May we play with clay today?

Chloe-Mae's clay fish

Bella's clay fish

First we had a Play Clay Day where we played and experimented with clay.  The next day we made a fish out of clay.  Now they must be left to dry out for three weeks before they are ready to be fired in the kiln.  The next stage will be to paint them in creative colours like the fish in the Go Fish Go book that motivated us in the first place.

Wrist wrappers rock!

We sprayed the wrist wrappers gold and glued on tiny jewels.

We followed the instructions in School Journal 25 to make wrist wrappers.

Our trip to MOTAT

The conductor told us all about the trams in the olden days.

Ashley helped the conductor drive the tram back to MOTAT.

The conductor let Ashley wear his conductor cap after helping drive the tram.

Jacob and Jordan were back at school, even while we were on a trip!

Cade used the hammer, rods and blocks to make a tall tower.

Nisha, Chloe-Mae and Hannah T made a skateboard.

Adan and Ben made vehicles using wheels and axles.

Room 3 and Room 5 worked together on the gear cogs.

A broken thumb didn't stop Daniel pushing Josiah round!

Bella and Daniel look like hobbits!

Jackson played the jandal drums!

Primary Science Week

Jordan measured his rocket shape carefully.

We used a straw to propel our rockets through the air.

Gloop . . . is it solid or liquid?

This was a hair raising experiment for Rebeca!

Karissa, Jacob and Ganujan races their balloon rocket cars.

We cut out paper flowers.  When we placed them in water the petals unfolded as water made the cells in the paper swell.

We did lots of experiments during Primary Science Week.  Some people participated in the Science Selfie challenge and uploaded a photo or video of the balloon rocket car they had made at home.  We looked at all the Science Selfies on the CBS Face Book page.
