Creative Kidd-li-winks

We have been learning how to make pom poms. To make a pom pom we have needed to show lots of determination. We looked in Pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/ for some ideas and inspiration. Pinterest is a place where you can find lots of ideas to make and create. 

We planned what we wanted to create and began creating. Sometimes our plans worked perfectly and sometimes we needed to make changes to our plans because things didn't work out as expected. 

The Kidd-li-winks have shown so much creativity and have problem- solved when ideas haven't worked. Look at some of the amazing creations.

Camp Lealou

I learnt to stand one meter away from archery and I could hit the target. I really enjoyed hut building because it challenged me. Camp was lots of fun!

Legendary Leopards Max

I really enjoyed the water slide because it was a bit bumpy and it felt good on my tummy and I don't let the pads stop me instead I spun around on the water slide and waited in line. The teachers made a amazing race! One of the things you have to do is find a walnut shell and go to the pool and find a way to get the shell across the pool and I skimmed it across the pools and my team came 3rd.

Water Slide

The water slide was a real favourite at camp. It was sooo  much fun even the teachers couldn't resist giving it a go. Well done to all children who went out of their comfort zone to go down the water slide. Ahhhhhhhhh!

The children got more and more confident and went flying through the air like Superman and crashing into the rugby pads...sometimes bowling over the parents. We all loved it lots. Can you see the horror and excitement in our faces all at the same time?

Can you spot the only crash on the water slide? Who was it?

Capacity learning

We are learning about capacity

Our challenge was to work out how many milliliters were in each container

We knew 

1 cup = 250mLs 

1/2 cup = 125 mLs

15 mLs = tablespoon

5 mLs = teaspoon

 We used the measuring equipment to add up amounts until the container was full. 

Jerome and Toby problem solved and made a funnel out of paper
to get the beans in a sauce bottle to measure it. 

The Ovals were scientists with some blood. They had blood and had to subtract mLs of blood. They used eye droppers to measure the mLs. 

Henrietta solved 32 divided by 4 by
finding half of 32 and then half of 16
=8. 

Caitlyn has 32mLs to divide into
4 containers. She tried 6+6+6+6 and
then added 2 more to each container
32 divided by 4=8

The Pentagons and Crescents had some alien slime that they needed to divide into different containers. They had to count the mLs carefully to make sure the same amount of slime was in each container. 

Faith calculating 27 mLs shared
into 3 containers

Mya and Sharie measuring in mLs

Emma showing determination
to solve 24mLs shared into
4 containers. She tried 5 in each
container and then added 1 more.

The Kidd-li-winks made up their own potions

The potions would explode if
-Any one of the ingredients was 100 mLs
-If the whole potion was not exactly 600 mLs
-If there were not 6 ingredients
-If the ingredients were not measured accurately

A big thank you to Mrs Morton, Mrs Coombs, Mrs Hansen and Mrs Morgan who gave up their time to help us get ready for Market Day. It wouldn't have been such a success without you. 

Thank you to Zane's Mum and Dad for supplying us with the freshest vegetables for our Butter Vegetable. They were delicious. You can find their yummy vegetable shop on Havelock Road just behind Parkvale. Highly recommended by me.
