Room 1 has been inspired by Gustav Klimt's Tree of Life. This is work in progress. Some of us are learning that to paint takes a lot of focus and perseverance. Here's Jeremy hard at work.
Today we learnt that a queen bee lays 1,500 eggs a day? So that made us think. How much is 1,500? We used popsicle sticks to show how much 1,500 is. We grouped the sticks in 10's and then cunted in 100's all the way until 1,500. We learnt that we had to be careful not to say ten hundred but say one thousand.
Wednesday 31st August: Room 1 has planted a potato in a bucket. We hope that it grows into a potato plant. The potato in the bucket needs to be watered and it needs sunlight. Mrs Jeffery's told us at school assembly that a potato plant takes 90 days to grow. We looked on our calendar and counted that it would take 3 months so that means our potato should be ready on the first day of December.
