Colour wheels

We have been learning to make secondary colours by mixing primary colours. We are making our own colour wheels. This week we used red and yellow to mix and make red-orange.

A magical moment in Room 15.

What an amazing experience for all of us. We actually were able to watch this caterpillar transform into a gorgeous, sparkly, green chrysalis. It was so exciting to watch as the caterpillar wriggled itself until eventually it's skin dropped off, (into Mrs Keeley's hand) and left us with the chrysalis hanging on the plant. Click here find out some facts about monarch butterflies and caterpillars and here to watch a video of the transformation of a monarch caterpillar.

As big as a crocodile!

This week we have been reading a book all about zoo animals and we have been learning a lot of interesting facts about American crocodiles. We learned that a baby crocodile is born at about 23cm long and can grow to be a whopping 3.7m. We measured out 3.7m on the mat and discovered that it was about 3.5 children long. Have a look at Bella, Caiden and Jamie S head to toe making up the length of a fully grown American crocodile.

Having a ball!!

OnThursday we went out onto the field to learn some new soccer skills. We had a great time playing games like traffic lights and cat and mouse.

Mad about bugs!!

Room 15 children are crazy about bugs and often bring them in to visit!! Here is Jamie S with his praying mantis.

We also have a new addition to our Room 15 family - 4 monarch caterpillars that we will watch grow and change over the next few weeks.
