Dissolving sugar
Question
Does sugar dissolve quicker in cold or hot water?
Method
We had 4 different temperatures of water in beakers, we had freezing cold, cold, warm and hot. We put 1teaspoon of sugar in the beakers and stirred them at the same time. Then we counted how long it took for the sugar to dissolve.
Results
The sugar dissolved quickest in the hot water. The sugar in the freezing water didn't really dissolve.

HELP NEEDED FOR BAKING
Thanks to the wonderful parents who helped with baking on last Friday. It was great fun. We won't do baking this Friday as the staffroom is being used for the Lit Quiz.
Our next baking day will be Friday 4th April. We are hoping to make and sell cupcakes and slices to fundraise at the 'Toy and Book' sale that evening.
We need parents to bake with groups of children on from 9-11am on Friday 4th April and help to decorate and package treats from 2-3pm.
We can only succeed if we have parent help. If you can help or donate ingredients please email me: lisa@papakowhai.school.nz

Rimu Rua Writing
We have been working really hard on our writing this week. We have created creatures based on the book The Hoppameleon by Paul Geraghty.
We thought of creatures we shared characteristics with and ones we'd like to share characteristics with. We added their names together each time we wrote about them to make our own personal creature. All our writing is displayed on the wall in the classroom if you'd like to see more.
What creature would you be?
