Look what has happened ......

Some of our Hairy Harrys have started to grow hair!
Not all our Harrys are growing. I wonder why?

This Hairy Harry has no soil! Look how it has grown.

No soil.

Here we are!

Why do you think only some of our Hairy Harrys have grown?

Why is the Harry without soil growing so well?

Marvellous Monsters!

Watch out! Prep K have created their own Marvellous Monsters!

We were very creative today and used lots of different materials to make our monsters. We hope you enjoy the show!

I Wonder ..... What happens when we look through our coloured glasses?

Today we made some glasses so that we could look at our world in a different way. We decorated them and chose some cellophane to put over the lenses.
Before we went out to explore, we thought about how our playground might look. Would we see different colours? How would the colour of our glasses change the colours we saw?

Here are the discoveries we made:

Hamish discovered that green glasses didn’t change much.

Nothing changed in the playground with green glasses. Nicholas

Mia discovered everything looked pink through the red glasses.

Kobe discovered that the playground, which is blue, looks purple through the red glasses.

The running track is red and when we looked through red glasses it was orange. Aly

Green leaves change to yellowy-green when you look through yellow glasses. Hannah B

Everything looks yellow when you wear yellow glasses. Bethany

The blue bin looks purple when you look through red glasses. Hannah A

The red mushrooms turned green when I looked through green glasses. Ben

The sky is pink through red glasses. Matthew

The yellow paper looked orange and the blue paper looked purple looking through red glasses. Annie

29th February 2012!

Prep D and Prep K HAD to celebrate this very special day by making the number 29!  

29th February 2012!

What is a leap year?

When will the next leap year occur?
How old will you be?

I Wonder ..............

To help us begin to think and wonder about the world we have made our Hairy Harrys. We were thinking about what the Hairy Harrys need to grow?  Together we decided that the Harrys need water, soil and light to grow.


Hairy Harry in the cupboard (no light).

What would happen if we put a Hairy Harry in the cupboard (no light)? Hannah B thought the Harry would die. Some Preps thought the Harry would not grow.

Hairy Harry - no water.

We also have one Hairy Harry without water - what will happen?

We have one Harry without soil.

Hairy Harry - no soil.

We are being real scientists and are watching (observing) our Hairy Harrys to see what happens.

Watching ... waiting ... watching ...waiting .... I wonder what will happen!

Here we are with our Hairy Harrys.
Keep visiting to see what happens next!
