York Valley Landfill

On Thursday week 2, Room 6 went to the York Valley landfill. We saw lots of rubbish in a big hole 32 meters deep - it smelt like diarrhea!  There were 5 trucks. We stood on a high mountain covered with rocks. We saw some gas pipes and a compactor. There were some trucks dumping stuff in the huge hole. Max in room 5 found a McDonald's toy. I saw some stuff I would want.

Pirate Lavender at Isabel's house

On Friday night Pirate Lavender and I went to the Giants v Saints basket ball game.  It was very exciting because in the last minute the score was a tie, but then the Giants scored and the score was 88 to 89 to the Giants. Then we went home to bed.
The next day we went on the Spooners Tunnel walk.  It was really dark.  At the end we popped out into a clearing with trees around it. Then we had to walk back - it took ages but it was worth it!

Maths time in Room 6

In weeks 1 & 2, term 3 room 6 has been learning about volume for maths.

Volume is the space inside of something. Last week we were finding out the volume of containers with water. One day we did an estimate and an investigation to find out how many teaspoons fill a cup. We found it hard trying to find out how many teaspoons of water fill a cup.  We discovered that a teaspoon holds 5 ml, a cup is 250 ml and a 1 litre milk bottle is 1000 ml. The hardest question was how many milk bottles fill a bucket?

Tree Planting

On the 6th August, Tuesday we went to the beach to plant trees. We planted about 125! To plant a tree you need to:

1. Dig a deep hole with a shovel.
2. Check if the hole deep enough.
3. Take the plant out of the pot. If this doesn't work bang it against your shovel.
4. Tickle the roots (if needed)
5. Place the plant into the hole.
6. Fill the hole with dirt.

In the middle of tree planting it started raining! It was really funny because people started wearing carpet.
