Room 2's Garden

This term we planted plants in our class garden.  Each table team was responsible for planting.  We planted strawberries, basil and spinach, however the spinach died!  We are a little unsure why they died but we will plant something different next week. 

 Our garden is planted in pots because our classroom is upstairs.

Each week we have 2 gardners to water and move the plants into the sunlight.  Check out these pictures below.

Yabu Band

Last Friday the Yabu Band came to Tom Price Primary School for a visit. Dali talked to us about his bands music and about his story.  his story was about becoming a musician and travelling around Western Australia and South Africa.  His key message was to STAY IN SCHOOL!

At recess the Yabu Band sung I am Australian in Aboriginal language.  I really liked how it sounded, it was so different to the English version.

Room Two's Facial Experience

The UP4IT Team came back to Tom Price Primary School last Friday. Room 2 was lucky to learn how to give facial massages to the other students.  

We learnt to look after our skin in different ways, and how to keep it healthy and clean.  It was fun and we hope our tutor Michelle comes back next year to give us more awesome facts and tips.

By Carli and Jay-lee

Oh and by the way my skin feels better than ever. 🤗

Kagan Team Building Week 1-5 Term 4

Today we used the app Popplet to complete our Team Building activities 

with our Week 1-5 Kagan Teams.

If you eat...

Sour Gummy Worms

Before today I thought that sour gummy worms were the best lollies ever, until today I found out that the gelatin is made of pig parts!

Sour gummy worms are made with, corn syrup, sugar, citric acid and lactic acid. Horrifically the gelatin is made from pig skin!

They taste so super delicious! When they touch your tongue you can just feel the sourness in your mouth and it’s amazing!

It looks like a small thick strip with two colours and sugary powder on top.

If you eat sour gummy worms for a whole week you will be the unhealthiest person in the world. You would get really sick because it has no nutrients. Your teeth would rot because of the high sugar levels. You would get really super fat because of all the sugar.

Pizza

Pizza

Pizza is a bread-like dough that is used as a base that gets topped with foods. Some people top pizza with ham, pineapple, mushroom, bacon and cheese. Pizza also has a delicious tomato paste. Pizza tastes cheesy and tomatoey, it looks delicious, its cheesy and is crunchy.

With pizza you can go two different ways. The good and healthy way or the not so good and not so healthy way. For the healthy way you can get some vitamins and nutrients where as the not healthy  way you might not get as much vitamins and nutrients.so if some one was to only eat pizza for a week they [depending on which way you choose] probably would get an okay amount of nutrients depending on what you top your pizza with.

Chocolate

Chocolate is made of milk. 

It tastes like milk.

Its dark brown is chocolate.

 It is circle has stripes.

Inside the chocolate has brown.

It is yummy.

It has calcium because it has milk.

Chocolate is not healthy.

The chocolate is yummy but it is not good for your teeth because of all the sugar.

If you ate chocolate for a week you would not be healthy.

By Jesse.

I love...

The food

I love lasagna so much. The lasagna is one of my favourite food. Sweet and so much of the lasagna is so good. It is a little bit healthy and very delicious. Lasagna has chunky brow mince, a thick sauce and melted cheese. Lasagna is the best when it is hot.

                                                                         

If someone had lasagna of a week what would happen do you think really lasagna has meat in it so it can make you strong and healthy. The cheese keeps your body of bones strong.

If someone ate...

Fried rice

Fried rice is made of rice and bacon and peas and carrots it is fried up with butter or oil. It also has soy sauce and eggs. Fried rice has capsicum, prawns and chilli. Sometimes fried rice has crab meat and lemon it.

Fried rice tastes sweet and yummy for your tummy. It is healthy and it will make you feel full.

If someone ate fried rice for a week it will be a good life for that person. Rice has vegetables and rice and not too much sugar so it is quite healthy to eat for a week.it has good vitamins and foods that give you energy in it.

Snow balls

Snow balls

 Snow balls are made of sticky marshmallow the marshmallow are covered  in chocolate and the chocolate   is covered in count it tastes like chocolate and you can taste a little bit of the sweet ,fluffy marshmallow it looks like a chocolate ball but when you  bite it looks like snow balls  

Snow balls are NOT healthy. I would say snow balls are a treat. If you run a race they will help you run faster because they lots of sugar. Besides it is not healthy so don’t eat snow balls for a whole week. 

By Samara      

If you ate...

Pumpkin scones

Pumpkin scones are made with some mashed pumpkin, self-raising flour, butter, eggs, sugar and milk. This is mouth-watering with jam and cream. This food tastes rich and bold like a fluffy cloud. Pumpkin scones are bright yellow on the outside and pale yellow inside with cream and jam it looks white and red. Pumpkin scones great with tea.

Pumpkin scones have lots of calcium and fats also bad sugars. If you ate this food for a week your teeth will rot from not getting enough nutrients and your face will change. Your energy levels will rise then drop your weight will continue to grow and muscles will disappear!!!

By Carli W

If I ate...

Apples

What I like about the apple is that it is juicy and yum. Some are red and some are green. It tastes like the green apple, it is also tastes sour and juicer.

Apples are green, they are also round and inside it there is white food and a stalk and seeds.

Apples are healthy and good, they make you strong. You should eat two apples a day.

If someone ate apples for a week they would have too much natural sugar. The apple has a little bit of sugar in it. The skin might get stuck in your teeth. It might give you extra weight and rotten teeth.

This photo was taken at Brean Down last week. Brean is a peninsula in the South West of England and it is very popular with holiday makers. There are some wonderful walks along the ridge that leads to Brean Down Fort which was built in the 1860s.

Whilst a friend of mine was walking along the hillside we came across these HUGE footprints! You can see how large they are compared to her trainer and she has big feet!

In your 100 Word Challenge or 5 Sentence Challenge can you answer the following questions?

Who or what made them?

The Milford Street Shakers

On the 10th of August we went to the Milford Street Shaker.  It was really cool and REALLY loud. 

I learnt that when everyone cooperates the sound the music makes is EPIC!  I reckon the best instrument was the electric guitar because it makes a cool sound.

Tom Price primary School 50th Celebration

On Friday 21st of July Tom Price primary School celebrated their 50th Anniversary.

The thing I like the most was the concert.  I liked it because I was new and I got to be part of something BIG.

It was scary at first but then I was just being myself.  It was great because we all had to cooperate, I got to learn a lot about others in my class.
