Look At These Seeds Grow!

Click here to go to Wonderopolis to see some seeds growing

The seeds grew really fast and the roots were wiggling at the bottom.   By Oli

It was cool watching the seeds movie because they grew really fast!   By Coredae

The plants were so fast at growing in the video and I really liked it because it was amazing.
By Kaitlyn

The seeds were so fast at growing. The sprouts were growing fast and so were the roots. The roots looked like tiny little worms! By Leland

Seeds Experiments

Leland

Do you know  what seeds need to grow?

This term we have been doing some science experiments and thinking about how seeds grow.

Tuia

We gave one seed water, sun and soil to grow.

 

Oriah

I see great big green leaves and a bright green stem.

Kaitlyn

I think it will grow big and get healthier because it has everything it needs.

Brooklyn

I wonder why it needs soil and sun and water?

Shayne

Can a seed grow without water?

We gave one seed just sun and soil to grow and….. NO WATER!

 
Naina

I see nothing. I see soil. 

Oliver

I think the seed needs sun. I think it needs soil and water too.

Kayce

I wonder if it’s not going to grow at all or if it’s going to grow later?

Ashton

Can a seed grow without soil?

We gave one seed just water and sun and ….NO SOIL!

Ryley
I see a seed with a little sprout and a root growing out and the root has a black end.

Dylan

I think the water is like milk and the seed is like a baby. I think the seed is sucking up the water like when a baby drinks milk.

James

I wonder why the seed’s skin is coming off  ?

I wonder what plants are for?

Oli

Can a seed grow without sun?

We gave one seed just soil and water and…. NO SUN!

Coredae

I see a tall white sprout and really small yellow leaves at the top of the sprout.

Rylan

I think the plant is a little sick because it is so pale and it needs some sun.

Alex

I wonder how the seed knows it’s dark when we put it in the cupboard?

Our Assembly Item - Seeds

We have been learning about cycles and looking at the plant life cycle.

We have been doing our own science experiments to work out what seeds need to grow.

SOLO helped us with our thinking skills and we used the model:

I See......

I Think.......

I Wonder.......

Last Thursday we had our assembly item and shared with everyone what we have learnt about seeds. Mrs Beach was very proud of us as we were fantastic on stage! Everybody enjoyed our bean dance too!

 Check us out in these very cool movies....

In these movies you can't see our slide show so you will have to go to the Seeds Experiments post.

Soccer Training

I liked being the giraffe. I had to hold the ball and stretch up high.
By Oli

I liked balancing the ball on my neck and making it fall off my neck.
By Andrea

I liked soccer because we were balancing the ball on our neck and it was kind of hard. I managed to balance the ball on my neck and I felt proud of myself!
By Alex

I liked the soccer because we played the Animal game and I had to be a camel and balance the ball on my neck which was a little tricky. But I got the hang of it! I liked the Cat and Mouse game because we had to try and kick the ball to the end when the teacher wasn't looking. It was funny because Ashton kept standing still even when the game had finished!
By Leland

I liked playing Shark Attack and loved being the fish. I didn't see Alex coming to eat my ball. It was funny because I nearly didn't get Leland's ball but then I did and I ate it!
By Tuia

I liked playing Animals and being a giraffe. I had to put my hands up high and put the ball above my head.
By Brooklyn

I liked the soccer because it was fun playing Cat and Mouse.
By Coredae

I liked kicking the ball.  Coredae was really funny when he kicked the ball.
By Naina

I loved playing Shark Attack because I was it. I was a shark and I had to pretend I was eating the balls. It was very funny!
By Kaitlyn

I liked Shark Attack because we had to show the sharks our tiny little bums! The sharks showed their strong muscles and then the sharks attacked the fish!
By James

I liked the Shark Attack because we had to get to the white cones before the sharks grabbed our balls.
By Shayne

I loved Shark Attack because someone caught me with the ball. I did a very good job on the first go because no one got me!
By Rylan

Music- Room 14's Rhythm

This term we have been going to Music with Mrs Bevan once a week. We have been learning to read music and play rhythms by clapping or using instruments.

Have a go at playing this rhythm at home by clapping, tapping something, banging on the floor or playing an instrument.

Kiwi Art

Here are our fabulous kiwi art pictures. We have used pastel and dye. If you like our kiwi art you can buy a calendar, diary or set of cards with our art work on them. They make great presents for family and friends, especially for Christmas.
