Magnet Research!

The tamariki in our writing group are turning into great little researchers. 

This week we are continuing our work with magnets and gathering new ideas on what we can do with them. Did you know that you can paint a picture using the pull and push force of a magnet? These children discovered that you can paint a picture by using magnets and metals by researching on the iPads. They are so excited to try this out for themselves on Thursday and create a masterpiece to share with everyone! 

I can't wait to see what they make. #Learn#Create#Share

Making Rafts

During Choice and Challenge, some of us built rafts out of sticks that were kindly given to the studio by Sam's family. A big thank you to Sam for being our expert raft maker.
Here are some of our creations.

Zara's Slideshow on Forces

This week we looked at, "What forces are', for our science inquiry. We also had a go at adding videos to our slideshows. Here is Zara's amazing presentation she created. Enjoy

Giving compliments

This week we are focused on giving and receiving compliments. This is Jasper and George being fantastic actors (and Caleb's excellent recording skills) showing us how easy it is to give a nice compliment to someone! 

Our challenge this week is to give at least two compliments a day and watch how happy it makes the other person. 

Jazmin's Science Slideshow

This week we have been finding out 'What Science Is'. This is the slideshow Jazmin created to show some of the things she found out. Enjoy

Travis's Holiday

Timezone

FUN

On the first Wednesday of the second school holidays of 2019. Me, Charlie and Mum went to Riccarton Timezone to play lots of fun arcade games. The first game we played was Deal or No Deal. Next we played a game where you have a water squirter and you have to shoot the fish with the water gun and you can get power-ups. Then we played a game that you drop a ball and it bounces into a hole and it has a number on it and the number says how many tickets you get. Then we went to the ticket counter and we got 80 tickets and we got a Freddo  chocolate and two blue slinkys.

Mad Science Day

We had mad science day to kick start our learning for this term. We did lots of experiments and had so much fun. We saw how rain clouds worked, we made elephant toothpaste and made a lava lamp! A special thank you to Richard for coming in to help us. We love science!!!
