A few exciting things to blog about!
We are continuing our inquiry into WATER - today we looked at how a rainbow is created.
We did a science experiment:
You could try this at home....
Using water to make your own rainbow:
You need:
A torch or light.
A couple of glasses or containers of different shapes.
A box or something to put the glass on.
A surface to see your rainbow on, it could be paper or a light, flat, floor or bench.
Method 1
Fill the glass with water and put it up on a box or bench.
Shine the torch through it at an angle that’s fairly flat but towards the ground.
Move it around a bit, until you can see a beam of light on the surface next to your glass. Have a close look and there should be a rainbow at the edge of it
We also talked about the colours of the Rainbow and a fun way to remember the colours
ROY G BIV
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
Next week we will be doing several science experiments during week and during week 9 we will invite you (parents) to come in and have a look at some of our learning.
A RACE TO THE TREASURE:
Watch out for information about this coming home this week!
- Maths FUN!!!!
- Once the children know all they need to at a certain stage they will receive a piece of treasure and move on to the next learning step.
I have started a 'Maths Treasure Bag'
your child will get a turn at bringing this bag home AT LEAST once a term.
Happy Learning!
Thanks,
Cat
Jacob enjoyed this very much! He had a blast with the beads, grouping them in fives, adding, subtracting was much faster!.He also counted upto 100 and even writing them. Awesome piece of treasure..
ReplyDeleteWow what a treasure bag alright!! We had a good look through everything tonight and plan to do as many activities as we can over this week! So much to choose from! Regan called the bag "the prayer bag" and we had to lay a mat down on the floor so he could set everything out!!
