Cloud models

Here are our versions of the different types of clouds. Note the thicker heavier clouds are lower in the sky as they are heavy and hold a lot of rain.

Disaster Art

We learnt about Andy Warhol and Pop Art. We decided to choose a disaster and create a computer generated piece of art based on one of Warhol's pieces.

Magician's visit

Today we had a magician visiting the school to do a promo for his show. He did some cool tricks - even made a live bird appear out of a picture frame.
I managed to catch some of the kids reactions.

Weather Reports

We have been learning how to read weather maps - what a High pressure area is, a cold and warm front, what it means when isobars are close together.
We used google drawings to create our own weather maps using the correct fronts and colours. Next we will write a weather report to match our picture.
Here are a few examples

Badminton

For the next few weeks we are learning how to play badminton. The first part of session one was spent learning how to hold the racket correctly and get used to balancing the shuttlecock.

Light and Water

We have been exploring light. We had fun discovering why we could see the laser light when we shone a fine mist of water around the beam.
