Roald Dahl

As part of book week we are learning about Roald Dahl. He was a fabulous writer who used amazing words to describe the characters and what is happening in the story. We have been having a little look around his website. Check it out:

Keep Dunedin Beautiful


Today we went to a show called Keep Dunedin Beautiful. The message of the show was even though you can't see rubbish, doesn't mean its disappeared. So put your rubbish in the bin. It was a clever play because they were entertaining but they taught us something. We learnt that tidying up now will help our future otherwise we will end up with no fish and chips!

Science Rapper

Today we saw a science rapper who was quite funny and taught us about water and energy by singing rap songs. We also got to rap a little bit. We learnt that there are little molecules in water and when water is ice the molecules move very slowly. When the water turns into vapour the molecules move very quickly.

"He was very good at singing and explaining science to us" (Milly)

The main message of the show was to ask questions and be a curious person because then you will learn new things.
