Walking Water
CAPILLARY ACTION EXPERIMENT
We have been learning about capillary action. This is where we make water walk. We have learnt that water is sticky... yes sticky... water likes to travel together.
What we did.
We first placed 400 mls of water in a jar and dyed it blue. Then we took two paper towels and placed one in the blue water and the other in the empty jar. Then we watched the magic happen. The water started climbing up the paper towel.
This is due to the water being sticky and the paper towel being porous.
Water climbed up the paper towel until the water in each jar was evened out.
Then we wondered....
What would happen if we added 400 mls of yellow water?
Well the answer is this.
The yellow mixed with the blue in the middle jar and made green dye. But, to our amazement the green in the middle jar also traveled to the end jar and turned it this beautiful turquoise colour. All the water in the jars evened out.
WE LOVED THIS EXPERIMENT!

Circus Quirkus
Circus Challenge came to our school and after the great show we got to learn some circus tricks. We learnt how to spin and move the circus plates. Next, we got to play with the circus sticks - which are harder than they look! With a bit more practice we will be ready to wow our audiences.

Rhyming our spelling poetry
Rhyme with “OT”
WALT use rhyme to help us with our spelling.
On Planet Zot,
We lose the
plot,
It’s so hot,
You always
get a shot,
We live in a
cot,
We love to
wear dots,
We love the
parking lots!

On Planet Zot,
An alien
sits on a hot, cot,
And it’s got
vots,
Which means
bot, dots
And we love
to count dots.
