Some children made some really cool pet rocks out of some big river stones. They painted the rocks and later added glitter, and eyes. The childre had heaps of fun making up wee shows using their rocks as the characters. It was great to see. I loved the descriptive language they were using as they played. Kai Pai Room 10 and 8.
The children also discovered if they put the magnetic sticks onto the posts outside they made awesome paths to the bottom. It was interesting to watch what was happening. We had a lot of fun watching and we had some great ideas about why they made the paths that they did....then we became real discoverers and used google to discover why the magnetic sticks moved like they did.
We discovered it was because gravity (the force that pulls us to the Earth) was stronger than the magnetic force. The reason the magnetic sticks went in a pattern was probably because of the bumpy surface on the poles we think- that was Rory's great idea.
