Taste Testing

Together we made our special Butter Vegetable sauce. Yummmm!

A huge thank you to Rana's Mum for the yummy recipe. 

We loved it!

We taste tested vegetables to find out what tasted the best in our curry. 

After that we voted what should be in our curry on Market Day

Potatoes, carrots and some cauliflower.

It is going to be delicious.

Calculating time

We are learning how to calculate time.

 

The Pentagons had a QR code time challenge. Each of the QR codes had a time problem to solve.

Congratulations to Caitlyn and Henrietta who won the QR Quiz Challenge. Great calculating girls.

 

The problem

We needed to be at school by 8:30am on mufti day. We had to work out what time we would need to start getting ready so we arrived on time.

 

Here is some of the thinking

for Mufti day

The next problem caused lots of laughs. The Kidd-li-winks choose what they were going to get Mr Gifkins ready for. He had to be ready by 7:15. What time did he need to start getting ready?

Advertising using PowToon

The Kidd-li-winks challenge was to create an advertisement to get people to buy our product, Butter Vegetable. We used Pow Toon and our challenge was to problem-solve and work out how to use PowToon in the best way to create an effective ad.

Room 8 would like to say thank you to Connor who came and helped us use PowToon. You were a wonderful expert and taught us all lots. 

Naan Bread and Rangoli

Together with our buddy class we are preparing for Market Day at the end of Week 5                      (14 November). 

We are making decisions about the healthy snack we are going to sell at Market Day.

We have made naan bread, both plain and garlic, and are deciding which will be best for Market Day.

We read books about rangoli patterns and made some of our own. The Kidd-li-winks and Room 2 worked really well together to create their patterns. Rangoli is usually made during Diwali and are welcoming patterns. 

Some of the beautiful rangoli created

A big thank you to all the parents who have come in and helped us during our making and creating. We appreciate it lots.

Advertising our Businesses

We created small businesses. Our challenge was to choose an animal each and think of a talent it could have. We used the talents of the animals from The Giraffe the Pelly and Me to begin our thinking. We then needed to use the talents and our animals to create a business.

There was lots of great team work and discussions.

The last part of the challenge was to create an advertisement for our business using some of the advertising tricks we have been learning about.

Blending

We have been learning to blend colours together. 

We will know we can do this when

-We use dark, medium, light and white

-We overlap the colours a little

- When we overlap the colours we 'pull' a little bit 

of a colour into the next colour.

We read The Giraffe The Pelly And Me and loved it. The Duchess is called Henrietta which made us laugh. This story by Roald Dahl inspired our art. 

We think you should read The Giraffe The Pelly And Me it is a great book.
