Marbling on Ice

On Friday mornings Taieri Beach School children have been learning about properties of ice, and conducting some little experiments, where they have been predicting outcomes, observing & describing what they see. The last activity with ice was to paint onto trays of ice where the paint initially froze then as the ice thawed we saw some beautiful marbling.

Working together to achieve success

Maths - Learning about Mass

This week we have been comparing the weight of objects using ruler "see-saws" and measuring scales. We have been encouraging the children to use words such as heavier and lighter to compare the weight of objects.

At home you might like to make your own "see-saw"  and then use it to compare the weights of small objects.

Bug City Café Adaptions

The children found they had to be resourceful when predators (possibly rabbits, possums, birds including the neighbour's hens) enjoyed scratching up our well-prepared site for the Bug City Café.
