Watermelon Day

Team Two had a fantastic Watermelon Day early on Friday. The day was full of integrated learning activities.

We had science activities – exploring why watermelons float, and predicting how far the splatter would go if we dropped one off the roof. In numeracy, we figured out the total cost of the watermelons we purchased, then estimated and weighed them. In literacy we wrote taste poems, and found facts about how they are grown, their history, and their nutritional value. In art, we looked at examples of watermelon carvings – then tried our own!

The day was a full of fun! What a delicious way to start the year!
