Experiments with Force and Motion

-

As part of our exploration into Force and Motion, we have been making Marble Runs, Marble Mazes and Domino Chains. Cyrus created an effective chain of DVD cases and books, beginning his chain by rolling a ball towards it and also getting it to run around a corner. With the challenge on to experiment with a large run of dominoes, Joshua built a superbly complex design. He used a range of layered dominoes, a car race track and a small car to launch his chain. If you would like more information or to see what others have created and learnt, please scroll down to the padlets below and view our class work which is getting updated and added to most days.

Our Summer Challenge poem - Writers Circle

 We've been given a challenge to write a summer poem, that uses only 3 of our senses, based on a picture of a boy mowing a lawn.  Stage 1 was to draw and then brainstorm some ideas for the sounds and smells we would have on a summer's day while lawns are being mown in the neighbourhood. Today's stage was to read the mentor's piece of writing, and look at the set out and language used. Using highlighters we located nouns, verbs and adjectives; talking about how they were used and what they do in a piece of writing. Our next stage is to write our own, and share with each other so that we can make it come alive for our readers.

 What a busy start to our new term.  We've immediately begun investigating chemical reactions, including how food matter changes when combined and cooked.  Check out the gas reactions we had with combining lemon juice, vinegar or water with baking soda or baking powder.       We have also moved on to looking at fractions, especially their size and which are bigger or smaller that each other.  I can see it won't be long before we start sharing out jelly beans and cutting cake to work out how to share it evenly.
