ICT skills

Yesterday afternoon we had the school laptops. We practised typing our names and changing the size and colour of the letters. Next we practised writing some of the words from our reading books. We used words from around the room to help us, and we could even spell some of the words from memory!

Colour experiment

Last week we tried a cool science experiment. We put some milk in a bowl and a few drops of yellow, red and blue food colouring. Then we put a cotton bud in some dishwashing liquid and put it in the milk mixture.

Nikau thought the milk would go rainbow coloured.

Hine guessed that the colours will make a pattern.

Jack said that the colours might turn all dark.

Here's what happened.....


Wow! We were so excited when the colours started swirling around. Room Two are very keen to try another science experiment soon.
