From School Garden to our Plate

We took home some vegetables from our school garden. Here are some photos of us eating our school grown produce. We will show our photos to Pip and Harold the Giraffe from The Life Education Trust when we do our Healthy Eating unit on 26th June.

My Dad made this sandwich. It had lettuce in it from our school garden. It tasted really good because it went well with the mayonnaise. Louie

Mum made a sandwich for me.  She put bread out and then I put some lettuce from the school garden on it and Mum put bread on top. It tasted good.  Delrio

 This is my soup that Dad made from the school spinach. It tasted nice. Leo

Mum cooked up some silverbeet from our school garden. It tasted really good. Nate

My Dad cooked some burgers and we had the school lettuce, cheese and chicken on burger buns. Devon 

Leo and his violin

Leo brought his violin to school and he showed us  the A string, and the D string and what  notes he could play including F sharp. He showed us two different ways of playing - using the bow and plucking.

Thank you Leo. We enjoyed learning about playing the violin.

Crystal Making with the OutReach Scientists

On Tuesday Dave the Scientist came with his science students Jacob, Caleb, Michaela and Sian to make crystals in three different ways with us.

First, we put nickel sulfate in cold water and ammonium sulfate in hot water. When we put the two liquids together, blue crystals started to form.

Then we made crystal gardens using metal salts in water glass. We made individual ones in sample tubes and a class one in a glass jar. You can see the photos of our amazing crystals gardens.

Finally, we had three tubes of different solutions of silica jelly and we used the dropper to put liquid carefully on the top of the solutions. The crystals will grow where the liquids meet. We need to check them to find out which solution made the crystals grow the fastest.

At the end, we had fun with dry ice.
