Daily Fitness

With the spell of good weather were able to go outside for 10 minutes fitness. Today we completed a circuit of running, climbing and stepping stations so that we could increase our heart rates. Once we had increased our breathing and our heart rates we checked our pulses to see whether their rhythm had increased or not. We were all able to locate our pulses in our necks and we discovered that our heart rates had increased.

Science: Fizzing and Bubbling


We continued this afternoon with our science experiments. This afternoon Room 4 made sherbet. We predicted what we thought the sherbet would taste like when we made. Some of the children remembered that when you add acid to baking soda it will fizz. Some children tried the sherbet without flavouring and discovered it was not to their liking.

Bradley: When we got lots of different powders when we were at Science Alive. We found out that adding baking powder to acid made it fizz.

Caius: The saliva caused it to fizz. the citric acid made it sour.

Our Blog Begins

Welcome to our Room 4 blog. Our plan is to use the blog to keep up-to-date with happenings in the classroom.

We hope you will use the blog to find topics to discuss with your child over dinner. As the class learns more about blogs we will be changing the look of the blog to best suit our needs. Please tell us if you can think of great ideas for how we can improve our blog.
