Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!

Yesterday Redwood School celebrated Dr Seuss' birthday by having a wacky day filled with Dr Seuss fun. Lets not forget we were dressed in our PJs for the occasion! Room 12 started the day by noticing a few wacky things including a shoe on the wall which was particularly puzzling. We later learnt that the shoe on the wall was a line in a Dr Seuss book called Wacky Wednesday. We also read the tongue-twisting Fox in Socks and Bartholomew and the Oobleck. The later story of the two is about a page boy named Bartholomew who is determined to save the kingdom of Didd from oobleck (a very sticky green goo) that is falling from the sky. Room 12 found trays of oobleck in the classroom after morning tea and excitedly felt the oobleck. The oobleck felt strange! It was both hard like a solid.. and soft like a liquid. We learnt the scientific name for this type of fluid is non-newtonian. Today we started writing about our oobleck experience and are learning to add detail to this piece of writing.
Below are a few photos showing us having fun with the oobleck. Lucy fittingly renamed it ew-bleck...
