Plants in Room 2

In room 2 we have some new plants. We have a strawberry and tomato plant. Before Miss Nua bought them we learnt what plants need to live and we learnt that plants start growing in spring becuase there is lots of sun and rain. Plants need sun, water and dirt to live and grow. We are going to look after them and hopefully get to eat some yummy strawberries and tomatoes soon.

Look at the colour of these strawberries!

Making rockets!

This term the whole school is focussing on space and the Kia Kaha team is specifically looking at seasons.
On Monday the whole school watched the movie Home which is about an alien. 
Here is some of our writing that we did about the movie Home.

Then we made rockets and had a competition in our team to see whose rocket could go the furthest.

 We made our rockets using a straw, paper and a stapler. Then we had a little competition in the classroom and talked about ways to make our rockets go the furthest. 

 In the afternoon we met up with Room 1 and 3 and had a competition to see whose rocket would the furthest. It was pretty windy so our rockets flew pretty far!

We had lots of fun and are now looking forward to learning about the seasons!
