Balloon Science With Mary!

Today, we had a special visitor Mr Cook! He taught us a really cool experiment to do involving balloons, a bottle, and hot water! It was lots of fun to do and I'd definitely do it again!

Interview With John, Scarlet, Desmond, and Bageletto... Tsunami Warning!

In Ruma J we have been doing a second natural disaster activity and I peered up with Bridget, Jakob and Tylar. This time we got to choose our of tsunami's, earthquakes or the aurora. We all decided to do Tsunami's. We then for our final, creative creation we decided to do a roll play of Tsunami experts; Jakob acting as John, Bridget acting as Bageletto, Tylar acting as Scarlet, and lastly me acting as Desmond. I hope you enjoy, and learn lots of stuff about Tsunami's from our video!

Tornado Interview With Scarlet Criskit And Desmond Bluebird

What we did:

At school we have been learning about Forces. In my class, (Ruma J) we got to choose out of 3 natural disasters to learn about more ( we chose Tornados!) and then we got to make a creative creation to show our Learning. Tylar and I peered up and we did a news flash about Desmond Bluebird ( Me) and Scarlet Criskit (Tylar) that have just witnessed a tornado! I hope you enjoy!

Here is our video, and I hope you learn lots about... Tornado's!!

Forces Explained!

Balloon experiment.

When tapping lightly on the balloon your ears can hear the noise loudly. When you blew up the balloon you forced the air molecules inside the balloon closer to each other. Because the air molecules inside the balloon are closer together, they become a better conductor of sound waves than the ordinary air around you.

Flora and Fauna Research with Mr Barnett and Henk.

On the 13 of June Mr Barnett visited our school to talk about the flora and fauna research the class has done. He bought a special guest too, his name was Henk from the Department Of Conservation - DOC. Once Mr Barnett and Henk had gave us feedback on our research, we went on the Velenski walk. Henk named lots of of birds and plants.  I learnt lots of bird names and we even got to try some leaves, I thought one tasted of dirt and wood. YUK! 

Experimenting With Sound.

In Ruma J we have a literacy task about sound. This video here is  Bridget and I doing an experiment involving some water in glasses, a pencil and a solid object. If you're interested take a look at the video! 

Did you know magnets are in microwaves?
