Science in a Story

 Cooper the Ant!

Te Pihi read a great story called 'Grant the Ant.' We learnt a lot about an ant colony, the ants' tasks, and their life cycle.

Cooper wrote a great story and was our 'Writer of the Day!'

Then Cooper volunteered to act as an ant and show part of the the life cycle. Science is fun!

The queen lays the eggs.
When the larvae hatch out, they spin a cocoon around themselves.

Breaking out of the cocoon after four months! "How's that!?"

Now he is called a pupae. He wakes up so hungry!

Off goes Cooper the Ant to find food wherever he can.

Mm-mm... yummy ant food at the Seedling Cafe!!

Inquiry topic "From Garden to the Table"

We have been learning how to GERMINATE seeds in our classroom WITHOUT USING SOIL. First we pushed a seed into wet cotton wool. Then we put that into a small plastic bag. After one week, most of our bean seeds are already spouting. We will be watching them over the next few weeks and recording what we see. Soon we will be able to transplant them into our school garden where they will hopefully grow into larger bean plants. We can't wait!

 Bubble Fun!

Everyone had so much fun at the recent bubble show. 

                                           We have learnt some scientific words by having fun!

A special mixture!

Will it separate?

Reaction!

The presenters were most impressed by all of our tamariki
and their advanced thinking skills!

Some of our best science questioners.

Watch out Jackson...

Woops! Bubble pop on head!

Thank you Emily and Alan for a great, interactive, fun show!
