Measuring our Shadows

My shadow is 

black.

My shadow is

shady as can be.

My shadow

plays tag with me.

My shadow is like

a cloud floating in the sky.
At night I wave my shadow goodbye and it disappears.

Suter Trip at Nelson Library

These are some of our stories about the trip.

At the Nelson Library we mixed the colours. We read a book called, My Many Coloured Days.
Different colours can make different feelings, happy, sad and excited. Purple makes me excited, grey makes me bored and blue makes me happy. It was at the Nelson Suter Library. My favourite was the painting of the man. I painted it dark pink.                       by Hazel

We went to the Nelson Library  and we did some art at the Suter Room. We were doing stuff all about colours. Pink makes you happy and black makes you sad. I will tell you some of them. Purple makes me relaxed, brown is a very sad colour. Different colours make you have different feelings like sad, happy, excited and there is a lot of other ones too.                               by Casey

We went to the Nelson Library and we painted a person. We picked up pastels and wrote our feelings down on a piece of paper. I will tell you some of the feelings, happy, sad, scared and frightened. Purple makes me feel happy and grey makes me feel sad.
The lady read us a Dr Seuss story called, 'My Many Coloured Days.'               by Sophia

I went to the Suter. It was a room in the Nelson Library. My favourite thing that I did there was colouring my ginger-bread man, purple. We got a story read to us. It was called, My Many Coloured Days. My Many Coloured Days was by Dr Seuss. Sometimes colours can have feelings in them. On blue days I'm bored. Bored as can be you see. Colours have feelings in them too.            By Connor

Space

We have been learning about the 9 planets in the Solar System, also our moon and the sun.

These are the craters that we made.

Mr B showed us how the planets stay in orbit around the sun by turning a bucket of water in a circle really fast and no water came out because of the centrifugal force - it was really cool to watch.
Yesterday Room 1 did a really fun experiment. Craters on the moon are formed by asteroids, meteorites or comets when they collide with the surface. The craters will never erode away because there is no wind or rain on the moon.
