Every time a coconut!!

In Room 7 we managed to get hold of a Coconut to study and have a look at, most of the children had never seen one let alone cracked it open and tasted one.  We named it spiky as it looked a bit like a hedgehog.  It was a real fun experience shaking it and listening to the liquid slosh around inside!!
First we hypothesised what it may look/taste like, then we got Gary to drill a hole in it for us and crack it open.  Upon tasting the coconut milk the reactions varied from fresh, and yummy to yuck and disgusting.  But we all agreed that the coconut flesh wasn't too bad.
PS - did you know more people are killed every year by falling coconuts than are killed by sharks!!!

Fabulous Fish!!

For Art this term we have been studying construction, last week we made robots out of all sorts of recycled bits and pieces and this week we made 3D fish, we drew the template and coloured in our fish with pastel and then cut it out, staples it together and stuffed them with paper.  We think they are pretty cool.  What do you think?
