Video Star

Today a small group were lucky to be chosen to work with Mrs Stevenson's daughter to create a video star.  Here is the video they have created.  We have viewed and critiqued it, in hope to improve it on Thursday.

First week of Term 4

We all had an amazing first week back for Term 4.  We had our annual visit from Harold with Life Education.  He taught us about the systems in our body.  We also learnt how to read food labels and how much Fat, Sugar and Salt we should be eating. We also had Gina from Project Energise.  This term we are focusing on Run, Jump and Throw.  Duffy also presented an amazing show to us about the importance of Reading.  The week was topped off by our Greats and Grands Day.  We all had a wonderful time with our grandparents.

Our Assembly

On Friday it was our assembly.  We took the school on a plane trip around the world, stopping of at different countries in each continent.  The children selected a country and created a presentation and a virtual field trip using we-video about their country.  Here are some pictures of our assembly.

                            

                            

Cross Country

Room 9 had a very successful day at the annual Cross Country held at our School on Wednesday.  Before the Cross Country they all set themselves a goal and most of them achieved their goal.  We had lots of placings too.
Here are a few photos from the day.

                                      

Science Fair

Yahoo! The science fair day had finally come.  We were all excited to share our science experiments with the rest of the school.  Here are some photos of our experiments.

          

                                      

                                

 

                                  

Balloon Blow-up Experiment

We are really enjoying our science experiments.  Everyone is looking forward to completing their own experiment ready for the science fair.  Here is a video of a experiment we did using baking soda, vinegar, a bottle and a balloon.

We did this experiment three times.  We change the amount of vinegar we used the second time and the amount of baking soda the second time.  More baking soda produced a bigger balloon.
As the baking soda mixes with vinegar a chemical reaction takes place and creates carbon dioxide which blows up the balloon.

Term 3

Welcome back to Term 3 - a very fun packed term with lots of things happening. We have started our science experiments ready for the science fair in week five.  We have been following the Commonwealth Games and are very proud of New Zealand.
