Our theme at the beginning of October was the ‘Fire Station’. We learned all about what firefighters do in our community. We had lots of fun pretending to be firefighters and putting out fires. We even decorated our own fire engine to transport us to the fires.
We also talked a lot about what happens to plants and animals during the season of autumn. We used autumn colours and different materials like pasta, Lego and even some broccoli to print autumn trees.
For Halloween we spent the week before the holidays with a ‘Witches and Wizards’ Potion Lab’ in our classroom. We mixed potions in the lab and had big boxes of water which turned into magic potions when we added the magic glitter to the water.
In science we experimented with objects that float and sink. We also discovered how to make paper boats float on water. To make the boats float we made sure that we covered the paper in crayon, we then folded them into the boats and took turns testing to see if they floated on the water.
