Science is AMAZING!

• I think that the Hairy Harrys grow overnight. Molly


• I noticed that the Hairy Harry in the meat tray had no soil but it grew and grew and grew. Andy


• I noticed the Hairy Harrys grew more than yesterday. Kirra


• I noticed that one had yellow hair - the one in the cupboard. It didn't have any sunlight. Georgia


• I've noticed that my Hairy Harry has grown more hair and the water is going down. Will H


• I've noticed that the roots are getting longer because they are sucking the water. Jake


• My Hairy Harry didn't have much hair. Aerodyne


• I noticed that my Hairy Harry has grown more hair than yesterday. Matthew


• The Hairy Harry in the cupboard with no water grew one hair. Sienna


• I noticed that the Hairy Harry in the cupboard with water has grown yellow hair because it didn't have sunlight. Caoimhe


• I learnt that the Hairy Harry can grow yellow hair because it didn't have any sun. It's important that the Hairy Harry has sun. Oscar


• I noticed that the one in the meat tray that has no soil has grown underneath its eyes. Will P


• The Hairy Harry has yellow hair because it didn't have any sun and then it would grow green hair and not yellow hair. Eva

Better Buddies!

Our Preps are very lucky to have the best buddies in the school - our Grade six students.

Our Grade sixes have helped the new Preps to settle into school and feel happy and safe.

THANK YOU to our Grade six students.

Look what happened!

Take a close look at our photos.

What do you notice?

One of these Hairy Harrys has been in the cupboard with water. One has been in the cupboard with no water. One has no soil - but has water and sunlight.

ALL our Hairy Harrys are growing!

Some of our Hairy Harrys have more hair than the others!

We have been drawing what we see (observe) into our Hairy Harry diaries.

Then we label our pictures with words just like real scientists!

EXCITING NEWS!

Our Hairy Harry's have started to grow!

Not all our Harry's are sprouting - I wonder why?

HAIRY HARRYS!

Today we were wondering how seeds grow and what they need to grow.

We made 'Hairy Harrys' (We put grass seeds into a stocking and then put some soil in. We tied a knot in the stocking and glued on eyes. We put water in a jar and sat Hairy on top. See the slideshow below)

• I wonder what will happen if we put one Hairy Harry in a cupboard?
• I wonder what will happen if we put one Hairy Harry in a cupboard without water?

Some Preps thought that the Hairy Harry would grow in the cupboard and some Preps thought that it would not grow without sunlight.

Some Preps thought that the Hairy Harry in the cupboard without water might grow, but probably not because seeds need water and sunlight to grow.

Like all good scientists we will watch and observe our Hairy Harrys and record what happens!
