Measurement

We have begun to learn about measurements.

First we compared who was the smallest to the tallest in our class.

Then we used metre sticks to see which items were tall and smaller. We found out there are 100 cms in a metre.

Science

We have been investigating how sound is made. We discovered objects have to vibrate to make a sound.

Through our experiments we discovered fast vibrations makeĀ  high pitched noises and slow vibrations make low pitched noises.

Making Compost

As part of our Farm to Fork topic, we learned about growing food. We discovered plants and trees are very important for our environment so we decided to help our planet by making our own compost. We layered recycled paper, leaves and fruit peeling in a plastic bottle, sprayed it with water and placed it in our warm cupboard. It will take a long time but we are hoping we can use it to plant some seeds in the Spring.
