Armchair descritive writing

The rosy red armchair sat abandoned in the dark corner. The bottom sagged so low it almost touched the ground. For such an old chair I was surprised that it had no holes in it. As I sit down the chair puffs up around me so much that I think it will pop like a balloon. Dust wafts up around me in a choking grey cloud. I rest my arm on the arm of the chair and stroke it. When it was new it would have felt nice and velvety but now it feels crusty, like bits of food were stuck on it, the longer you sit in the chair the further down you sink until you feel the springs poking into you. The old light bulb flickers as I stand up, the chair sighs as if in relief.

Week 3

We have finished our armchair drawings and descriptive writing and it is on display. It is great to see the splashes of colour around the room but also to be able to share each others' writing.

Science Fair Examples and Ideas... Aim & Hypothesis....

Check out some of these examples of previous Science Fair Works showing how an Aim and Hypothesis can be written.

Week 2

We have been very busy with developing science fair questions this week. Hopefully by the end of the week most of the class should have a pretty good idea of their question and can begin researching to find the science behind their question.
We have also begin some experiments in class.
The first experiment was looking at an irreversible change - changing a liquid to a solid ie making butter.
Yesterday we did crazy canisters! Luckily the weather stayed fine for us to do this outside as this is definitely an outside experiment. This experiment was looking at the chemical reaction caused by combining a base with an acid. There were canisters flying everywhere!

Term 2 - Week 1

We begin our exciting Term 2!
Hard to believe that we have reached Term 2 already. This term the main focus is Science Fair. It is always amazing to see the end results of each students Science Fair each year.

I will send home updates on the Science Fair and homework this term revolves around completing a Science Fair investigation.

Room 3 has unfortunately had to say good-bye to Mason, who has left us at the end of Term 1. We were all a bit sad to say good bye but he is excited about his new school and the opportunities on offer for him. Hopefully we will see him again at some stage to hear how he is going.

We also welcome Lachlan who has joined us today.

Week 11

It's the last week of school already!! It seems that as if it was the first day yesterday! For the past 2 weeks Room 3 has been doing ASPIRE. ASPIRE is when you have to write about something that has happened throughout your family history. I have had a lot of fun doing it and I have found things out that I didn't know!

Week 9

On the 1st of April Room 3 went to the museum. We learned about the early settlers and early Dunedin. Everyone enjoyed dressing up and doing a drama. Room 3 visited the Chinese Garden and then went back to school. I enjoyed the trip.
