Quadblog

We are now in our third week of our Quadblogging project with three other schools, which are all based in the UK:
Horningsham Primary School at http://horningshamowls.wordpress.com
Humberstone Junior Academy at http://humboblog.primaryblogger.co.uk
and Bidston Avenue Primary School at http://kidblog.org/Miss_Taylor/.

This week our school will be the focus class allowing the other three classes to visit and comment on the our class blog.

Over a cycle of 4 weeks, each class has their week as the focus class. Each Quad gets to decide how many cycles are completed and when you have completed the cycles, you simply come back and register for a new Quad. More information available at http://www.quadblogging.com.

Water week 2014

Last week was so much fun! We were learning lots about water. We learned all about the water cycle which was great fun! We learned some songs about water and did lots of estimating and measuring with water in Maths. We also enjoyed doing lots of experiments based on water such as floating and sinking, dancing raisins, lava lamps, alkaseltzer pop and much more. We even measured how much air was in our lungs using water. It was really cool! All the Mums and Dads had a good time during our Open Water Day in school! They were very happy when they got to take home a tub of Eco friendly hand scrub! We hope we can do another water week soon!

The mysterious package: please help!

Today we received a very mysterious package in the post.

There were strange (but delicious!) sweets, maps of places in New Zealand and brochures about various aspects of tourism in New Zealand in the package… but no card; no letter or no hint about who sent it.

We don’t know who sent it but we do think it came from New Zealand, because of the postmark, the maps and the brochure. The only thing is…we don’t know anyone there!

Our clues seems to point to the South Island and an area named Haast or Taihaipe.

Look at our clues below and see if you can help us, please!

Rabbits are so cute
Are fast
Boxes are the good place for rabbits to live
Burrows to live in also
It has a fluffy tail
Twitchy nose
Smiles when he sees a carrot!

Footballs are spheres
On the pitch
On top of the net is where it shouldn’t be
Teams for football
Barcelona is a good team
A goal for Man United!
Loads of teams
Love football!

Fire
Foam, like a blanket on the fire.
I would like to be a fire girl
Run as fast as you can.
Engine – big and red!
