Enviro Day

May Road School is an Enviro School.  To help improve our environment, each class undertook a project.  Room 2 decided to paint a mural on the concrete block wall of our deck.  As we are learning about plants and gardening throughout the year - and painting- we thought it would be a good idea to paint a mural of a garden scene.  We were so fortunate to have some volunteers from SPARK help us and Geri too.  We had so much FUN and painted a beautiful picture!

Primary Science Week

This week was Primary Science Week and the topic was soil.  Classes did a soil experiment using soil from our school grounds.  Brian organised the equipment for us all.  He put some soil in a jar.  We added water, stirred it all up and then left it to settle.  What will happen? 
















Sharing ideas with a partner



We thought about what might happen (prediction) and then thought of some questions to ask so we could learn more about soil (scientists ask questions)

Look at the stratification!

Room 2 children are learning to paint and so we need to learn about colours. To help us, we painted colour wheels.  Mrs. Swain put out the 3 primary colours - red, yellow and blue - for us to use.  We had to mix the primary colours to make secondary colours (orange, purple, green).

Science

We are learning about plants and gardening.  On Monday, Room 2 planted the seedlings we had sowed, with our buddy class Room 14 and with Brian.

Last Friday, we made paper flowers to give to our mother for Mother's Day. 
We:
1. Layered different coloured pieces of tissue paper
2. Folded the paper like a fan
3. Tied the paper in the middle with a pipe cleaner
4. Gently prised apart the layers of paper
5. Gently shaped the flower.

It was challenging in parts for nearly everyone, but we persevered and the children were so proud of their beautiful craft work. Well done Room 2!
