Room 19 Chefs in the Kitchen!

 


Peter made meringues, Eva made double choc brownies, Claude made sushi, and Leo made Anzac cookies. Yum! Maybe we need a Room 19 Master Chef challenge?!


Maddy and her dad made a delicious potato gnocchi!


And Shivani made some yummy peanut chikki.



Staying Healthy - Maddy, Claude, Shiza and Leo

 


Maddy completed some of our health learning activities this week - she wrote some facts about nutrients, and also learnt about bones in the human body.



Check out Claude's T chart of healthy and unhealthy foods. Do you agree with him?



Shiza not only completed three of our health learning challenges, she also checked out Mrs Johns' word challenge - looking for words with double letters in them!



Another healthy/unhealthy T chart, this time from Leo - do you agree with him?

Lilou gave some of the Tate crafting activities a go at home - here is her soundscape and collage efforts.


Here is some artwork that Gyzharn wanted to share with you.


And here is Maddy's awesome kaleidoscope!



From Peter: Yesterday we watched Nanogirl and we made a catapult. We tested it, but whenever we sent it off it went in a different direction to the camera on grandma's phone!

Shiza's Monster, Maddy and Lilou's Word Find, Peter's Muscle Facts & Beldum Homework, Leo's Monster!

 

Shiza took on Mrs Johns' design a monster challenge from The Cottage blog.





Maddy and Lilou completed the human body word find challenge from our blog.


And from Peter, some facts about human muscles:

1.       The cardiac muscle is found in your heart.

2.       Skeletal muscles  are voluntary muscles

3.       The adult human skeleton has 206 bones

4.       There are about 600 muscles in the body

5.       It takes 6 muscles to move your eye.  An eye moves 100,000 times every day







And Leo's monster, 'Blockamus Horns'!

Human Body - Interactive

Take a look at this interactive to learn a bit more about the systems of the human body.

The human body is amazing. It can move, grow, detect what’s going on around us and even mend itself (usually). It gets what it needs from the food we eat and gets rid of what it can’t use. 

This interactive lets you take a peep at some of the systems within the human body.
