Growing Greens

Rooms 3 and 4 have been very busy looking after all of the seedlings that were planted last term. We have discovered that our classrooms are not the best place to grow STRONG seedlings. Many of our plants have been stretching toward the light, so last week we shifted all of the seedlings to the pool area where we have made mini shelters. Many of our seedlings were also ready for transplanting so that was the next task.
Thanks to Melissa, Becs and Tina for helping our children to transplant many seedlings.

Len Lye Centre : Sound Explorer

Today Room 3 had a wonderful visit to the Len Lye Centre. We discovered a little about how sound works. The children entered a world of tingles, boings, crashes and ch ch ch. We had to tune our ears to the sounds of the kinetic sculptures and movies and think about ways to put movement with sound. In the studio the children cut and folded aluminium pie plates, attached other materials and constructed their sound sculpture. Hopefully they managed to play a tune for you tonight.
