Recycled Robot

Brent worked really hard to make this robot out of old boxes. It was quite big and its arms moved.

Changes

We made clay pots as part of our study looking at changes.First we rolled snake shapes and twirled them into spirals and pressed all the spirals together to make a bowl shape. They looked really good. Then we mixed up lots of ingredients like citric acid and baking soda and herbs and we made bath bombs. These smelt great. We wrapped them and made gift tags and gave ythem to our parents.

Challenges

We have been looking at inventions and inventors. We invented our own marble tracks and tested them. Some of us had spirals and bridges and jumps. Mr McKenzie came and judged the tracks. We found that they were harder to make than we thought! After that we worked on some technology challenges .We made clothes and stilts and all sorts of things with just newspaper and sellotape. We had to work cooperatively with our group and that wasn't always easy.

Swimming

Room 3 has just finished going swimming at D.N.I pool.We all improved and really enjoyed it. Some of us went with Room 5 and some with Room 10 and we all had fun.

Cross Country

On the last day of term 1 we had our school cross country. It was a lovely day and we sat outside and watched the classes run the course .We all cheered for the others and were excited for our turn.
