Zero Waste

Today was fun - having a really close look at some tiger worms which help compost waste.
They were huge.

Wind Vanes

What fun we had making these wind vanes. They look simple enough but involved quite a bit of thought - especially tricky was trying to balance the straw on the pencil so it stayed straight. Quite a bit of problem solving involved. We then had to ensure their was enough surface area on the vanes to push them around.

Ag Day

What a fantastic day. I love the concentration and creativity.

Light It Up

The House of Science have some amazing kits for us to use. this week we are exploring electricity and light.
Today we made simple circuits. The playdough was a conductor.

Weather Home Learning Projects

Look at these wonderful home learning projects. Charlie created an incredible tornado. I love the way he included all the items that were sucked up into the tornado - animals included.

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.
