Tug Of War

Today we did another activity to expore force and friction. We had a tug of war. First we went into the hall, where the surface is smooth. We tried having a tug of war in shoes, socks and barefeet. We found the tug of war in sock extremely difficult as there was hardly any friction and we were sliding all over the place. We felt that there was more friction when we had barfeet.

Next we went outside on the grass and did the same. Once again socks was the hardest and barfeet the best.

So we know that when we have Race Day with our CO2 cars the hall will be the best place. We want to reduce friction so our cars go FAST!

Person of the week!

Our person of the week has had an awesome attitude and has tried extremely hard with his behaviour. He was very well behaved while we were on camp. Can you tell who it is?

Fish Art

We have been creating fish art. First we weaved a wavy background using 2 different coloured blues. Next we drew our fish, we went around them with a sharpie and dyed them. We cut out our fish and glued them onto the weave. I think they look great.

Who has visited us?

A group of people from our class looked closely at the clustr map on our blog. The clustr map shows all the differnt places people have veiwed our blog from. We wanted to create our own clustr map in class. So firstly they found all the places that have visited our blog on our map and then they placed a drawing pin into the map. Now we know where all our blog visitors are coming from. I wonder how many red dots we will have by the end of the year?

Forces in Action

Today we looked more closely at the different types of force. We discussed friction force, gravity, applied force and many more. Have look at what we learnt.


We also looked more closely at the different types of push and pull force. Mrs Larsen and Mrs McAvoy cut out lots of picture from magazines and we wrote what force was happening in the picture and whether it was a push or pull force. Force is everywhere!

Buddy Art

Today we had another session of buddy art. This time we went to Room 12 and taught them how to observationally draw fish. After they drew a fish they were happy with we went around them with a sharpie. Next week we are going to colour them in with dye and glue them onto our wavy weave background.

CO2 Car Design

A couple of week ago Mrs Larsen introduced our new inquiry. We are going to be making a Co2 car and racing them. Before Mrs Larsen has taught us anything, we designed what we would make our Co2 car to look like. Check out some students first thoughts.

Congratulations both of you.
