What happened when Mr Jones came to visit?

We have been studying statistics in maths, and we had a strange visitor...Mr Jones (who sometimes wears Ms Werder's clothes) is in charge of a big cereal factory.  He was looking for a new cereal, and asked Room 1 to help him with his research.  He asked the children what they usually ate for breakfast, and we have learned how to show our findings on graphs and tally charts.  We have also learned how to use a table, and we understand that they help us to see patterns easily.  It has been fun inventing THE BEST EVER CEREAL IN THE WORLD!  We still need to design a container for it, and maybe let Mr Jones sample the product.  We are sure he will like it, as we certainly did!

'Today at school we are working out how we care going to make the Best Ever Cereal in the World.  We have to decide which ones we are not allergic to.' - Maha

'We made a table of what wea re going to put in the Best ever cereal in the world!' - Cullen

'Today we made the best cereal in the world.  We used: cocoa pops, ricies and cornflakes.  We had to mix the ingredients in.  It was quite hard because it sometimes came out.' - Ethan

'On the top I put dry strawberries and chocolate raisins, and then we ate it outside and I loved it.  It was really the best cereal ever.' - Gemma

Caterpillars moving in

We have monarch caterpillars in our class, because wasps are coming to Ms Werder's house and killing them.  Some of them are crawling on the ceiling and making chrysalis's there.  Some of the caterpillars have crawled all the way over the carpet to the reading box!  One accidentally sat on the mat, and then got sat on, on the mat.  Kennedy, Molly and Zania have been reading them stories.  We need to really look after them, because they keep on falling off the plant and wandering about.  They do a lot of poos, but their poos are only made out of leaves.  The chrysalis will turn black when the butterfly is ready to come out.  We have learned about life cycles, and that the caterpillars have 6 normal legs and 10 extra sucky ones.

We'll keep you updated on how they are going.  We have several chrysalis now in interesting places in the classroom, and we will be happy when we can release them.
