Ch ... ch ... ch ... changes

We conducted an experiment. We put vinegar in a plastic bottle, and baking soda in a balloon. When we put the balloon on the bottle, the baking soda fell in and mixed with the vinegar. Magic! There was a chemical reaction.  It frothed and blew the balloon up!

We were a bit worried it might blow up! Some of us were checking the exit. As Ms Jones was taking the photos we didn't get a picture of her getting sprayed with the vinegar mixture when she took the balloon off the bottle. The children really liked that part.

The autumn leaves are like a golden carpet

We love the swishing sound they make when we kick them and throw them around.

We are going onto the nature trail to look for skeleton leaves.

We really like the nature trail!

There are tall trees on the nature trail. Their leaves have all fallen onto the ground.

The nature trail is like being in the bush. We walk carefully along the path.

The leaves are very beautiful, but we can't find many skeleton leaves.

The kamar is the same colours as the leaves. She is camouflaged!

We looked down from the top of the nature trail.

Peter and Bella - the wheat-head people

 We made two new members for our class. They are made from wheat and sphagnum moss inside old stockings. Their names are Peter and Bella. Bella has pink eye-shadow and Peter has blue.

 We watered them every day and watched their hair grow. ....

 Peter has three bristly green hairs on his forehead!

 Bella's hair is growing faster than Peter's.

We put Peter into a smaller glass because his moss wasn't wet enough.

 Now he's catching up. 

 Bella has a beard! They are the roots of the wheat grains.

We had to put holes in the stockings because Bella was getting ingrown hair!
