Jump - trampolining fun

-

 We had an awesome time at Jump on the final week of Term 1.  It seems like a long time since we had a school trip, and best of all, this trip wasn't dependent on the weather.  Just as well, as it was a rather wet and rainy day.


Lots of us tried the different trampolines, but many of us found some that we really enjoyed, and perfected our jumping on some of them.  The Foam Pit was especially popular, with many of us jumping from different heights, or jousting.

Thanks Whaea Rhoda and Mrs Southcombe for organising this trip for us.

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.
