We had a visit from the local firetruck and firemen. This was very good and the children learnt the important message of 'Get down, get low get out, fast!" We also were given a display of how powerful the hoses were and ended up getting a wee bit damp from the spray.
On Thursday and Friday we spent a lot of time doing experiments and writing about bubbles. We learnt all about the different types of clouds- Cirrus, Cumulus and Stratus. We spent some time looking up at the sky and using our special cloud viewers to identify the different types. We also made bubble blowers or used my bubble blowers to experiment with bubble mixture. Everyone had such a great time and were amazed at how high some bubbles floated. Afterwards we did some great writing about bubbles. Check these stories/poems out in the classroom. we even made special bubble print backgrounds to display our work.
Lastly we did some mixing of substances with water. we had to look very closely for changes to our water mixtures. We also discovered that water doesn't mix with oil and the oil lies on top of the water in a distinct layer.
