Our own geocaches

We had lots of fun making mini geocache huts and creating our own geocache map for the school grounds,


We also presented our learning at assembly. Check our our presentation:

Microgreens

In our class we are growing micro-greens.  They are little plants that you can eat. Most people liked basil.

First you fill a plastic cup or tray up with soil. Then sprinkle some of the seeds on it.  You have to cut out some paper and lay it on top.  Do not take it of until it has pushed itself of.  After that you wait for it to grow but you still have to water it.  Then last but not least you can snip of some of the stalks of and eat them.  The cress tasted dry and crispy, but still nice.

We are looking forward to watching them grow and then eating them!!

Habitats for Life

In room 10 we have been leaning about habitats. 

We learnt about warmth and what you need to make a perfect home.  

We have joined a (pretend) job called Habitats for Life. We got to make all the things that made an office feel like an office. We even have a hot chocolate machine! We got to pick what our names are and how old we are. Now we are going to make our houses for a animal or person of our choice. If we think our project would really help we can make it. Also remember we are only building a model.

This is just the beginning of our project and we will share more about it over the next few weeks.

Harold

Last week our class went to see Harold in his van. Our instructor was called Charlotte. We learned about the Circulatory system and went through it. We also learned about carbon dioxide. We went to Heart Central station. Every time we stopped at a body part we meet different characters from Heart central station. Some of them were going in the body and some were going out of the body. On the first day we went, we got a book from Harold. It was called Heart Central. When Charlotte turned on the screen Charlie the Conductor would tell us where we were and what the internal parts of the body do.

We learnt some interesting facts like:

• We take 20,000 breaths a day
• Children's hearts beat 120 times a minute
• You need to drink water to keep your kidneys healthy
• Water takes the rubbish out of your blood
• 1800 litres of blood pump through the kidneys each day

In Room 10 we make sure that our bodies get enough food, water and oxygen to keep us healthy.
