"We done some art. It was sketching our faces with Mrs Strickland." - Monique
"We have been skyping Room 25 and asking them how things grow and they have been telling us how." Amelia
"Our science experiment was that we dropped the mystery pills in hot water and we waited and then they started to break and they turned into little sponge animals." - Blair
"We've been planting beans and peas outside of our classroom." - Sienna
"We've been learning about how things grow." - Kaitlyn
"I hope you have a nice day in India." - Cruz

Our experiments and observations

 
We have learned big words like hypothesis, observation, and experiment. Tell mum and dad what they mean.

 
What were we observing here?



 
What happened to our mystery pills? How come it didn't work the first time? What had Miss Eyre forgotten to do?


 
What colours were these roses originally? How have they changed colour?



 
And look at our fantastic peas and beans just 2 weeks later!!

World class scientists in Room 6

 
We are scientists in Ruma Ono.



We like to magnify things so we can really observe them!


 
Ask me about the germination process that we discovered.

 
What happened to our seeds?



 
What happens after germination?


 
These photos were taken 3 days apart. What changes can you observe in the photos above and below?

 
Each student has an observation log. Let me tell you about my one.
