New World Mini Collectables

The children at North East Valley Normal School are very excited because today we are having a mini collectables swap.  We love mini collectables because they are so cute, they are well made, they are fun to play with, they are realistic, you can play shops and you get to use play money.  The best thing about having a swap is we will be able to help each other to collect a whole set.  Lots of kids in our class are close to having a whole set.  Riley only needs 4 things, Jack needs one it is potatoes, Lola needs three, Lochlan needs the fruit and tomatoes, hopefully someone in our school has what we need.

Magnetic Force

Room 8 have been learning about Magnets.  Today we learnt that magnets have an invisible magnetic force that attracts things to them.  We wondered if the force was strong enough to work through things like paper, glass, leaves, wood and plastic.  We did some experimenting to find out.  Miss B could make a metal tie stick to her ear by putting a magnet behind it, the magnetic force went through her ear lobe! Some of the things, like the table, were too thick for the force to remain very strong so the attraction was not great.  Here are some of the other experiments we did.

Plays

We have been working on reading aloud with clear and expressive voices. Here are some of the children doing plays at reading time.
