Teach the Teacher - Lockie teaches us fireworks art!

Lockie has taught us how to make crayon backgrounds and paint them over with black paint. Then we let them dry over the weekend and  we have scratched our designs into them with skinny sticks - now hey presto! Fireworks!

Who would like to be an Electrician?

Here is the circuit ready to go. Mr Muir has set the main parts up for us already. Can you see the switch, lamp fitting, battery fitting and the wires?

We are all really excited to be making a circuit. We are learning to put the wires in the correct place, under a screw, under a metal plate. We have to trace the line of the circuit with our finger to figure out if the circuit is complete. If it is not the bulb will not light up when we turn the switch on.

Do you think you could try bread making at home? Compare it to the bread you buy from a shop.

Andreas is very keen to watch the reaction! It's Food Science!

Accurate measuring Max!

Making maths strategy decisions as a group

Sometimes I can solve a problem in my head by moving numbers around by imagining what they look like. Sometimes I need a strategy to solve a complex problem.

Which strategy do you use to solve a problem? Is it the most efficient? Let's compare to others. The Hexagons Group had a variety of word problems to solve using different operations. They used their own strategies and then worked with others to compare what they had done. They decided on the best strategy between them and recorded it here.

Lucas, along with Assistant Coaches Max and Quinn, taught us some great moves ad we had a really good go! Unfortunately the field was far too wet to walk, let along run on, so we had to make do with the play surface around the adventure playground. But it was a great running game and we all had fun!
