Terrariums, popstick building and assembly practice

Swimming is over, and we're glad because it was so tiring. We had fun though, and we learned a lot. We looked like completely different swimmers by the end of week 2.

Sorry for the lack of new news! Swimming took up so much of our time and energy that we couldn't fit much else into the day, other than our regular stuff like spelling and terrarium observation and maths.

Did we tell you about terrarium observation? We call it our science journal, and it means that every single day we do three things for science: we write down what has changed in our terrariums from yesterday, what we think the change will be tomorrow, and we draw exactly what we see. Our journals are coming along quite well.

We've been practising for our assembly on Friday and we're coming along well. Here are our two songs, so that we can practise at home.

NOTE: these songs are really loud! Mr. F had problems changing the volume when he recorded it! Please be careful to turn the volume down, for people who are sleeping or have heart conditions.

Here are some pictures of our terrariums.  The part of the water cycle we can't see is the water that gets heated and rises into the air - that's evaporation. See how the water gathers at the top? We call that condensation, or clouds, because the water gathers and creates clouds. When it gets heavy and falls back into the soil, we call that precipitation, or rain.

That's all for now. Start thinking about your costumes, Bilbies!


Sincerely,

Mr. F, Mrs. V and the Blogging Bilbies
