Bubble Painting!

Today we got to experience science and art at the same time...

We spent time learning all about bubbles, like how they are made, why they pop and what they look like in slow motion.

Here's a video of what we saw...

Then we learned how to use bubbles in art.  We added paint to the bubble mixture we had already made.  Next we used straws to blow bubbles so that we could put the paper onto the bubbles. When the bubbles popped they let prints on the paper!

Here are some photos of us in action...

Making Mosaic Stepping Stones

This year the Enviro Group have been making mosaic stepping stones during our lunchtimes.

First we had to decide what designs we wanted on the stepping stones.

We watched the video below to help us make meaning of the mosaic process.

Once we had decided what we wanted to mosaic on the stepping stones, we collaborated to fill 6 stepping stones moulds with different images. 

Finally we were ready to pour concrete into the stepping stone moulds. 

                                         

We can't wait to see what out stepping stones turn out like!

What are we cooking today?

It certainly smells pretty yummy in the kitchens at Stonefields this morning! We have two break through groups cooking today. We have build our knowledge about the recipes and the ingredients we need. Today we are applying our understanding by cooking macaroni cheese and chocolate chip cookies. Yum! Yum!
