Room two had a wonderful time at the starlab.
We learnt about some of the stars and their special names.
Wow the starlab was such fun. We had to crawl in the dark to get inside. They let Mrs Mortensen in the side because of the wheelchair. She was waiting inside with the torch. We saw lots of interesting things.
Bailey has learnt all his purple words. He only needs to learn his green words and he will become our first king of our bee hive. Enya is our second Queen. Congratulations you two.
Wow Chloe is it going to go in?
Every time you get the ball in the hoop you get one point.

Next we carefully put 2 tablespoons of baking soda into the balloon. We fitted the balloon over the neck of the bottle and tied it on with string. Then we lifted the ballon straight and the baking soda fell into the vinegar. Straight away the balloon went up.
We filled our plastic drink bottle one third full of vinegar.
First we tested what happened when you added baking soda to vinegar.
Mrs Mortensen welcomed Felicity and Noah. Renata won the award for perserverance.
Bailey showed us how he could skip.
Go Ryan.
Mrs Olsen won the Duffy Mother's Day award for all that she does for Foxton Beach School. Thank you Mrs Olsen.
Mr Baker gave out the house points.
Eve is our first Queen of our bee hive. She now knows all her pink, purple and green words. What a great reader you are Eve.
Well done Taliah.
Well done Renata.

Jayden and Tyrese.
Joshua, Enya, Taliah and Ryan all got a 100% in their maths test on Friday. They could tell Mrs Mortensen the number before. Count backwards from 10 and add up some sets. Well done everyone.
These awesome students have got their spelling correct for eight weeks. Well done Taliah, Eve, Enya and Rayden. They all got a prize from the prize box.
Look what Eve found in her garden. Eve had a sensible container to bring her find to school. We let it go at morning tea time as it was about to have her babies. She had a very fat tummy. We put her where the birds couldn't get her and she would have lots to eat.
The milk has now soaked into the bread of the full fat milk and the cream has dried up leaving a layer of fat around the bread. Flies has started to land on the bread and it had begun to stink so we had to throw it out. On the low fat milk white mould had started to grow in the middle of the bread.
On day two the low fat milk had soaked into the bread. The full fat milk was only half as full. Around the third piece of bread the cream had become like a custard.
We used our three different containers of liquid from our first experiment. Low fat milk, full fat milk and cream. They all had three drops of yellow food colouring and a squirt of detergent in each. The cream container was very difficult to take to the science table as it was so runny.
Look at those swirling patterns.
Wow it exploded out to the edges. You have to watch carefully as it is very fast.
We thought the food colouring looked like a bear or a dog. What do you think?
Mr Baker is going to squirt the cream.
We are putting the food colouring into the cream.
Mr Baker was on release so he came in and helped us so Mrs Mortensen could video and take photos.
Woops we put far too much food colouring into the low fat milk so we had to start again.
We sang our song "Singing in the Rain."
