Wonders of Wednesday

Today we had an interesting day. In the morning, we went to the Undercover Area to watch the Year 2s parade their costumes for One World Day. Each child had to go to the microphone and show us their costume and tell us what country they came from. Some of them even said hullo in their special language. Then the 2 classes sang a song and we joined in when they sang "We Are the World". Some of the teachers cried when Maren sang a bit by herself.

Mrs E put some dinosaurs in cups of water and froze them. When they were really hard, she broke the cup away and it looked like an ice rock. Then we were allowed to be paelaentoligists and chip the ice away to find the dinosaurs. We had to put goggles on to protect our eyes and gloves on because the ice was really cold. We had to be careful of ice popping out of the container. It was fun.

Indee tried to hit the ice but it kept slipping around.

She discovered a blue diplodocus.

Emily discovered a strange green and yellow dinosaur.

Eloise was in the Discovery Centre tapping the limestone rocks with her little hammer. Then she looked at them with the Magnifying Glass.

Mrs E bought some crayons that drew on windows and mirrors. Shannon and Emily had a great time making pictures and swirls. When it was clean up time, Mrs E was a bit worried - but it all came off.

Matthew was a brave fireman and raced to put out the fire.

Connor made this cool superman at lunchtime.

At 2.30 we went to visit the Year 5 classes to see the fantastic animal enclosures they had made. They were amazing.

We are all excited because we are going to the museum tomorrow and are going on a big bus ride. Some of us have never been on a bus before!
