Theme

This is our theme work about falling and sinking

Falling and sinking are the same because....

-both involve objects being pulled by gravity.

-both can be reduced by making things wider and flatter in shape.

Falling and sinking are different because....

-objects fall through air and sink through liquid.

-falling is faster than sinking because liquid is thicker than air.

-some objects that fall, don't sink.

We made tin foil boats to make rocks float.

The best designs that held the most weight were the ones that had the largest areas and had high sides. The high sides stopped the water getting in and the large areas stopped the shapes falling through the water.

Cheyenne's Xmas Presentation

Here is Cheyenne's presentation about Xmas. She made it for her homework last week.
Each slide will show for 4 seconds, so you will need to pause the video to read all of the writing on some of the slides. Sorry that it's a bit hard to read in places.

Pod 1 kidpix

This morning we had to work with little kids . Me and Bronte went with Lucy. I think Lucy was good and creative. I just watched her it was fun and cool. We didn't need to teach them anything but we did anyway. Mr.B went to pod 6 to get the C.O.W but it was already there. We had so much fun it was cool. We were going to do some art on a cow. We just told them what did what and we just watch.

Photos from helping Pod 1 use the COW

This is a follow up to the post this morning about helping Pod 1 to use the Computers On Wheels (COW). The children from both classes really enjoyed working on the laptops, even working three times longer than both Mrs Barber and I expected. Here are a few photos from the morning.
