Bubble Art

After we finished our Science in a Van lesson about bubbles we shared our learning through creating bubble art.

We had a lot of fun creating bubbles in different ways. We thought about the shapes, sizes and colors of bubbles.

Our Bubble Celebration

Today we celebrated getting 10 big green fuzzies in our Piwakawaka Team bucket. To get these fuzzies the whole team needs to be doing the right thing at the same time. We needed to make sure we were giving 5 and using our listening ears on the carpet.

Mrs Ibell brought in a bubble machine for us to have as part of our celebration. We were very excited and had so much fun chasing and popping the bubbles!

Science in a Van

Today we had a visit from Alan and Emily from Science in a Van. We learnt all about bubbles and other different mixtures.

We learned that when we get 2 or more things together we have a mixture. Some things mix together really well and some things don't.

We got to see experiments using little bubbles, big bubbles and bubbles inside other bubbles! We were so impressed by all of the amazing things we saw!

Jacob was spotted giving 5 and was chosen to help Alan on stage. Jacob put bubble mixture on his hands and had to catch a big bubble made with dry ice. He did such an amazing job!

Assembly 4th March

Well done to Devante for receiving a certificate in assembly today for showing out school values, and being a Burnside Primary Shining Star. Tian Xi started last week in our team and received a welcome certificate today.

Making Good Choices

During Hui time today we discussed what good choices look like in Piwakawaka. 
We had some pictures and we had to spot when the children were making a good choice. Some of these included when the children were packing up, giving 5 and being a good friend. 
After that, Mrs Ibell and Mrs Shamy-Brown used some puppets to role play different situations which might happen during our school day. We then had to help the puppets make a good choice in the particular situation. 
At the end of Numeracy time, some children were spotted making good choices. Can you see what their good choice was?
