

Learning Mandarin

The Mandarin learning assistant came to Room 9 to teach us how to write the numbers 1-10 in mandarin. 

2D shapes

We have been learning about 2D shapes.

We used the shapes to make a picture, we drew around them and coloured them in to make lovely 2D shape pictures. 

Our first day in Room 9

We had a great time in the home corner.

We loved drawing and colouring at one of the Writing tables. 

The train track is awesome!

We have made friends already!

We started to make a display All About Me with Miss Bycroft. 

Mrs Burge read Jaylee's Transition to school booklet.

We all got certificates to celebrate our first day at school.

What a fun day we had!
