20 Hour Famine



Jules came from World Vision to talk to us about doing the 20 hour famine. So when she left we talked as a class and decided to have a rice day on Friday.For morning tea and lunch we ate rice. We also didn't use lights or our computers for the day. We raised $95 from it for World Vision.We hope what we raised was enough for a school's water tank.It tasted YUM :)Some people in the class also did their own 20 hour famine and got sponsers. Altogether our class raised about $829.Thanks to those who sponsored us. By Anna

Maths - Rainbow Jellies


Our class was doing measurement for Maths.Mrs Hawker said that we could make rainbow jelly.Fergus bought ten packets of jelly,he bought five different colours and two of each.As a class we decided on what order the colours would go in.Mrs Hawker gave us all a sheet and we went back to our desks.On the sheet we had to decide how many millilitres we were each going to use for every colour.We were all allowed to us 200 millilitres.Then it was time to make the first layer of jelly.Mrs Hawker mixed the jelly up and we took turns to measure out our jelly and put it in a cup which we had put our name on. We left it to set.We did that over and over again untill we had put all of our colours in.Then one afternoon we got to eat our jelly.It was yum. By Jasmine
