Terrible Two - Chapter 29

Hi team,
as we can not be together it is really difficult to read our shared novel. Difficult...but not impossible. I have recorded today's chapter for you, and you can listen to is by clicking in the following link.
WARNING: You might want to wear headphones, so that everyone in your family doesn't have to hear Mrs May's voice. 😁

Enjoy, and come back tomorrow for chapter 30.

Moving into new territory

Hi Parents and students of Room 4,

Today we move into some uncharted territory for our learning, so I thought I would resurrect our Room 4 blog, which has been a trusty measure in sharing online information in the past.
Bookmark this page on your computer, and visit it for updates and links,

Together we will get through these times of uncertainty,
Kindest Regards
Mrs May

Science in a van

Mixtures. Reactions. Explosions. What a fascinating start we had to our Wednesday. What do you think we were learning about in Room 4 this morning? We were visited by Emily and Allan from science in a van this morning, and they captivated our interest with their incredible science experiments. They taught us about forces, and they taught us about bubbles.

Allan showed us how to make bubbles using a mixture he had made. He made small bubbles. He made enormous bubbles, he made even made bubbles inside bubbles.  He filled bubbles with the gas of dry ice, and they became heavy, and plopped down to the ground. He filled bubbles with helium gas and they floated all the way to the ceiling.

Emily taught us how to make predictions about what we might think would happen when she created a mixture. We had to think about whether they might separate, or whether they might have a reaction. Then we learned how to make observations, and talk about what we had seen happen.

There was so much fun science to get involved in, and Emily and Allan got us to talk, ask questions, make predictions, make observations...just like real scientists.

It was a fantastic way to start our learning, and we feel very lucky to have been a part of science in a van.

Ghost - By Kyle Mewburn - a book review

Ghost is a story about a family who buy a fabulous new house in a fancy part of town. They can't believe their luck when they get the house for a really cheap price. But, when they move in strange things start to happen, and their great house doesn't seem so great any more.

We recommend this book for children aged 5 and up. It is a great story for teachers to read to their class.

"We liked how when Ricky was living at his old house, and every time he pulled his curtains he could see his neighbours, Mr and Mrs May kissing" - Eve and Hollie
"Our favourite part was when the ghost was playing likes of tricks on the family." - Matilda and Cassidy.
"I liked it when the ghost filled all of the locks with bubblegum." - Harry
"My favourite part was when the ghost turned Ricky's cricket whites pink in the wash," - Harvey and Matty
"I liked how Stu was commentating the cricket in the back yard," - Sam
"I liked it when Ricky was walking around the cliff and the ghost pulled, down his pant, tied up his shoelaces, and pulled his jersey over his head," - Tom
"I liked it when we found out how the ghost had died," - Ned
"We liked it when Ricky met his neighbour Fi," - Alec and Jared

This is a really funny book, and we looked forward to reading a new chapter every day.
