Our topic is now all about how to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We have started our learning by watching this video and designing a mini poster to encourage people to recycle.

Measurement
We are learning about millilitres and litres. We had to measure and compare different amounts of liquid. We used different sized containers and measuring jugs.
Room 14 Quotes about our Learning
"I learnt how to measure using a measuring jug" Jamie
"We used dye to help us measure, this helped us see the marks on the jug clearer" Isabelle
"We saw that 1000mls is the same as 1L" Rosie
"I learnt that 250mls is equal to 1 cup" Oscar
As a class we also worked out that there are 4 cups in a litre because if you add 250 mls together 4 times it will equal 1 litre, we could also say 250mls multiplied by 4.

Liam's Teach the Teacher
Liam telling us how to make a slushie
You take a bag of ice
Add one cup of salt
Put your choice of juice into a plastic bag
Tie the top of the bag and add it to the bag of ice
Tie the big bag of ice and wrap into a towel and gently massage the ice for at least 10 minutes
After 10 minutes the juice freezes to make a delicious slushie, yum

Weeding & Weird Worms
Today Room 14 had an Enviro Day with Mrs Daniel. We read about worms, dug up worms, watched worms and even found a new type of worm none of us had seen before.
Also, before morning tea we explored the native bush walk. We identified the native trees, but also discovered some pest plants too.
After our break it was time to analyse our lunchboxes; We asked ourselves, "After I've eaten everything what will be left for the worm bin, compost, recycling or landfill?" The Enviro Stars had nothing at all for the landfill. Well done them.
In the afternoon we listened to "Diary of a Worm" and weeded the edible gardens. We also fed the soil with worm tea from the worm farm.
Here's what we thought about our day:
"I learnt gardening is fun." Chanel
"Worms have an important job." Isabelle
"We're learning to take care of the environment." Vera
"We've been pulling out weeds, cause they're not supposed to be there; they'll take space and nutrients from our veges." Mia
"I liked weeding. I learnt white flatworms eat earthworms." Ben
"Touching things is fun no matter what it is ... not poo!" Tom
